Signs

The view from the Playground

I have delayed Part II of The Path to Lauren because more information is being obtained that may add further insight.


This group of signs is located on the upper bluff of Abalone Cove prior to descending on the path to the Nursery School. I do not know when any of these signs were installed, but I do know that because of Sarah's efforts some new signs were put in the area to warn people of the dangerous conditions due to unstable ground that isn't obvious.

The following signs are located just before the Playground.



This is a picture of the Lifeguard station outside of the Playground and adjacent to the parking lot.


This sign is located on Portuguese Point as you look out toward Inspiration Point. This is very near the area from which Detectives Leslie and Smith went under the fence (with Dr. Berkowitz) and followed a remote path not traveled by Cam. Dr. Chinowah from the Medical Examiner's office told the Grand Jury that he also went on this walk, but it was later discovered to be untrue.


This sign is off Palos Verdes Drive South on the path that leads to Sacreds Cove and Inspiration Point.

This sign is located in the same general area as above.

This sign is on the open gate on the second path that leads from PV South to Inspiration Point. Unfortunately I did not think of taking a picture of the entire sign, but I think you can read it if you click on the photo to enlarge it. I believe it says, "WARNING. Beyond this point are unstable cliffs and steep drop offs not recommended for children. Proceed at your own risk." I suspect this sign was added because of Sarah's efforts. It is only on this gate. I saw no other signs about children on the other path going to Inspiration Point nor elsewhere. This leads to the one area where I felt very nervous, right above the Archery Range. No other signs exist at the entrance to Inspiration Point. I go into this more in Part II because the short path right beyond this gate made me very nervous. It is entirely avoided by taking the first path instead, which is the path Cam and Lauren went on. I should also note that the jury was taken through this gate and not on the first path which Cam and Lauren had been on.


This sign is located further up PV South on the driveway entrance to the Archery Range.

These are the only signs I saw.

IMPORTANT NOTE: There is further discussion about these signs in the comments which identifies what was done as a result of Sarah's efforts. Signs warning of constant land movement and the one on the gate along with limited fencing were added. Letters discussing these efforts are linked in comments.
