I have too!

We all have. There's nothing like being able to see the actual places that we discuss.

#4 is Jay Sebring's house?

Jay? Sebring? I wasn't aware he spent time with Manson and Sandy.

@ Carol & Tone:

Jay was Paul's friend that lived below the Summit Trail house on Highvale.

Here is a reference to Jay in Paul's book

One of the chapters describes walking to Jay's house. He describes his walk there and it pretty much describes that this is the right house.

On Eviliz Tour 2013 we may check this out further. These minor details collectively create a complete picture of what and how things were for the family.

When I went up there we drove up too far and had trouble turning around. A guy came out and knew exactly what we were up to... The Summit Trail area is a great area. You'd never know you were in LA, looks a lot like the mountain area of New York or PA.

Thanks, Matt.

Holy Fuck!
I ACTUALLY LIVE IN THE LITTLE YELLOW HOUSE AT THE END OF WEST SUMMIT TRAIL! MY HUSBAND AND I JUST MOVED IN A MONTH AGO.
THERE ARE THREE RESIDENCES ON THE PROPERTY. THE MAIN HOUSE, THIS LITTLE HOUSE AND A TRAILER.

I KNOW FOR SURE THE TRAILER WASN'T HERE BACK IN THE 1960s,BUT DO YOU KNOW IF THE MAIN HOUSE AND THE LITTLE ONE I LIVE IN WERE ON THE PROPERTY BACK THEN?!
