"content": "\u003cp>[dropcap]I[/dropcap]t is true -- we could have gotten close to our destination by car -- but the idea of rushing a story about life in the new Big Sur seemed the journalistic equivalent of slamming a fine wine like it's a Jell-O shooter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's also true that locals and officials warned us not to walk Highway 1, as there are stretches that could crumble, making it almost impossible to get emergency personnel to any injury scene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But I heard stories: There were mountain lions walking in the middle of empty roads, and longtime recluses sunbathing naked on the highway, and kids hiking miles just to get to school, and I had to see for myself if any of that was true.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So we grabbed some snacks, water, recording gear and a camping knife, threw on a pair of comfortable shoes and started on a 36-mile, 36-hour journey into California's newest coastal island.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \"we\" is my friend Gabrielle Gaudet and me. We traveled by foot and by thumb from the site of the ruined Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge in the north to the gigantic Mud Creek landslide just south of the hamlet of Gorda. As we walked and hitchhiked, we met a dozen people who are living on this landlocked island. We also walked long stretches where the only sounds came from the sea crashing against the rocks far below and our shoes hitting the sun-bleached pavement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nature has severed the road connecting much of Big Sur to the rest of the world. From the Mud Creek slide to Pfeiffer Canyon the only route out is the winding, steep, slow-moving Nacimiento-Fergusson Road. And continuing trouble at a spot called \u003ca href=\"https://bigsurkate.wordpress.com/2017/01/15/how-pauls-slide-got-its-name/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Paul's Slide\u003c/a> has frequently blocked the coast highway -- including last weekend. When that happens, the only way in or out of a 23-mile stretch, home to many Big Sur residents and businesses, is by boat or helicopter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What we found is that this historic road closure has created a dangerous, beautifully deserted slice of California, filled with spectacular vistas of the mountains walling the Pacific, the landscape eerily vacant of people, as though it has been cleared to film a post-apocalyptic movie.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11489822\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11489822\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/ExBridgeSite-800x529.jpg\" alt=\"The former site of the Pfeiffer Canyon bridge in Big Sur.\" width=\"800\" height=\"529\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/ExBridgeSite-800x529.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/ExBridgeSite-160x106.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/ExBridgeSite-1020x674.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/ExBridgeSite.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/ExBridgeSite-1180x780.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/ExBridgeSite-960x635.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/ExBridgeSite-240x159.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/ExBridgeSite-375x248.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/ExBridgeSite-520x344.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The former site of the Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge in Big Sur. \u003ccite>(John Sepulvado/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>[dropcap]A[/dropcap]ll that is left of the Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge is one sawed-off, homely stump.

In the distance, we saw bicyclists and could hear the faraway laughter of kids echo off the coastal rocks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Saturday, about 30 families were camped at Limekiln State Beach. There were still open campsites during what's usually one of the year's busiest weekends.

There are golden California poppies, lupine, monkey flowers, wild mustard and radish. As we head south, the ocean sends a fierce wind rolling over the flowers, stretching their stems to the mountains, their buds pointed toward the earth like little ears hoping to find rumors in the dirt.

For the people left without a job ... they are being displaced, and I think many, many of them are living with relatives elsewhere. So, Big Sur has been depopulated.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of those who work in the resorts and restaurants along this stretch of road have been laid off. Because they often live on-site at their workplaces, they have also lost their housing. For the handful who remain, they have to travel 50 miles over the mountains to the Salinas Valley town of King City to file for unemployment and make follow-up appointments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of these workers don't have cars, meaning those who do file for assistance have to walk and hitchhike to get to their appointments. The manager of a small cafe in Gorda tells me some of her employees went to King City for temporary assistance and never came back. They might have tried to call, she said, but there's been no phone service to Gorda since the Mud Creek slide on May 20.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another man told us he is sleeping in a spare room at the restaurant where he works. He lives only 3 miles from work, but because his home is on the south side of the Mud Creek slide he now travels more than 100 miles to get to work on the north side -- without a car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caltrans officials said the road will be out at least a year.
