The level creek-side fire road provides pleasant shade from overhanging oaks, along with fine views of the impressive Goat Buttes and surrounding peaks. Staying to the left on High Road only extends the hike by a tenth of a mile each way. When the creek is running high, it is best to stay to the left on High Road, a branch of Crags Road. The creek flows strong in the spring and summer, when you may prefer not to cross the creek. Despite being the largest watershed in the Santa Monica Mountains, areas of Malibu Creek dry out completely in the fall. Crags Road parts to the left, crossing Malibu Creek. This is an alternate approach to the park, beginning from a trailhead along Mulholland Drive (with free roadside parking).Īt 0.3 miles from the start, you will come to an important split. After 0.2 miles, Grassland Trail joins Crags Road from the right. Explore the MASH site before returning the way you came (2.37 miles)įrom the main parking lot (entrance fee required), begin hiking west on Crags Road into Malibu Creek State Park.Pass Lost Cabin Trail on the left and the edge of the MASH Site (2.3 miles).Pass Forest Trail on the left (1.7 miles).Pass the bottom of Cage Creek Trail on the right (1.5 miles).Optionally venture down to Century Lake and back, adding 0.3 miles to the hike.Pass the top of Century Lake Trail on the left (1.25 miles).Pass the bottom of Lookout Trail on the right (1.22 miles).Pass the trail to Rock Pool to meet High Road again and proceed west (0.8 mile).After a meadow, Crags Trail crosses a bridge over Malibu Creek (0.7 miles).Staying to the right on High Road extends the distance by 0.1 miles – simply turn right when High Trail reunites with Crags Road.Come to a split between Crags Road and High Road and turn left to cross Malibu Creek and stay on Crags Road (0.3 miles).Stay to the left past the bottom of South Grassland Trail (0.2 miles).Leave the main parking area on Crags Road (0 miles).An infopanel at the M*A*S*H Set (photo provided by the Malibu Creek State Park Docents) The basic hiking directions to the M*A*S*H site are: With the help of the Malibu Creek State Park Docents, the state park preserves the MASH site for visitors. During this period, the Twentieth Century Fox Ranch was actually sold off and became Malibu Creek State Park. If an electronic version is not available and no instructions on how to obtain it are given, contact the TTI Library.Shooting for MASH took place on a movie ranch operated by Twentieth Century Fox. TTI reports and products are available for download at no charge. Report Number:Ĭrash testing, roadside safety, Signs, Temporary Single Sign Supports Link(s): Document/Product ![]() The report recommendations possible design modifications to mitigate this behavior and improve impact performance for the pickup truck. Consequently, the sign support system did not pass MASH occupant risk criteria. Secondary contact between the pickup truck and the aluminum sign panel of the sign support system oriented at 90 degrees caused a cut in the roof that constituted occupant compartment intrusion. The sign support system oriented at 0 degrees passed all the MASH evaluation criteria. MASH Test 3-72 with the 2270P pickup truck was performed to evaluate the behavior of the sign support oriented at both 90 degrees and 0 degrees. Results were reviewed with the project monitoring committee and a system was selected by TxDOT for evaluation through full scale crash testing. Design concepts were developed and evaluated through engineering analysis, developmental full-scale crash tests, and finite element computer simulations. Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) researchers decided to utilize perforated steel tubing for the frame of the new temporary single sign support system to accommodate requests to help make the system lightweight, durable, easy to assemble, and adjustable. The device is intended to meet the evaluation criteria in MASH. The objective of this research was to develop a nonproprietary, lightweight, crashworthy, work-zone single sign support for use with an aluminum sign substrate mounted at a height of 7 ft. That is, they should not pose a safety hazard to motorists and/or work zone personnel if impacted by errant vehicles. The Federal Highway Administration and the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices require work zone traffic control devices to be crashworthy. Work zone traffic control devices such as temporary single sign supports are a primary means to communicate information to motorists in work zone areas.
