OK, here is the deal: Back in May 2011 a small group of us explored some old roads deep in the heart of Corral Canyon. I returned alone in 2013 and did some more reconnaissance. Its going to take the HWD VIPs to finish the job and create a new Malibu hike.

I am unable to locate my 2013 pics but here are some 2011 scenes. I don't expect any water in the creek this time

Here is a segment of an old road, now our overgrown trail

We came across the foundation and remnants of an old home. Perhaps a victim of the 1956 or 1978 fire?

Another old road-now-trail segment paralleling the creek. Notice we were all wearing long pants but I don't think it was really necessary. We will have to do some meandering to finish the final segment of this hike and a little minor bushwhacking may be involved.

I estimate the hike to be about 5 miles (plus extravagating) with 1500' total ascent. Some street walking will be required. Expect the unexpected.

After the hike we'll have lunch at Malibu Seafood Patio. Maybe we'll spot some dolphins frolicking in the waves, or some celebrities.

Since this is a VIP hike, I will be supplying the wine and/or beer. We'll also have a drawing for some cool prizes including the famous Pocket Chair and a pair of trekking poles. Don't forget to pick up some VIP SWAG at my car
