There is a bus that goes up Pacific Coast Hwy, but nothing that goes into the hills (and those roads don't have sidewalks, so walking from PCH to hiking areas doesn't seem likely). <br /><br />I did remember there is also Griffith Park, which is in the Santa Monica Mtns, too, but to the east. I know that is accesible by bus because that's Travishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15240435560144012007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11094706.post-88839995676412415052010-05-03T18:51:48.558+10:002010-05-03T18:51:48.558+10:00* Synecdoche, sorry!

Sizeoftheocean, thanks for the compliment – it means a lot, as I’ve been trying to find a way to discuss this combination of bodily experience (phenomenology?), feeling (affect?) and critical thought (theory?) without being too heavy duty, but also without being too nixwilliamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01440110398186134460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11094706.post-1282203683815775412010-04-29T21:45:15.141+10:002010-04-29T21:45:15.141+10:00I love this post.

It's a welcome rest from all the hard theory and political blogs I mostly read.<br /><br />I've been thinking about walking a lot more since talking to you about it. Not walking like you do, but just getting around.

I love Santa Monica (Los Angeles in general, but of course especially my city) and that didn't change when I had a car, but one thing I noticed as soon as I started walking more (even before we went totally car-free) is that I felt so much <iTravishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15240435560144012007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11094706.post-75048608824955006632010-04-28T07:44:11.492+10:002010-04-28T07:44:11.492+10:00@dB - just ONE occasional horse, seen surprisingly...@dB - just ONE occasional horse, seen surprisingly many times!<br /><br />@Travis - yeah, there are a lot of really nice walking places just outside of Melbourne, which can only really be reached by car (PT will get you there, but you'd mostly want to be staying overnight to get a decent amount of walking done).

Past the north end of Santa Monica are mountains and canyons (Topanga, Malibu, Pacific Palisades, etc) but it's a bit too far to walk there and then continue on (especially for Carla). It's more the kind of place you have to drive to and then walk. :-/Travishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15240435560144012007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11094706.post-19470463984846181682010-04-27T20:14:04.350+10:002010-04-27T20:14:04.350+10:00"we caught the surprising sight of an occasio...<i>"we caught the surprising sight of an occasional horse in the paddocks beside the trail"</i><br /><br />Oh, those occasional horses - they are so surprising!thebooklenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10134503683439760550noreply@blogger.com
