Whe me and my friends headed to box canyon we knew we were gonna see some strange shit. Why? Because we were looking for the Fountain of the World!!!
ok i'm lazy so I'm gonna give you the juicy bits from Manson.com which is a site for all things Charles Manson and the Family. Props to those who run that site because it has ALOT of information, very detailed.
" ....The Fountain of the World was founded by Krishna Venta (true name was Francis Heindswatzer Pencovic). The cult was also known as the WKFL Foundation (Wisdon, Knowledge, Faith, Love).
Pencovic was born in 1911, married in 1937 and divorced in 1944. In 1948, Pencovic changed his name and founded his religion.
Pencovic was arrested in 1941 after sending a threatening letter to President Roosevelt. Later, using the name Frank Jensen, he committed a series of crimes including burglary, larceny and violating the Mann Act. He also spent a few months in a mental hospital.
Krishna Venta's cult settled at 585 Box Canyon Road in Canoga Park, California. He claimed to be 244,000 years old and that he would never die. He arrived on Earth, supposedly, in 1932 at Mount Everest.
On December 10, 1958, former members of Pencovic's cult, Ralph Muller and Peter Kamenoff, set off explosives killing themselves, Pencovic and several others. Krishna Venta is buried in Valhalla Memorial Park in Burbank, California.
Fred Medina and Danny Townsend were convicted for the 1972 murders of Dori Haines (15) and Cheryl Monticello (16). Medina and Townsend lived at the Fountain of the World at the time. The victims had been hitchhiking to shop at Topanga Canyon Plaza when they were picked up by Medina (21), Townsend (19), Lisa Gleitsman (17) and Virginia Walton (15). The six (and possibly another girl friend) then allegedly spent the day at a Malibu beach partying and taking drugs. They then proceeded to a deserted hillside near Woolsey Canyon Road and Valley Circle Drive. Gleitsman admitted to being jealous of Dori and Cheryl. According to Gleitsman and Walton, the two men had sex with the victims. The jealous girls then attacked the victims. To keep them from going to the police, Medina and Townsend then killed them.
In 1973, Indian members of the Red Wind Foundation moved to the Fountain of the World property. In October of the following year, the body of cab driver George Aird was found at the bottom of a drain pipe at the Indian camp. Seven people were arrested in connection with the murder. A couple of days earlier, some of the group had broken into a neighbor's house and beat him for an hour and a half in a robbery attempt. After the arrests, residents of the canyon told of six months of terror from the Indians firing shots at all hours of the night, death threats and the constant beating of drums.
Perhaps most people wouldn't care about such events, but this is my backyard! I myself have nearly died off of Woosley Canyon, and I've driven Box Canyon many times wondering what secrets it held. It's a strange place. Oh yeah its on the edge of hell, more of that topic later.
So here's what I wanted to find (or something resembling it)
but instead I got..
Well pinky was cool atleast because the man who owned it came out and said Hello among the other things. A little odd man, but cool and willing to share his passion of collecting shit for his yard.
However if you look closely you'll see HELTER SKELTER is on the rocks. Right. Well us girls climbed it naturally to find hiding out behind the rocks was someone living in a camper hiddern from the world..
yeah well Box Canyon won a match against us. Nothing crazy here. Just people living in a canyon..

Wanderlust – a strong innate desire to rove or travel about. The word is German. A wanderer is a hiker. A Wanderin is a female hiker or rambler. Wanderung, wanderweg and wanderlied are a hike, a trail, and a hiking song, respectively. Actually, the more I check out my German the more I realize that my ancestors, ze Germans, have a thing for traveling or at least a metric fuck ton of ways to refer to it. Reisen is the actual word for travel. If you have a Reisenpass you may travel about the country.
I’d love to speculate further about travel and Germans but, I don’t have the time to research this. Anyway, this is about the word and meaning od De Wanderlust. Shit. I mean Schieβe!! (I’ve forgotten most of my German Grammar!)
Ok so what about this again? Wanderlust is a strong desire to travel to understand one’s own existence. I think this website ought to be called the Wanderlust blog, but that’s been taken by hippies in retro clothing; nothing wrong with that. They have a little silver bullet of hippie stuff in…. hippie land.
“But I….” Said I, while crying, “I want to be amongst those who travel not to be a fucking hippie, but to be aware of my own existence with meaning…” Suddenly I feel like Jack Kerouac should be here. But drugs aside, I just think life should have more meaning. I’ll never know if what I’m doing is right or wrong. What decisions were the best or the worst.
I do know this, I like to wander, I like to explore and I find fun in being lost while on an adventure. I’m happiest with my life when I’m on foot, in a new place.
Oh shit. Jack is here!!.
I agree. Until then I will wander wander wander wander around L.A, The U.S.A, and whatever country I can get into.
