Anywhere Wild!
Fort Hunter Liggett

Our first Anywhere Wild! adventure took place in the Los Padres National Forest, May 3-6, 2006. We traveled through Fort Hunter Liggett, once the vast estate of William Randolph Hearst to our campsite in the oak woodland beneath towering rock formations. Wildlife abounds in this hidden, unchanged part of Old California and we had exciting encounters with a mountain lion and a bobcat. Some of us camped, others enjoyed staying at the historic Hacienda, which was Hearst’s hunting lodge. A side-trip was taken to the historic San Antonio de Padua Mission located a short distance from the lodge.
