Remarkable Hearst Castle

William Randal Hearst writing to his mother Phoebe in 1917:
I love the sea and I love the mountains and the hollows in the hills and the shady places in the creeks and the fine old oaks and even the hot brushy hillsides - full of quail - and the canyons full of deer. Its a wonderful place. I would rather spend a month here than any other place in the world.

I agree with his sentiment, the setting of Hearst Castle is breath taking.

A fascinating slice of Americana history.
