The creek freaks of Los Angeles seek out the city’s secret water—and fight to set it free. A suspected Nazi sympathizer, Schmidt had a domineering personality. He convinced the Stephens to pour some $4 million in the construction of the ranch in Rustic Canyon.

And the candidates whom Democratic and Republican voters pick on Tuesday could give larger insights about their views on topics that appear central to this fall's general election. The primary results in this pivotal swing state are certain to reveal insights about the major issues shaping the general election, namely on abortion and the Israel-Hamas war. Enjoy an incredible selection of libations and cocktails in a casual, relaxed, upscale environment that features the best food (and service) in the region. The atmospheric river storm hitting California this week presents a test for an experimental waste-capturing system that’s intended to keep plastic bottles, diapers and other trash from flowing into the Pacific.

Mastro's is committed to delivering an unforgettable experience, every time. An onslaught of atmospheric rivers hit California this winter, exposing the delicate balance of the systems that provide critical water and can prompt dangerous floods. Even with the success of Interceptor 007, which Pestrella said was the only one of its kind in the U.S., major problems with pollution in L.A. Though the department has yet to issue its first-year report, which will include the cost of the program, Pestrella said that capturing trash early was “way, way cheaper” than county crews collecting it from beaches. About 95% of the water that flowed into the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta in the first two weeks of January ended up in the Pacific Ocean. The California Yacht Club, which chartered the brief expedition, has partnered with the interceptor project to allow students to see the device in action using club vessels.

Rustic Canyon's Murphy Ranch

Park and walk west on Casale, which will turn into Sullivan Fire Road. Walk through the stone gate and follow the driveway to the bottom of the Canyon. After you get your fill of good food and drinks, check out the store, located at the front of the restaurant.

Now the property of Los Angeles City parks, Murphy Ranch was originally developed to be a self-sustaining compound in the 1930s. It was originally purchased in 1933 by Jessie Murphy – a person never seen nor documented elsewhere. Despite the phantom owner, the property was developed by Winona and Norman Stephens and a German national by the name of Herr Schmidt. The design implemented was an installation of several buildings, fuel tanks, and multiple massive cisterns. The entire complex, according to the plans of Herr Schmidt, was to be self-sustaining even if it suffered years of isolation from the outside society.

After a historic winter hit California with dozens of atmospheric rivers, the last line of defense protecting the Pacific from much of L.A.’s trash held strong.

“The water remembers and will often follow its old course,” Chimatli wrote. Another blogger, Militant Angeleno, followed the historic flow of Arroyo de la Sacatela from its source in Franklin Hills, above Los Feliz, through Koreatown and into Ballona Creek. At the top of the slope, the one-story horizontal form presents a closed and secure face to the northwestern street exposure. Fire resistive steel rain screens and tempered glazing inhabit the territories earned by the concrete wall. The mass heavy house is designed as a long thin rectangle that faces the sun to maximize solar exposure during winter and minimize heat gain from the west and east in summer.

In all, the first rainy season of the interceptor’s operation saw the collection of 77 tons of material, the vast majority of which went to landfill. During the winter storms, waves caused one of the interceptor’s booms to tear. The collector is partially operational as it awaits a replacement boom. Paper bags and soda bottles, likely washed into the marina from nearby areas in the previous night’s rain, bobbed around on the water’s surface in the basin, a reminder of the pervasive problem of ocean pollution.

At the bottom, you’ll see tucked away under the trees – like a lost temple of old – the tagged piers and vacant windows of the remains of Murphy Ranch. This restaurant has truly been a labor of love down to every last detail. In fact, Jamie hand-made the American flag made of pallets that you’ll find in the restaurant and picked up the large driftwood piece hanging in the restaurant after Hurricane Matthew. They created a restaurant that they would not only be proud to own, but also thrilled to visit as a customer. There’s great draft beer, baseball on the TV’s, an awesome bar, and plenty of space for the kids to play. "I was walking by my friend's house and...then I seen black smoke and I went by it and the whole house was on fire," Devon McCormack, a 6th grader, said.

Schmidt’s motivations, however, remain the focus of the lore. Because the local districts tend to lean Democratic or Republican, the results of the primary elections can have a large sway on the race. To the northeast of Harrisburg, in the Lehigh Valley, three Republicans are competing to take on Democratic Rep. Susan Wild.

Sunlight bathes the interior through walls of glass while the sound of the creek and the wind in the trees soothes the soul - a retreat from the chaos of city life. Bordered by Collins Creek to the south you'll find a watering hole perfect for cooling off on warm summer days. The grounds can host large gatherings or an intimate fireside chat on the deck. “The difficulty is that Kenter Creek runs through private property, so the city is less interested in protecting it with the energy that they should, simply because it’s blocked off to the public,” Pelcyger says. At her age, she can’t troop up and down its length playing creek police.

Too efficient, according to coastal agencies, conservationists, and the passionate advocates for re-wilding the region’s streams and creeks who are known affectionately as creek freaks. They say that as water becomes scarcer, more of the local supply must be captured in the region’s aquifers instead of being diverted into storm drains and concrete channels and routed to the sea. Capturing rain and runoff higher up on the watershed would also keep it out of the L.A. River and Ballona Creek, the 8.8-mile concrete-encased river that flows through Culver City and Playa Vista on the Westside of L.A. And so Nichols Canyon Creek, which flows year-round and ranges from a trickle to a four-foot-wide stream, depending on the season and terrain, completes its journey through the L.A.
