March 24, 2014 Malibu, California

We left Castaic and made the short drive to Malibu which included passing the famous Mulholland Drive.

Pepperdine University is located near our campground.

We settled in at the Malibu Beach RV Park high on a hill with views of the Pacific Ocean on 3 sides.

Bill had to spend a little time finishing up the taxes, but we still managed to find plenty of time to explore the area.  We quickly fell in love with Malibu which is somewhat isolated meaning no Walmarts, box stores or name brand restaurants.  Instead you have gorgeous views and the sound of the ocean.  One day we drove a short way north on Pacific Coast Highway to Westward Beach.  It was in the cove of this beach that the final scene of the first “Planet of the Apes” movie was filmed, where Charlton Heston saw the Statue of Liberty.
