Our plan was to spend four nights at the cabin near Big Sur where we have been going for many years. We arrived Monday afternoon and spent Tuesday driving down to Nepenthe for lunch and then a hike at Andrew Molera. That night around 10 o'clock we were both reading and enjoying the total quiet when we heard a big crash outside. We went out and found our car half covered in branches and badly dented and the rear window shattered. It was still driveable, so in the morning we packed up and left. On the way, we stopped for a short walk on the headlands of Soberanes Point. It was a beautiful scene and a line of pelicans flew past which inspired this painting.
