Nightfall: Chapter 3

⛧☾༺♰༻☽⛧

As you step off the bus and turn to watch it leave, you swear for a moment, a person stood across the road, until the bus rumbled off and revealed no one to be there. You shook it off and looked down at the address on the scrap paper Vickey gave you. Vickey of course was the hook up for most musicians in the greater LA area. As eager as you were, you didn't realize that the LA Guns address was atop Mt. San Antonio, the mountain directly north of LA. You thought she meant north like maybe Santa Clarita or Santa Barbara. You now found yourself at the last bus stop on the mountain, as far up as the buses go anyways. Which wasn't enough, seeing as how you still stood at the end of a very long and winding drive way. The house peeked only slightly through the woods at the top. Great, a fucking hike? You huffed and began the small trek. The path was hardly a driveway, rather a rocky imprint on the forest floor, leading upwards through the trees. It was almost pitch dark under the trees, a low fog rolled on the ground, and the temperature seemed to drop 20 degrees or more, abandoning the summer weather outside.

With the bus now gone, the mountain fell silent. The cooler air sat between the thick trees, only the small chirps of birds echoing throughout. You loved birds, the way their voices gently caressed your ears, their vocals so naturally in tune from birth. You hummed along with them as you hiked into the darkness, until it occurred to you that all the birds had ceased chirping, or any noise for that matter. Once a warm song, guiding you through the forest, suddenly halted. The stillness of it all caused you to pause. "That's weird." You mumbled to yourself, you turn around to face the already hiked trail, examining for any sign of life now. The sudden stillness made you uneasy. The fact that you were alone- made you uneasy. Suddenly the snap of a branch in the far distance alerts you and you snap your neck towards the noise. Making you question if you were really alone. The silence suddenly pierced with the roar of a thousand wings. All the birds tucked within the trees, all flew up and out all at once. The sky darkened even further slightly under the brief canopy of wings fluttering, creating an overwhelming sea of birds, their songs, now echoed out waves of rushed 'caws'. And then at once, the stillness returned. You stood in the shadows, bewildered for a moment, staring through the empty trees. With your heart rate thumping, You begin second guessing your venture as you turn back towards the house, only to be faced with a man directly in front of you. You jump slightly, alarmed at his sudden presence. He himself had made no sound in his approach to you, as if he just- appeared there. His hands behind his back, a gruff, rock type man with shaggy black hair. "You must be Y/N" he smiled a very- wide and overwhelming smile and seemingly paid no attention to the ocean of birds that had just swarmed out of the woods. This must be the musician. "Oh- god- yes sorry hello!" You putter and brush your hair behind your ear. "Tracii Guns, La Guns." He greets. "Oh yes, great!" He reached out his hand, offering a gentlemanly stability for you to hike upwards. "Thanks." You said. His demeanor was oddly formal for a rock musician. He escorted you up to a large old cabin atop the mountain, hidden within the shadows of the mountain. The wood planks were withered with black paint and dirt, and cracked roof tiles littered the ground below. The property was picturesque, but clearly dated and run down.

The front door opened up to a condensed,dark living space. The cabin was a mesh with all dark velvet furniture and deep red drapes. It was lit by only one overhead dim chandelier and many candles. It was even colder inside. Goosebumps ran through your skin. Was this the best idea...? Tracii seemed overly cordial. "Come, sit." He ushered you to a shady conversation pit in the center of the room. You stiffen up and buckle down, putting a brave face on. No time to get distracted now. Your career and your rent relies on this being a good story and a good interview, you were already here, already deep in this, there really was no turning back. Additional scruffy black haired band members filed into the pit, and decorated themselves on the furniture. "Who do we have the pleasure of hosting?" One of them purred as he eyed you intently. Again- with the eyes. What was it with these rockers and the staring like they've never seen a girl in their lives? "Kelly, this is Y/N, Y/N, this is Kelly." Kelly swooped up next to you swiftly and took you hand upon his lips delicately, issuing a soft kiss. His eyes give a brief flicker of bright gold, causing you to blink in confusion. You blushed at his formal touch.

-

"LA Guns. With a name so ingrained with LA, why do you hide up here?" You question. Tracii's expression fades into a stone faced blanket. His voice deepens slightly as he exchanges low glances with Kelly and the others. He gives a labored, fake chuckle and adjusts his position. "Well, that's a good question. Naturally it would make sense to ask such a thing." He began.

