On Saturday, our biggest crowd was 68 people, just after Chango coffee shop in Echo Park. On Sunday, we reached 61, at LA Mill Coffee in Silverlake.
But most amazing of all was our climb to the Hollywood Sign. We arrived out of Griffith Park late – the sun was setting – with less than 15 people. Sixteen additional walkers were waiting at the Beachwood Market, and together we pushed, through the dark, up six stairways, and then another two difficult miles to the top of Mt. Lee. We didn’t get back to the street until close to ten…
Thirty one people to the Hollywood Sign in the darkness, and home again. Those who joined in for that last stretch gave those of us who’d walked for two days something to climb for. It was beautiful. To all of those who waited in Beachwood Canyon, thanks to you for getting us to the finish line.
