Hyperlocal Camarillo Podcast

Jul 24 2020 • 26 mins

In Part II, May Rindge continues the solemn promise she made to her late husband, Frederick Rindge, to resist all efforts by others to invade their domain, Rancho Topanga Malibu. Some of her efforts went to extremes. After losing hundreds of heads of livestock, she hired armed guards and instructed them to shoot any trespassers. Gun fights, Legal hand-to-hand guerrilla warfare, over twenty million dollars of her own money, and one missing person are just a few in a chain of events that led to the birth of the Pacific Coast Highway between Oxnard and Santa Monica—and it went all the way to the Supreme Court. What does this have to do with Camarillo? Give a listen!
