    2012 Great Los Angeles Walk

    • Ocean View Overlooking PCH. We took a group photo and then headed up to Wokano for our 'after party' where I had fun pigging out.
    • Made It! Here's me at the ocean! I didn't have any photos for the last 4 miles, mostly because I ended up chatting with other walkers for the last stretch. It was funny that I got separated for at least half the walk, but then we all kind of came back together towards the end.
    • Freeway Overpass #4 And finally, we pass under the 405. Not a great photo, but I made sure to include one from each time we went under a freeway. It wouldn't be the Great Los Angeles Walk without it, imho.
    • Last Year's Bench This bench was where my wife and I caught the bus home last year, as I could barely walk at this point. I got great satisfaction walking by it, knowing that I would make it all the way to the ocean this year.
    • Empty Car Wash No one was working or getting their car wash due to the rain.
    • Mormon Temple The tower at the mormon temple, with lots of ominous clouds.
    • Vacancy! Many miles after my last photo, I took a shot of this sign on the Little Inn.
    • Fountain The Electric Fountain at the intersection of Wilshire and Santa Monica, which marks the end of the fancy Beverly Hills section. Also, at this point it started pouring rain for quite a while. I kept walking, though, and made it all the way to the Westfield Century City mall before seeking shelter. Of course it stopped raining just a few minutes after that.
    • Root Clump Things Near the giant Beverly Hills sign is an enormous fig tree with these crazy root clumps growing down from the branches. I think that's what was going on, anyways.
    • Photo Op If I'm taking photos of tourists, what does that make me?
    • Beverly Hills City Hall Would you expect anything less opulent?
    • Rose 2 Another rose in "Betty's Garden" along the Beverly Gardens Park.
    • Rose 1 A rose in "Betty's Garden" along the Beverly Gardens Park.
    • Fountain Man This fellow does not look thrilled to be holding up the fountain. There were four of him, though, so at least he had help.
    • Eat? Red berry things are good for you.
    • Maple Leaf There's generally not a lot of fall color around Los Angeles, but you find it here and there!
    • Pink Flower A silk floss tree flower on a wet metal grate near the fountain.
    • Welcome to Beverly Hills Here's a nice milestone - reaching Beverly Hills where we get to walk for several miles on a dirt path instead of concrete sidewalks. I took my sack lunch from ink.sack and ate it under a tree near this fountain. It was the first time I had really sat down, so it was really nice.
    • Pacific Design Center A small part of the amazingly colorful Pacific Design Center. I've always found it disappointing, though, because it seems like it should be a school or museum or something, but it's just a bunch of showrooms. So I'm told.
    • Mel & Rose Chef Person Our 3rd and final planned stop was at ink.sack for lunch but they didn't have a bathroom, which I needed. I walked a few doors down to Mel & Rose, which sells lots of booze and has this guy out front. I bought a Red Bull in exchange for toilet privileges. It came in handy later on.
