Geocache Description:

The Esalen Institute in Big Sur is a unique opportunity to be at one with nature, yourself and open your mind to new possibilities. A place dedicated to higher learning and alternative thinking, the likes of Aldus Huxley, Abraham Maslow, Alan Watts, Ida Rolf and even Hunter S. Thompson have all busked and bathed at this unique institution.

🙌 ~The C/O has had the unique opportunity to both attend and participate in transformative methodologies within these walls...🕉


👻~To receive credit for this unique and unexpected Virtual, please ANSWER THE FIRST THREE QUESTIONS:

1.) What is the number of the highway marker in the parking area just South of the provided coords? (It is touching the huge boulder!)

2.) What material was used to construct the large upright(s) of the sign as you enter the driveway?

3.) Walk down the driveway far enough to make out what the posted sign (by the guard shack) tells you what to do, and convey that to me also .

🕉~BONUS QUESTIONS: These are not REQUIRED, but for the bolder individuals, I encourage you to pursue them! ~Bonus Q1: What was the name of the attendant on duty at the guard shack at your visit? BIG BONUS Q#2 (and the only way to know, is to drive down, pay the $40.00 Visitor's Fee and take it all in.) ~At the bath-house down by the bay, as you enter the shower area, there are 2 signs; each with one word etched in, (pointing left and right), -what are those 2 words? (Please no photography! Lol...) You will be entitled to free food and drink as long as you are on the property, and it is EPIC!👻
