Description
This photo shows the small bridge over Las Flores Creek that marked the eastern boundary of the Rindge family's Rancho Malibu property. May Rindge set up a gate and guard station at this location to keep uninvited guests off of the property. Looking east, the Las Flores Inn appears in its original state. This is now the site for the Duke's Malibu restaurant. Note that the letters on the roof of the inn have been enhanced for publication in a newspaper. The liquid on the bridge is a quarantine dip to disinfect car tires. Such dips were put in place to prevent the spread of a devastating hoof-and-mouth disease outbreak in April and May of 1924. In total, the outbreak led to the slaughter of over 100,000 animals in California, including cattle, swine, sheep, goats, and even deer. complete;
