In this episode we talk about our Big Sur NOT Big Sur Road Trip where we attempt to brave the worst storm in California in 20 years to road trip up Hwy 1 to Big Sur. We recount the mudslide that put a wrench in our plans, but how we recovered for an epic weekend road trip story.

We cover:

• Road tripping Hwy 1
• Driving in a rainstorm
• The famous Bixby Creek Bridge
• Hiking San Simeon State Park
• Where to eat and drink in Monterrey
• Hiking Pinnacles National Park
• How to deal when the unexpected gets in the way of your travel plans

Where to stay for this Hwy 1 (sort of) Road Trip:

• San Simeon (southern point of the trip): Sea Breeze Inn or Silver Surf Motel
• Monterrey (northern point of the trip): Stargazer Inn & Suites, El Castell Motel, or The Inn at 1252
