Howard's Decker Canyon Road Video, Southern California? Options

[abbott295]

I don't spend a lot of time here and didn't know if I had come across Howard before, but I was reading through all the messages of remembrance about him and someone had posted a link to the Decker Canyon Road video. I had seen that and commented on it at the time. I guess I knew Howard and will miss him not being around.

I will be in Southern California this week, arriving Wed. and leaving Sun. I (and my wife and 3 year old grandson) will be there because we have two sons in Drum and Bugle Corps Championships which will be happening in Pasadena at the Rose Bowl.

We won't be having a lot of spare time and don't know our way around and I hadn't even figured on asking about possibilties of what to do while out there, but the video makes me ask, "Would it be doable?' in honor of Howard.

Also have to get to a beach, Pacific ocean. But is that road anywhere close enough to LA/Pasdena to do in a short morning?

My wife and a brother-in-law saw the video and both thought it was in Guatemala. The landscape and road look like one we know there.

Thanks all.

From Pasadena head West on the 134 which turns into the 101....when you hit Westlake (about 50 miles) turn South on 23 (S Westlake Blvd) it turns into Decker Canyon which runs into Mulholland Hwy (where most of the services have taken place)........ Mulholland runs into a state beach on the PCH (Pacific Coast Highway) Stop, see the ocean (don't drink the water) then take the PCH South to Latigo Canyon Road then right on Kana Rd. back to Mulholland (turn right) and follow Mulholland to Valmar Rd. which takes you back to the 101

I went on the cruise a couple years ago when out there....well worth the drive..I just wish I was in a 914 instead of the POS convert I rented.

Just a thought...someone who lives closer might have a better route to plan out for you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
