An Appellation Like No Other

September 2, 2022 by Michael Chatfield

The provenance of the name "Cachagua" (pronounced Ka SHOU wa) is lost to the sands of time. "However," according to the Monterey Peninsula Regional Park District, "its use goes back to the 1850s with the spelling ‘Jassagua,' which likely has native Esselen or Spanish influences." Today, the region is known as a tightly knit and somewhat insular community. It's also the nexus of … [Read more...] about An Appellation Like No Other

While heading south on Highway 1 toward Big Sur, the iconic road sweeps past a vast expanse of fallow land straddling Highway 1 just beyond the Carmel River. To the east, contented black cows graze the grasses under the gaze of the Santa Lucia foothills. A handful of small, bright red cabins stand sentinel on the southern edge; a strange, flat truck-like vehicle sits idly … [Read more...] about Artichokes by the Ocean