"We originated within Los Angeles. In fact, we were there prior to ANY other rock band. It really used to be our stomping grounds..." Tracii gives a slight nostalgic laugh as he reminisces. He loses himself in memory "It was different then. You could really do whatever you wanted then. And when those damn bible thumpers came round, you could get rid of them so easily, and no one would notice." He paused.  "But uh- the scene...it became very....." he trailed to find the right words

"Crowded." Kelly answered, cutting tracii off. Tracii nodded in agreement. "Yes- crowded. Very crowded." Tracii seemed to become alert again. "Made it difficult to focus on our..music." He said. "But we love visitors! We were so thrilled when Vickey mentioned your interest in interviewing.." Kelly leaned back next to you and threw his arm behind you. As Tracii spoke, you examined him closely. You couldn't help but notice the smooth porcelain skin he had. He was a beautiful man, in fact they all were, striking, for male rockstars. It reminded you of Guns N' Roses now. They too had held an ethereal sort of beauty about them, even more so. Your mind wandered to visions of Axls smooth red hair, Izzy's cool demeanor, Steven's bright, dreamy eyes, Duffs wicked and devious grin, and slash- slashes deep gaze. The way his eyes darkened as he looked at you. The way his lips parted slightly as if he wanted to speak to you. The firm line of his jaw and the tan smoothness of his own skin. The mess of deep black soft curls that framed his face perfectly. He-

"-Nevermind Guns N' Roses. I never really cared for their music." Traciis voice interrupting your thoughts, snapping you back to reality. That's strange that he brought them up right as they crossed your mind. It was like he could read your thoughts. "-what?" You reply confused. Kelly shoots tracii and dark annoyed look. Tracii straightened his back. "Oh, nothing, just, on the subject of LA bands, you know...? You seem....familiar." He suggests, leaning inward. The discomfort of the situation becomes thicker.

Kelly felt closer on the couch than before. You steal an unintentional glance at the front door, to find another band member leaned up on the door frame, coolly smoking a cigarette as he watched the interview. You quickly jerk your head back to tracii, hoping he didn't notice your glance as rude. You ruminated on whether to leave early. The energy in the room seemed increasingly vacant and cold, you felt incredibly uncomfortable.

The interview was almost to a close anyways. And you had collected quite a bit of info. You put on a fake smile, to which tracii returns an equally fake one. "Well- I think that just about does it!" You start collecting your things hurriedly, when one last question burns so harshly at your tongue than it slips out before you can think about it. "What did you mean earlier when you said- they were easy to get "rid of"." The words are out and immediately you know that was not appropriate to ask. The guy perched at the door creaks forward on the floor board slightly. Tracii's fake grin drops and the room falls silent. You swallow nervously. Tracii comes to his feet and towers over you, as does Kelly from behind, closing you in. Your heart begins to pick back up again. "Oh you must have misheard me." He rejected. Clearly lying as you definitely heard him say that. "You certainly ask a lot of personal questions, don't you sweetheart?" Kelly whispered in your ear. Shivers run through your spine, and grapple to a tightness in your chest. "Tracii, don't you agree?" Kelly threw a darkened look to him. Tracii eyed you curiously. "...yes, I would have to agree. Y/N, sweetheart, do you mind if I just take a look at your notes there?" Tracii says pulling at your notebook. Whatever notes you had written, it appeared that tracii no longer approved of the information you received. Instinctually you grip your notebook firmer, rejecting his grasp for it. He didn't like this and gave you an entirely false and stern grin. A smile that showed no kindness. He was upset, you could tell. A pool of anxiety welled in your stomach as your heart raced. "I've got to get going." You state, backing away. You glance at the front door again, which now sported two additional men, blocking it casually. Kelly grips your arm firmly, and closes in on you. "Hey-" you mutter out nervously. "Shhhhh....doll." Tracii coos to you. Within the soft hush he lets out, you see his canine teeth lengthening to two long sharp fangs. He grins deviously as he closing in on you. You can't speak. "You're such a good interviewer doll....you just got me talking so much...and well....Im afraid I can't let you leave." He purrs lowly. Your entire body feels seized with fear. Your thoughts become scattered and disoriented. "Hey man, take the notebook. Take whatever you want please -" tears well in your eyes. "Please just let me go home. You can have my notebook." You cry, nervously. Tracii and Kelly both laugh at you. "Oh sweetheart...it's not the notebook we want." The both of them, now sported long sharp fangs. Their pupils glow an eerie gold shimmer. Their faces soured into pure expressions of depravity and evil. This situation was bad. You tremble. "Please!" You began to sob out nervously.

