One of the most breathtaking places on earth is Big Sur along the rugged central California coast. Over the past few days wildfires have charred some 65,000 acres of the neighboring Los Padres National Forest, and flames have destroyed several homes just a stone's throw from the celebrated Ventana Inn and Spa off Highway 1.
My wife and I are watching the story closely, given that we spent our honeymoon at Ventana back in 1998 and stayed there again a few years later. Keep your fingers crossed for Big Sur.
