Hearst's Hidden Oak Grove

Overlooking the Pacific Ocean on Hearst Castle property in San Simeon, California. If you squeeze through the barbed wire fence behind the cove and hike North toward the windswept groves of oak trees, you might be able to find this old swing. My guess it that it belonged to one of the kids of the ranchers that work this property, West of Highway One on a lonely, beautiful and windy stretch of coast.
