A 342-Mile Exploration of America's Second Largest City

Walking the Line is an inspirational urban walking adventure that explores Los Angeles, away from the glamor and fame of its well-known centrally located attractions.

Longtime LA resident Roy Meals describes numerous little-known points of interest he discovered while tracing the 342-mile perimeter of America's second-largest city. In ten-mile twice-weekly segments, he follows LA's city limits beginning atop a 5,000-foot mountain, proceeding along sea-level beaches, and continuing through residential, commercial, and industrial areas.

He samples ethnic delicacies, races go-karts, pets a giraffe, suffers landfill ejection, paints graffiti, and takes hang gliding and fencing lessons. For LA residents and visitors, this is a unique guide to underappreciated and fascinating local attractions.

Highlights include:

• Full chapters on attraction-dense areas: Venice, Griffith Park, San Pedro and Wilmington

• 7 wilderness hikes in the San Gabriel and Santa Monica Mountains

• 27 urban segments, including Sylmar, Brentwood, South LA, Boyle Heights, North Hollywood, and Eagle Rock

• 107 color photographs

Regardless of readers' home turf, Walking the Line encourages everyone to escape their own neighborhoods, venture forth on foot, and make interesting, life-enriching discoveries.
