South Big Sur - Ventana Wilderness

We meet Moonstone Beach Bar & Grill, 6550 Moonstone Beach Dr, Cambria at 6PM Nov. 21 on Thu 6PM for dinner and orientation.
You'll need to drive through San Luis Obispo. Hwy 1 in Big Sur is impassible because of landslide.
Lodging: There are plenty hotels and rentals in Cambria and San Simeon. Any will work but you may consider something closer to Fiscalini Ranch Preserve where we'll walk/hike on Sunday. I booked room in Cambria Pines Lodge.
Make sure you'll have free cancellation till Nov 17. Rainy weather will cancel the trip plus I have Jury duty Nov 14 ( it is very unlikely affect this trip).
