Big Sur Camping Pictures - Page 1

Jessica and I borrowed my parents' RV and went up to Big Sur for a week. If you've never been there, Big Sur is the 90 miles of central California coastline between San Simeon and Carmel, where steep California mountains meet the ocean. While were there, we went hiking, explored dozens of remote beaches, drove through dark redwood forests and through the mountains. Here are the pics.
