THANK YOU FIRST RESPONDERS

Not too long ago, Monterey County was ravaged by three large fires.  Thankfully, two have been 100% contained and all evacuation warnings and orders have been lifted for those areas.  The Dolan Fire is still active and fire crews and emergency personnel are working around the clock to keep things from escalating.

Thank you to WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca for providing the first emergency center during the outbreak of the Carmel and River Fires; and thank you to Cal-Fire for their relentless work in keeping us safe.  

KEEP BIG SUR ALIVE.

Big Sur is a magical place for all.  It personifies the essence of the Central Coast and is truly the greatest meeting of land and sea.  But did you know that most of Big Sur is private land?  On August 7th, Los Padres National Forest Monterey Ranger District released a COVID-19 Emergency Road Closure Order. Before setting up camp, please be sure you are on public land and have made the proper reservations and have obtained the proper permits where appropriate.  Fines for illegal campsites and fires are upwards to $5,000.  Please do your part to protect Monterey County's majestic outdoors. 

Note: Highway 1 is closed from approximately 3 miles north of Gorda to Slates Hot Springs, near Esalen Institute.  Businesses are sill open up to and including Nepenthe. Please help support local small business.

Please feel free to contact me with any industry related questions or concerns: jkocher@seemonterey.com. 

We appreciate your partnership and support.  We couldn't do what we do without you. 

Stay well and take good care.
