Rikki at Hearst Castle
La Cuesta Encantada was William Randolph Hearst's romantic name for his palatial estate on a rocky knoll of the Santa Lucia Mountains. Five miles inland and 1,600 feet above San Simeon Bay, the Enchanted Hill's 127 acres of gardens, terraces, pools and guest houses provide a dramatic setting for the magnificent137-foot-high Mediterranean Revival mansion called Casa Grande.
Having not had anyone swim in either the indoor pool or the Neptune Pool for many, many years. Around the year 2000 the California State Park System, which overseas the Castle, made a decision allowing people who worked there and their immediate families to swim in the beautiful Neptune Pool. Rikki is one of those lucky people and wore her Hippie Skivvies top as a cover-up. A photo op like this doesn't happen often, so we're super glad she thought of snapping the picture!