A loud crash of glass echoes from the top floor, breaking everyone's focus. Tracii shoots a look to one of the other members. "Go." He commands. And they race upstairs. With the door uncovered, it suddenly crashes to the floor off its hinges. In the doorway stood Axl and Duff. You all stood stunned as it all unfolded within seconds. They ready to pounce forward on tracii and Kelly. "Don't! They're not huma-!" You begin to warn them and in that same instance, you witness both Axl and duff grow similar long sharpened fangs and release deafening, intimidating growl. Kelly's grip on you loosens as he becomes distracted. "Let her go, and we won't tear you to fucking shreds." Axl threatens. Tracii seemingly understands the severity of his threat and pushes you forward, duff draws you into his grasp and behind him. "Y/N, slash is waiting for you outside, GO!" He demands. You struggle to move your feet in shock. "GO!" He reiterates louder, shocking you to life again. You flee through the front door as you hear loud crashes commence inside. You find slash on his motorcycle parked out at the bottom of the path. You run to him. He turns to you. As you draw closer you see his eyes a flushed deep red. But the hallucination doesn't disappear this time. "I told you not to fucking go." He growled. You jumped on the back and wrapped yourself around him. He ripped the bike awake and tore through the mountain. The trees passing, blurring. Your mind spun with fear and confusion, to the extent that when your grip begins to slip, slash has to forcefully grip your hands with one of his as he drives one handed. You rest your head on his back and the world fades out.

Santa Barbara and Santa Monica

After leaving Pismo, we headed to Solvang a beautiful Dutch village, just 45 minutes from Santa Barbara. It was founded by Danish immigrants back in 1911. It has wonderful architecture, an actual windmill - of course - and great coffee shops. We arrived mid morning in time to sample their cakes and coffee - our ritual!

Our next stop was Santa Barbara. This turned out to be one of our favourite places on our journey. It is a beautiful beach front city with mountains as the backdrop and a collection of Mediterranean style white buildings with red roof tiles. There are plenty of great restaurants, boutiques and activities to entertain. A beautiful main street stretches down to the beach front with it's old wooden pier and walking path.

We took time to explore the old Courthouse which gave us a great view over the city and provided some relief from the hot weather. Then it was time for lunch in an alley cafe off the main street. We strolled down to the beach after lunch to enjoy the short pier walk and a very welcome ice cream. With weary legs, it was a real treat to find that we could board the free tram back to our car park. It was a short visit to this beautiful city, but such a lovely experience.

Once back in our car, we made our way to Santa Monica to complete our 450 mile scenic trip. This was our final destination and our drop off point for our hire car. The route there was along the coast, passing Malibu beach and various other small beaches. As we approached Santa Monica, the traffic increased and a sense of chaos definitely crept in. Fortunately our Airbnb was located in a fairly quiet residential area which we were grateful for. We unloaded our bags and then headed straight out to drop the rental car off - just a ten minute drive away.

We were fortunate to have a couple of restaurants just round the corner and so dinner was at a local pizza place. As expected, it was not cheap, but it was good!

Our first full day was spent on a bike tour of Los Angeles. It was fantastic! We joined a small group with an entertaining guide who was great at informing and humouring us at the same time.

We visited Beverley Hills - passing by various celebrities houses including the property where Michael Jackson sadly passed. This was an absolutely beautiful neighbourhood as to be expected. Manicured gardens, immaculate streets and palace style homes behind secure fencing and camouflaged with hedging and trees. We also had a quick stop at Belair neighbourhood.

We cycled to Venice Beach for dinner and sat near the beach watching the multitude of cyclists, skaters, walkers and other entertaining folk pass by on the boardwalk which stretches for miles along the beach.

