dreams, memes, Big Sur-prises and Adventure Challenge!

After an arduous trip across the western states,

Somewhere. or Nowhere, actually

I’ve landed on the California Coast to join our West Coast Correspondant, Lauren:

Our first out-of-sf adventure together (with newest member Blake in tow!) started out beachside Carmel, haunting the steps of dubCAT members Char and Ang.  After a few misty moments on the beach, we snoozed in a not-quite-quaint cottage before heading out to Point Lobos for tidepools, sea lions and very adorable crabs. 4am dreams of cataclysm aside, we were almost fully rested by the time we packed our fruits and chocolate into the xBox and started out.

tidepools!

Then we passed through a few amazing  surprise vistas in the fog on our way to Julia Pfeiffer Park in Big Sur. The 80 drop waterfall onto the sand beach of the cove was breathtaking — the perfect way to escape from urban claustrophobia.

Lauren surprised us all with a fully channeled Gandalf-at-the-bridge re-enactment.

Meme quality!
