Hiking Among the Stars

Due to unexpected travel, I recently bowed out of the much anticipated backpacking attack on the Buffalo River Trail in the Arkansas Ozarks. So, when Chris suggested a hike this weekend in California, I jumped at the chance.

The location was Malibu Canyon State Park. As you look at these pictures, remember that millions of people are located within a 10-mile radius, and the ocean is a couple of miles away.

This shot gives you an idea of the general terrain:


The park features the site for the outdoor shots for the M*A*S*H TV show. It seemed strangely familiar (the white string to the right marks the site of the "swamp", Hawkeye's tent):


There were plenty of swimming holes along the way:


The weather was terrific and it was a satisfying hike, particularly considering the post-hike meal of tacos along the Pacific Coast Highway!

Looks like a good hike. The MASH movie remains one of my all-time favs.
