Escaping Santa Cruz Crowds: circa 1880

A plein air landscape painting of Gamboa point and Big Creek bridge on Highway One on Monterey's Big Sur coast of California

Yup. Even in 1880 Santa Cruz was getting too crowded for some folks, like Sabrino Gamboa who fled to this stretch of Big Sur’s coast nearly 150 years ago. Same as it ever was, I guess.