A short way behind the beach, we were surprised to find the beautiful canals after which the area is named. A collection of quiet, still canals built in 1905 and lined with small properties adds a real beauty to this area. It was a complete contrast to the busy beach front.

Our last day was spent hiking to see the Hollywood sign and visiting the Griffith Observatory. We caught an Uber as the public transport was going to take an hour and a half. On arrival, we first ate lunch in the Observatory cafe. It was. a lot busier in the area than I expected.

The Observatory is situated on the south facing slope of Mount Hollywood and is a popular film location. We didn't spend much time in the observatory as our main objective was to complete a hike and see the sign.

The Hollywood sign was erected in 1923 as an advertisement ploy, but due to its popularity, it was decided to leave it there. It was replaced in 1978 with a steel structure to increase it's durability.

It was great hike and fantastic to see this area of Los Angeles. Despite the scorching hot weather and getting slightly lost, we really enjoyed the day and the opportunity to see this beautiful part of LOs Angeles.

In the evening, we got bus to downtown Santa Monica to stroll around and have dinner. We arrived around 6pm and were totally shocked by how busy the pier and the beach were. Santa Monica pier is a popular tourist attraction and they were definitely out in force. It wasn't the prettiest of sites and we didn't stay long. Crowds are not our scene and this area was not the Santa Monica I envisioned.

The pier is pretty iconic and I'm glad we actually visited. It was definitely a contrast to the hiking area earlier in the day. It was pleasant to just walk a little further along the coast for an evening stroll before heading back for the night.

And so our trip came to an end. A super journey along a beautiful coastline from San Francisco to Los Angeles, via a stunning National Park, with interesting and varied stops along the way. Great sights and fun experiences mixed with lots of singing in the car, interesting food stops, cool Airbnb's and a great travelling companion - all in all a very memorable trip.

Day 36 - Cachuma Lake Campground to Carpinteria State Beach

I wasn't a big fan of the campground last night. The hiker/biker site had no level ground with tons of holes in the dirt presumably dug by animals. A number of downed tree branches left me wondering when the last time anyone did any sort of maintenance on the site. No food lockers either meaning I had to hang my food from a tree in hopes raccoons or other critters wouldn't get at it. But all good in the morning, and I got cycling shortly before 9am.

I was biking along Hwy 156 which I wouldn't recommend. The scenery itself was nice, but the road is very busy with fast moving traffic and the shoulder is next to nothing for maybe a 15km stretch near the lake. I'd say the least comfortable stretch of road for me.

The big redeeming factor was Stagecoach Rd which was the original throughway connecting Santa Barbara to Santa Ynez. It's since been replaced by Hwy 156, but remains in use for very little local traffic. It was basically deserted while I rode it, and was the route that I did today's big climb on. 

San Marco Pass at 2225ft has replaced Leggitt Hill as the highest point on my trip. The climb itself went fine, was nice to be cycling on such a quiet road. The downhill too was a ton of fun on North San Marco Rd. Lots of tight switchbacks, and a popular hill for local cyclists. As I was screaming down I passed maybe a dozen or so cyclists climbing the hill. I definitely looked out of place with my attire and loaded bike.

I then made my way into Santa Barbara. Previously when I thought of California it was beaches, bald mountains, tall palm trees, white buildings with red tile roofs, large boulevards, surfers, etc. Santa Barbara fits this to a tee. Really a beautiful city. I spent a couple hours touring around and grabbing some food before moving on. I could have easily spent a bunch more time checking it out.

Carpinteria is the destination tonight, the second last campground on my route that has hiker/biker sites. Clear skies and warm weather today continued into the evening for a beautiful sunset.

1. Craftsman (Arts & Crafts)–Gamble House, Pasadena

Originating in England, the Arts and Crafts movement emphasized a unity with nature and prized handmade details over the cheap mass production of the Industrial Revolution. Distinguishing traits of Craftsman bungalows include low- pitched rooflines, gabled or hipped roofs, overhanging eaves, shaded porches, extensive woodwork, double-hung windows, and Batchelder tile fireplaces.

2. French Normandy–Gloria Swanson Residence, Hollywood

Loosely based on the architecture of 16th-century French chateaux in the Loire Valley, the Chateauesque style became trés chic in Los Angeles during the 1920s thanks to its fantasy appeal, aristocratic associations, and last but not least, advances in veneer cladding techniques that approximated the look of expensive masonry construction. Identifying traits include steeply pitched hipped roof lines, spires, pinnacles, turrets, gables, shaped chimneys, dormers, and round or gothic archways.

