Doc Mishler last rode the coast road fifteen years ago with the two horses pictured on the right: Chief Free Spirit and Keep The Faith. At that time, Doc trotted from Montana to Washington D.C., by way of California, after surviving a cancer diagnosis and its treatment and reading the book, How Then Shall We … Continue reading Doc Mishler Rides Again!

Dude gave me his name, but I didn't ask his permission to share, so I'll tell you that dude's name is "Noah." Noah's hitched rides from Shasta County to the San Mateo County coast. He has no specific destination. New Mexico, ultimately, then back home. "Lightning Fields, New Mexico," I suggested. Noah hadn't heard about … Continue reading Coast Road Wayfarer

I am not without hope of delighting to find the essential Coast Road novel. Expectations defined in a previous post on two Coast Road-titled books ended with a request that, at the very least, when a book is titled, “The Coast Road,” then the reader better find plenty of setting along the Coast Road. Elizabeth … Continue reading Coast Highway 1 by Elizabeth C. Ward

Cosmic Coastal Chronicles :: M.L. Fischer

Atop a table within the Henry Miller Library in Big Sur I found Cosmic Coastal Chronicles written by M.L. Fischer. A man standing nearby, stepped closer to me, winked, and whispered, "I hear that if you buy one of this author's books, he will sign it for you." I flipped open to page 1 and read, "My … Continue reading Cosmic Coastal Chronicles :: M.L. Fischer

I’m just finishing Cosmic Coastal Chronicles and it has been an enjoyable read. I’ve been transported to the passenger seat of that little Toyota pick-up and have traveled the Pacific Coast with Meade and been thrilled with the tour he’s given. I hope he writes more books about his adventures and his philosophy (with which I agree wholeheartedly).

BTW: I picked up the book at The Works in Pacific Grove, which is definitely worth the stop. You can browse great books by local authors while sipping a big mug of fresh coffee from the funky coffee/tea shop that’s attached.

Totally enjoyed this post. I knew Robot well for years. He liked to hang at Fuller’s for quite a while, and when my RV broke down there one time, Robot kept an eye on me. I felt much safer knowing he was around. If Meade only lent Robot 5 or 10 dollars, he got off easy. I usually lent him $20 – he always paid it back, except the last time. Robot was an original. I’ll have to pick up Meade’s book the next time I go north.

BTW: I know a fellow who is writting a script with the North Coast of Santa Cruz the local. I think he does mention the Coast Road once or twice. Sempre Avanti Ivn0

What a wonderful, generous and kind post. There are tears in my eyes as I write this. If I had four more people like you in my life, I’d be richer than Bill Gates.
