This region was threatened last July by the Basin 
This region was threatened last July by the Basin Complex Fire near its Los Padres National Forest. It stretches north from San Carpoforo Creek in the shadow of the San Lucia Mountains along US Highway 1, which runs past its namesake hot springs where Hunter Thompson was once employed. Also home to Lawrence Ferlinghetti and Henry Miller, its northern boundary is Carmel River, which reaches the Pacific just south of Monterey. FTP, identify this coastal region of rugged, picturesque topography in central California, namesake of a novel by Jack Kerouac.
