Turns Out: 21 Years On The Big Sur River - 9781096329121

What's it like to live in Big Sur? So few people have written about it, this book offers a rare opportunity to get an inside look at recent times in Big Sur. This story gives you the fun, and not so fun, aspects of what happens when a naive, not fabulously wealthy, suburbanite couple, with no experience in real estate, rivers, or the woods, see, and fall in love with, two "unusual" acres of Redwoods on the Big Sur River.This is a modern tale of life on the riverbank; it's about the quest to stay warm, and connected to the Internet, about road trips, trucks, survival, chainsaws, and hard work. It's about removing dangerous redwoods and dead oaks, and re-building a "swinging" bridge. It's about overcoming fear, and learning to be resilient and prepared, about history, community, wildlife, dogs, making water run, and dirt, lots of dirt. They didn't wait for retirement to go on their grand adventure, they lived their own version of the California Dream, and survived it. If you've been to Big Sur, want to visit, or you're just thinking about moving to the "country," get this fun little book! *Includes more than 25 color pictures*
