Thanks to the Los Angeles Urban Rangers, I’ll never be intimidated by a no-trespassing sign again.
On Saturday, August 11, 2007, the Rangers, a merry band of artists, urban planners, and environmentalists, led a "safari" to the Malibu Beaches and showed about 35 people how to access and enjoy the pristine beaches there [...]
