SoCal Outdoor Explorer

SoCal Outdoor Explorer I like to combine hiking with a little bit of history.

I'm especially interested in SoCal waterfalls, Native American sites, historical ruins/relics, peaks, mines, caves, all things abandoned, fire lookouts, & California historic landmarks and monuments.

Somewhere behind Pyramid Lake Dam near Piru… there’s a mountain with a door. Why would anyone lock it from the outside? 🗝️👀

In 1966, artist Lynne Seemayer secretly scaled the cliffside above Malibu Canyon at night, dangling from a rope to paint a 39-foot n**e figure she called “The Pink Lady.”

The mural appeared overnight on the concrete wall above the tunnel, shocking morning commuters and sparking both outrage and fascination. Some called it obscene; others called it brilliant. Within days, Los Angeles County officials blasted it off with high-pressure hoses — but not before it became a local legend.

Though the painting was gone, the story lived on — a tale of daring, art, and rebellion that still echoes through Malibu Canyon today.

Ever come across this funky little building in East L.A.? 🤔 Back in the day, they used to design restaurants to look like the food they sold 🌮🍔. This one’s still standing… but serving up something completely different now 👀.
