Malibu Creek

Malibu creek state park

Malibu Creek State Park is amazingly beautiful. I think this landscape is what California looked like before we had it paved.

I have heard a different variation of the Pepperdine myth—that Throop College was given the option of land that later became the Pepperdine campus but Millikan refused it.

And what about the Caltech landscaping budget--do you know if there is truth to that legend?

I'm not actually sure; I never bothered to verify the rumor, but I heard it from a prof on a field trip at Malibu Creek and I was dreaming about how neat it would be to have the rocks so nearby.

Landscaping budget...I heard various figures over 4 years.

I've definitely heard the legend of the landscaping budget several times before. There's gotta be some truth to it, although I'm not sure how big the donation was...
