Spilling Thought: This Thanksgiving week, we’ll be sharing great places to explore over the long holiday. Chances are, there’s a park, wildlife refuge or other public lands a short drive away, making it easy to #OptOutside. A visit to #LosAngeles is not complete without going to the #beach. Take in the #PacificOcean at #SantaMonica Mountains National Recreation Area. Explore the shoreline or take it all in from the hills above. You might enjoy it almost as much as grandma’s potato salad. Photo of @santamonicamountainsnps by Steve Lanctot (http://ift.tt/18oFfjl). by usinterior
