FROM THE BEACH TO THE BOONIES - Driving to Topanga 9/14/23 Real Time Meditation Exercise ASMR

The other day a rock slide occurred on Topanga Canyon Road, closing the southern entrance and exit to the somewhat "rural" village of Topanga Canyon, known as one of the last outposts of the classic Southern California bohemian hippie lifestyle.

Topanga is the name given to the area by the Native American indigenous Tongva tribe, and may mean "where the mountain meets the sea" or "a place above." As of this writing, the road is still closed and the promise of another storm this weekend may lead to its remaining closed for a while longer. This video travels South Topanga Canyon Road northbound from Pacific Coast Highway at the beach to the heart of the village where it meets Old Topanga Road. Recorded on 9/14/23, the day was warm and the road was clear.
