It was a day filled with adventure, reflection, and just enough adrenaline to keep me talking about it long after the ride was over.

When the Road Changes the Plan: A Central Coast Adventure I Didn’t Know I Needed
There’s something magical about finally getting the reservation. For six months, I had been looking forward to camping at Limekiln State Park.
