Malibu Mist

In California in the early Spring
there are pale yellow mornings
when the mist burns slowly into day.
The air stings like autumn,
clarifies like pain.
Well I have dreamed this coast myself.
[Robert Hass]

and Bruce aren't the only ones to have run the Malibu trails recently. And by "trails," I mean "rabbit tracks through overgrown meadows." I love it.

[Side note: I think our pictures are from the same trail! Ray Miller y/n?]


THIS was the stunning ocean view I was promised. 2000 feet of climb for crashing waves! Sweeping vistas! Typical coastal fog!


Do you see the ocean? Me, I do not see the ocean.


I did see some fun Seussian plants, though. Oh Malibu, you so crazy.

no pictures from me either, but i have seen the view. (you'll just have to try again.)

Love the trail, would love to love the view but have yet to be given the chance. I would go every week if I didn't feel guilty about driving so far just for a training run. The pics were taken during a fun run, not a race. I'm not a contender but am still competitive enough not to stop for snapshots!
