The back of the card reads:

After the dramatic wildlands fire of Summer 2008, we are visiting Big Sur. To our joy, we see the magnificent sea blending into the fabled redwood forests and mountains that made Big Sur so rare. We see the beaches, cliffs, and waterfalls, and feel the timelessness of this natural sanctuary. We also are experiencing the exciting cuisine, literature, art and hospitality that we always have been so fond of here.

This is a historic time. We are part of a renewal of this resilient and wonderful place.
