    Really enjoy these videos, Bethany and Drew, but would enjoy them even more if they were longer and more frequent. Although you weren't specific about it, the impression given is that a wildfire created these ruins, as opposed to individual fires at different times.

    I like when you said at the end that if you visit this place to keep it cleaner than you found it. I constantly find trash on hiking trails and I pack it out with me. It’s so very uncool for people to leave their trash behind.

    Hi, My company had a construction yard in Solstice Cyn. From 1975 to around 1990. I built the Castle in 1977 that sat above the Malibu Civic Center before the fire took it down.
    I knew Jim Roberts and his beautiful wife, they invited me to go out on their yacht but I didn't go because I didn't know them that good and figured it was probably the booz talking if you know what I mean. I forgot the name of his wife but she used to double for Marilyn Monroe and looked exactly like her. Jim is the son of Fred Roberts the original owner. Jim Roberts rented out the property to me (about two acres of the prime flat area with the creek running along side of it.) Back then there was about 30 head of cattle that used to hang out where my yard was. I knew the Fred Roberts grand daughters a little bit, they were Jim's nieces. They use to hang out at the property, either they told me or Jim told me many interesting stories of exotic animals and old time movie stars like Abbott & Costello that hung out on the property. There has been a couple of fires that came through Solstice Canyon while I was there, one burned down the original barn of Fred Roberts and burned a section of the original house. Jim showed me pictures of a party they had at the house, pool area and the out door kitchen ( by the huge granite boulders) in the heyday with a bunch of well known movie people. The last Malibu fire I barely got my equipment out when I moved out. I then moved my yard by the restaurant's property at PCH, just East Corral Cyn.

    Ohhhh I was expecting something different with regards to “ruins”..... but ohh well, good to see a glimpse of the ocean... and as always thank you
    Years ago when I lived in Pasadena I used to galavant endlessly looking at building structures .. Paul Williams designed a house that is mistakenly called the Batman house, you can see the back of it from the Colorado Bridge.... perhaps you’ve covered it already.... I’m not suggesting you do just mentioning it ...
    What would really be interesting is if you could highlight the areas in Southern California that were called the “ black beaches “ that were created during the days of segregation because black folks couldn’t go to the beaches white folks went to, CA was just as racist as the Southern states... I will find the link to the history of the segregated beaches in CA.... I no longer live in CA but would like to see those areas... again thanks to both of you....
