Walk With Me via the images, prose and information posted below…

LOUD CLOUDS

“Brrr it’s cold,” trembled through

My mind as I pressed my hands

Against the cold window glass

And peered up at the sunless sky

Splattered in shades of undulating

Gray, then I turned away to let my

Fingers twist the thermostat, demanding

Heat, while I sipped on hot lemon water

And waited for warmth to permeate each

Room before I disrobed and showered in

Preparation for a scenic trek through

Temescal Gateway Park.

Walk With Me: Park Etiquette 101

People and leashed dogs are allowed on the mountain trails but remember not to litter, not to smoke, and please-please scoop up your critter’s poop. Allow everyone to enjoy their adventures untainted by disrespectful homo sapiens.

Bulldozers Beware

Warning; power troopers and muscled runners do not have the right away on mountain trails and bad behavior might tempt a serene walker to stick out their foot or walking cane to trip you up for the pleasure of watching you tumble and fall because you’ve jabbed their shoulder blades and rib cages with your elbows exerting malicious intent to shove them aside into thorny thickets and shrubs. ‘Walk With Me’ park etiquette applies to one and all in order to reduce cliff edge accidents and hillside stress.

Temescal Gateway Park

Located in Pacific Palisades, California, just north of Sunset Boulevard, Temescal Gateway Park is 141 acres of scenic sites that include oaks; sycamores; a creek and waterfall…when there’s no drought; ridge-top views and miles of trails that connect to Topanga State Park and Will Rogers State Historic Park.