3. Neoclassical Revival–Hancock Park

Neoclassical architecture is characterized by grandeur of scale, simplicity of geometric forms, Greek or Roman detail, dramatic use of columns, and a preference for blank walls. It is defined by a commanding facade with a full height porch, its roof supported by classical columns. The columns are often fluted and the capitals are usually ornate Ionic or Corinthian.

4. Beaux-Arts–Guasti Mansion, West Adams

Seen in Downtown LA’s temples of finance, commerce, and law, Beaux Arts is a classical style characterized by Greco-Roman elements: columns, arches, vaults, and domes. The buildings were constructed with high quality materials such as limestone, while their interiors were dressed to impress in marble, mahogany, alabaster, terrazzo, bronze, and brass. Exterior embellishments include bas-relief sculptures and glazed terra cotta tiles.

5. Art Deco–Lloyd Wright’s Samuel-Novarro House, The Oaks, Los Feliz

Art Deco reared its lovely head in Los Angeles following the 1925 Exposition des Arts Decoratifs in Paris. Constructed of smooth-finish building materials such as stucco, concrete block, and glazed brick, Deco buildings have a sleek, linear appearance. Other identifying characteristics include a setback facade, reeding or fluting around doors and windows, stepped-tray ceilings, and lavish ornamentation employing ziggerauts, chevrons, and other geometric forms, intense colors, and Egyptian, Native American, and other “exotic” motifs.

6. Romanesque–Stimson House, West Adams

Romanesque architecture is characterized by round arches over windows and/or entryways, with heavy emphasis around the arches; thick, cavernous entryways and window openings; thick masonry walls, rounded (sometimes square) towers with conical roof; facades are typically asymmetrical; variable stone and brick façade. On elaborate examples, polychromatic facades with contrasting building materials. The style emphasizes the Classical Roman arch as its dominant feature.

7. Spanish Colonial Revival–Adamson House, Malibu

Became Southern California’s pre-eminent architectural style in the wake of the Panama-California Exposition of 1915-1917. To house the San Diego exposition, architects Bertram Goodhue and Carleton Winslow designed a campus of buildings that blended elements of Mission Revival, Mexican, Spanish Baroque/Churrigueresque, and Islamic styles. This unique concoction was a resounding hit, and soon homes with low-pitched red tile roofs, courtyards, white stucco walls with rounded corners, painted tile, wrought-iron accents, and arched windows and doorways became a ubiquitous sight.

8. Tudor Revival–Hancock Park

Meant to evoke a quiet country lifestyle and the picturesque cottages of old England, the Tudor Revival style is typified by an asymmetrical design that features steeply pitched roofs with front-facing gables, leaded-glass windows (often diamond-paned), arched doorways and massive chimneys as well as stone, brick or stucco exteriors with half-timbers gracing the facade — a mere decoration recalling the structural timbers that held up such houses centuries earlier.

9. Monterey Colonial Revival–Casa del Herrero, Santa Barbara

Several variants of Spanish-style architecture make a contribution to the unique flavor of our local landscape, one of which is the Monterey Colonial Revival. It is a mixture of Mexican, New England Colonial, and Spanish styles, Monterey Revival homes are two stories, and feature second-floor verandas with wood railings, plaster or thick stucco walls, and louvered shutters (though these are often fixed).

Barichara

Barichara, is one of the prettiest colonial towns in the country, featuring cobbled streets, picturesque scenery, whitewashed buildings with red-tiled roofs, colorful shutters, and a laidback vibe. When comparing it to the states, it is equivalent to Santa Barbara CA minus the expensive prices and the ocean. The high desert landscape is similar but the ocean is relaxed by a deep canyon. There isn’t much to do in the town of Barichara except shop, eat, and wander the streets admiring the picturesque colonial style buildings. In 2010, in recognition of its history, architecture, and touristic potential, Barichara was declared a Colombian Pueblo Patrimonio or a heritage town. It is amongst only 11 municipalities nationwide that were selected to be part of the Red Turística de Pueblos Patrimonio original cohort.
