Not that it's an unpleasant way to spend a Sunday afternoon, mind you. Located at the end of Pico Road, just beyond the southern frontier of the Holy Protectorate of Stevenson Ranch, Mentryville is open from 12 noon to 4 pm on the first and third Sundays of each month. Jack and Joan moved in as caretakers when the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy acquired the Pico property late last year. They have been doing a commendable job of tracking down forgotten pieces of the town's history. You will be amazed at how spectacular our valley looks through the lens of Richard's camera.
