Eviliz Tour 2012 - Day 5
DAY 5
A Little bit of lower Topanga
The Malibu Feed Bin at the base of Topanga Canyon
Liz, Patty & I briefly ventured into the Snake Pit.
It was creepy. First a pentagram drawn into the sand and some menacing parrots.
We got the hell out of there.
Spahn Ranch
A few shots of where the actual ranch buildings were:
The Cave at Spahn Ranch:
A lot of sediment has built up on the floor of the cave since this photo in 1970. There are 9 of them in there. I know I'm taller than most but I'm fairly agile. I couldn't fit in there. You can really see the difference by comparing then to now.
Matt, Patty & Liz at the cave
Our terrific tour guide, Summer.
Notice the aura?
Charlie's rock
His initials are still visible
Bruce's Car and the beautiful trail that leads to it
Bruces's car
The trail just before the descent to where the car is located
From there you can see downtown LA
Yes, that is a very large rattlesnake.
Summer & I startled it and a second later it curled-up & rattled like... well, a startled rattlesnake!
It made the hair on our necks stand up!
That made two rattlesnakes spotted in one day. Summer says she normally encounters one or two a year, so it is likely to be a big rattlesnake year. Watch where you step!
Fountain of the World
THE END OF EVILIZ TOUR 2012!!!

Oh Boy! Photoshop
By using Photoshop, we are able to create a panoramic view of the entire area called the Snake Pit and Topanga beach. This is a complete view of the area during the time that the family would have been frequenting it in late 68' or early 69'. The points of interest are numbered and listed accordingly to the attached key. Both images are relevant to the key. Typically, the points of interest in this area are posted individually. This makes it difficult to get a mental picture of what the area actually looked like and what was where. Now you can, thanks to Photoshop. If there is anything missing, let us know and we'll add it to the image appropriately. Hope you like it!

"The Cosmic Children"
"The Cosmic Children" is a movie that was filmed by the famous surf movie maker Hal Jepsen. This portion of the film shows life on Topanga Beach. This was released in 1970.
These are the actual people that the family would of been hanging out with when they were at Lower Topanga Canyon (aka The Snake Pit). This is probably a good representation of what life in the area would of been like and why it got the reputation that it did. It's easy to see what the attraction would of been for Charlie and the family members.
