2 Nights, 3 Guys, & 23 Miles
I had a great weekend backpacking with 2 buddies/2 of the leaders in our twenties ministry
in the Ventana Wilderness, outside Big Sur,
where we enjoyed great campsites,
the majestic Big Sur River,
and one scenic toilet
I remember hiking out there a few years back. I stayed at a campsite called Sykes Camp where there are natural hot springs. Was a real pain to find them but was worth it when we did. Was a total blast and what made it even better was the motorcycle ride to get there via Phoenix, Vegas and LA! I like the long way around ;-) Riding a bike is definitely a more spiritual experience to driving a car.
Big Sur, way to go Justin. It’s good to get a way with your team and bond.
I have hiked into Sykes Hot Springs with an Army Chaplain and we had a blast. We sat in those Sulfur Hot Springs on a early February morning when it was pretty chilly
Great post! Love the illustrations.
Yes, those hot springs near Sykes Camp are great. We sat in the main hot spring for a solid hour. Good times.
