Stairhike: Return to Blue Heaven #2 - 4.5 mi, 2.5 hours

Take a ramble beneath Heavenly Blue skies near the Hollywood Bowl on this annual hike, much like we hope the Dodgers repeat annually. We'll compare & contrast the two most recent championship teams. Also, in Game 3 of the World Series Tommy Edman made a crucial error during the game that shifted the momentum in the game, which was previously controlled by the Dodgers as the misplay allowed Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to advance and ultimately set up a three-run homer for Alejandro Kirk, after which Toronto surged ahead 3-2. Did Tommy Tanks do anything to make up for the error later during game 3? Who won game 3 and how many innings was game 3? We can digest all this as we see the festive lights in old Hollywood, including the site of Rudolph Valentinos house and the stair streets where gumshoes Philip Marlowe and Harry Bosch worked their cases. Work off those holiday calories and prepare for winter adventures by carrying a heavy pack like Saint Nicholas. Meet in front of Wingstop on Highland & Franklin (1900 Highland Ave, LA 90068). Street parking is limited so arrive early. Hint: try a parking lot to the north. Bring water, adventurous spirit, strong legs, a sharp eye and a love of stair hikes. Flashlight suggested. No restrooms.
