Big Sur
The place names of this coast
Forty-three places between San Simeon and Carmel, south to north, each told by Mabel Plaskett — whose column Coast Trails ran in the King City Rustler’s monthly supplement from 1959 to 1964, who was in print as early as 1941 under the pen name Belinda Brown, and whose family has been on this coast since 1869.
