Chapter 386 Hearst Castle
If you see piles of deflated blue and purple balloons on the beach, don’t think they are avant-garde art—they are actually the famous ["Wind Sailor" sail jellyfish].This creature generally floats on the surface of the open ocean, following the ocean currents, traveling with the wind, and using the hard triangular "sail" to find food.

A close relative of the stranded jellyfish is the sail jellyfish, which often inhabits the open ocean.They use stinging tentacles to capture food, and appear in two different body forms throughout their lives.

The fleeting time cannot retain the previous feelings, but the sunshine, sandy beach, and light and white waves have always witnessed the changes of the years and the vicissitudes of life.
Leaving [Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park], Zhang Feng came to another famous park [Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park] half an hour away by car 】.

Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park, established in 1962, is a state park in California, United States, located on the coast of Big Sur.The park is named for Julia Pfeiffer Burns, a respected early 20th-century Big Sur resident and rancher who lived in the area for most of her life until 1928 Died in the year.

【McWay Waterfall】

Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park is famous because of the world-famous McWay Falls.

McWay Falls is one of only two "Tidefalls" in California, and the other is named "Alamere Falls".The source of the waterfall is [McWay Creek], and the water volume remains constant throughout the year.McVeigh Falls in Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park, a waterfall falling on the beach from the gaps in the giant rocks on the coast, moving scenes often appear in various calendars and landscape atlases
The waterfall falls like a jade curtain from the top of the cliff to the beach 80 feet below. The milky white waves rise and fall, and sometimes go straight to the beach to meet the falling waterfall.The beach is also arc-shaped according to the shape of the bay, and some abrupt and sharp rocks are dotted with the corners of the beach like an irregular chessboard. With such a wonderful layout, I have to once again lament the masterpiece of nature that is ubiquitous in this world.

After visiting Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park, it means that Zhang Feng's [Route [-]] trip for this day has been successfully completed.Zhang Feng and the others are about to leave for the night's accommodation [Big Sur Riverside Campground & Cabins].

It was also a pretty good experience for Zhang Feng to enter the camp.After all, Zhang Feng doesn’t have to live in hotels every day during the self-driving trip on California Highway [-], but occasionally lives in camps. He walks in the forest at night, listens to the gurgling stream, and looks up at the magical stars in the sky.

Tourists who drive a mobile home and camp in the camp are quite proud.

Zhang Feng and the others lived in Cabin No. 5, a beautiful small wooden house located deep in the forest.

The bedroom is also quite neat and elegant, and the overall color matching is like an oil painting. beauty.Even the sleeping environment can be so beautiful, Zhang Feng wondered if it's time to go to bed impatiently.
