Uh Oh, Better Keep my Eyes Peeled

I'm on a mountaintop in Latigo Canyon just north of Malibu, California.  And yes, this is rattlesnake country.  I'm staying in my own guesthouse at the Halley spread.  Scott and Aricia welcomed me with open arms to their 70% sustainable farm on a terraced landscape.  There was a foggy, cold mist most mornings.  The locals up and down the coast call it "June Gloom" and it goes on all summer.  I had to wear socks!  Nippy!
