California Coast

 
 

After five exhausting weeks filming in Africa, I got to drive more than a thousand miles up the California Coast with friends of more than 20 years

Ocean Beach, San Diego
Coast lines 
Open road
Big Sur
Barefoot free climbing
Pigeon Point Lighthouse
Oakland
Dolores Park, SF

Spent 5 nights hiking and camping on The Lost Coast Trail, the longest stretch of undeveloped coastline in California 

Slept outside next to the fire and under the stars
Where ecosystems collide 
Washed up whale
Washed up redwood tree

"It is a rare and precious thing to awaken at the confluence of two streams, to merge minds at a watery intersection in time, between the fading play of light and shadow. It is an even rarer and more precious thing to practice this rite deep in the woods, with two of your childhood friends". –Rob Bethea

 

After the Lost Coast we spent a night under the redwoods in Humboldt State Park
