Went for a quick Overland adventure this past weekend. Found a sweet camping spot overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Then on the way home, I drove threw the Old Coast Rd and ended up at the Bixby bridge.

@ShawnR , This place was The Ventana Wilderness of Los Padres National Forest, just south of Big Sur. This area has great hiking trail and theirs some natural hot springs you can hike to as well.Looks like a great place to spend some time hiking.

It's a beautiful area. My father used to live in Carmel. I'd go out to visit on occasion. One of my favorite locations is Point Lobos. Spent a lot of time hiking that area and photographing. And of course, heading to the aquarium in Monterey.@ShawnR , This place was The Ventana Wilderness of Los Padres National Forest, just south of Big Sur.

@maktruk Sorry I didn't post a route. I was using a free Android GPS map App and it wasn't working so well. The Campsite is called Prewitt Ridge Campsite. The route from HWY 1 is the same route that Michael took on his Big Sur trip. You can find his post at http://www.overlandbound.com/overland-trip-big-sur-ca-overland-bound/How much $$$ does it take to get the location of that campsite from ya?
Thanks! Sadly, after reading some of the reviews it seems many people don't know how to dig a hole. Stories of TP littering the ground and actual human waste littering the sites. Did you find this to be the case??@maktruk Sorry I didn't post a route. I was using a free Android GPS map App and it wasn't working so well. The Campsite is called Prewitt Ridge Campsite.

The route from HWY 1 to the camp site is about 45 minutes and the first half of the road is paved and the other have is dirt roads which is no problem since I seen a Prius , Corolla's and a 80's Volkswagen bus up there. The road is narrow at some places and the views are "AWESOME" . If you go, don't go on a holiday weekend like I did. The place got crowded and their was a large group in the area rocking out till 2am.
