Scott this was nice, I think that you should take all of your rides and make a dvd of them and sale them, so when people have had a bad day at work, they can put in the dvd and relax. I hope you were not impacked by the fires, and that's another reason to put your rides on dvd so people can always see how beautiful things were, I would be the first to buy. My God always bless you and your family.

Thanks for the video now I'll never drive the road

💜💜💜💜💜💋

Ah The Open Road How I Miss It I LOVED The Vid Great Music & Sites Of Course Made Me Feel Like I Was There Loved The History Notes Thank You

I was there in 1968-69. Loved it! Thanks for the ride. Takes me home again. Only good memories in Topanga.

I'm watching this in 2025 the day after David Lynch died. This place has just lost it's magic.

Does anyone know if the fires have reached it? Tom jones used to live there before he returned to UK?

this is sad now, a memory

Thanks for another great ride along. Don't know where you're at in Cali but I hope you and yours are safe. The fire has hurt a lot of people. Until next time.......

So many traffic lights

What a beautiful video. Thanks a lot.😊😊😊

Did this whole area burn down? I came from your other video after you tagged this one I my comment.

The place burnt down before I could even visit😢

Concrete Jungle.

Is this the same boulevard which is on fire

Excellent video, I loved all the information you provided, I found it so interesting. I was just looking to get an idea of this road and ended up getting soaked in by all of it. Great job!

You didnt highlight 2 of the most iconic places on that drive::::CHATEAU MARMONT. and THE RAINBOW BAR &GRILL

I lived in Cerritos in the 70s.The library was originally a single story small building, amazing what they've done to it.

Thanks for the video. It seems you know of a lot of cool music and artists I've never heard of. How did you discover them?

What an absolutely clear day. Being able to see The Tehachapi mountains in such detail is rare.

Great tour, thanks! Going to have to add this to my motorcycling list for 2025....

There is no Maricopa County California

Being able to see this all the time! Boy, you are lucky indeed!

My husband and I traveled to socal last June. We had the pleasure to take a ride on Topanga Canyon blvd to Red Rock Canyon. It was quite a ride, but we really enjoyed the scenery. I didn't know about the story behind Topanga. Thank you, Scott, for giving us such an insight 👌

Nice video except you are in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties, not Maricopa. That's in AZ.

Beautiful! I lived on Vandenburg AFB as a child in the 60s. We went to Lompoc often. Fond memories. I remember those wide-open drives in the area.

How will California protect itself from Trump? Is it all show by Newsom or can he really protect people from mass deportations, keep climate goals in place, etc etc. I am still shocked by the outcome of this election and really thought we were better than this. Amazing place you went to btw. Had the honor of going there once. Very susceptible to climate change.

Love this, someday I will get there. Thanks for the ride!

This was GREAT! Thank You for filming it. 😊

Beautiful! Enjoy your channel very much. Started with The Bristlecone Pine video. Got me hooked! Thank You for taking me places I've longed to see. 😊

great video and those were some good tunes too.

I delivered at the Aldi's in Lompoc was the scariest ride this route!! And all at night!! Reminded me kinda like Colorado

Yes indeed Scot-Laguna Beach is awesome but so is this video. GREAT drone footage too; fabulous. We have tons of great memories made in Laguna. Your camera work brings it all rushing back; thank you very much!

Great little highway. Took this route to get back to Vegas from Solvang, instead of heading south towards LA. Felt like stepping back in time along some stretches. I can see this highway has the potential to be dangerous with its single lane and limited vision around mountainous curves. Over taking has to be planned carefully as safe overtaking opportunities dissappear very quickly.

This was a avalanche of beautiful scenery coupled with music that was perfect. Many thanks to you for allowing me to live vicariously. Best wishes!

Thanks Scott. Have a good one!

Thanks for another great ride along. Always enjoy the scenery and the music. Helps take your mind off od all the crazy stuff in the news. Have a great day!

Always such a delight

Amazing scenery , really enjoyed this one.

Where is this?

I'd forgotten to thank you for making/posting the video, it truly captures everything I'd loved about driving Topanga (but was too rushed to stop and record myself) and I will be revisiting this video again in the future just as a reminder/homage to how much I'd loved my recent trip out to LA from New Jersey. Thank you.

I was out in LA visiting a friend (first time back in 32 years) two weeks ago and drove Topanga Canyon from Malibu to highway 101. One of the most AMAZING roads I've ever driven or ridden on! My friend lives right near the Mulholland Drive/Laurel Canyon Blvd areas and I'd used to think that those were the best. Topanga is WAY better. Coldwater Canyon is a close second though. 🙂

As always well done both photographically and musically. Brought back fond memories of living in Southern California. Thanks for the memories. Look forward to upcoming videos. Hope your week end is treating you well.

Porn Valley…

i have the 138 art work photo, lived up there, been driving 138 since 1968. lived in Palmdale

Hey thanks for this! Is this route a detour if you're driving down from LA or is this the original "Google Maps" way?

Lived 2013-2015 in LA and miss this drive home every day. Thanks.

I was out for a drive in the late '70s and stopped to get gas at station on corner of PCH. Had noticed a gal swerving in and out of traffic several cars behind me. She walked up to me in the station and said "my name's Mamu, I have a car just like that but mine's an Alpine. I live on Old Topanga near the corner. Want to come see my car?" Followed her up there, where she told me, "I live in that Tipi and my brother lives in the water tank". She said she was a Magic Mamu, and she could throw a mean Tarot and carried on without a comma that she was someone I should know. She had a snake for a pet, and an amulet and she was breeding a dwarf but she wasn't done yet. She had gray-green skin and a doll with a pin. I told her she was all right but I couldn't come in (I couldn't come in right then . . . ). And so she wandered trough the flap of fur just like a shadow from the tomb she said her stereo was four-way and I'd just love it in her cocoon. Well, I was born to have adventure so I just followed in her steps right past her fuming incense stencher to where she hung her castanets. She stripped away her rancid poncho and laid out naked by the door. We, um, smoked till we were un-concho and were useless any more. Modified lyrics of Frank Zappa's Camarillo Brillo. Can't help but think of these things whenever I go up Topanga. 7:49 LOL

Hello! My name is Jeremiah, we have a program that is dedicated to Joshua Trees. I’m here in Payahuunadü (Owens Valley), we have a workshop coming up, maybe you’d like to join? Curious if your the same guy I just read about? The music from the tree?

Thans for another great ride along Scott. Interesting music in this one. Have a great day!! ✌
