We went on a "field trip" today to see how close we could get, legally, to the Hollywood sign! This is the result. It was so cool to look up and see it on the hill above us. We are all used to seeing it from miles away, and here we were within perhaps 1/4 mile. The trick was to drive up local residential streets in Hollywood until we got as close as we could. When you get here, at a dead end street, there are signs warning that is is private property beyond, and no hiking allowed beyond this point. OK, so don't ask me how I know this, OK, but guess what happens if you try hiking up the steep hill to the base of the sign? After you get about half way there, you suddenly hear a voice (not a recording) that says you are trespassing, and to turn around! How does it know? Well, there are security cameras posted there, and they are watching you, and when you get close enough to the cameras, some guy talks to you and you hear his voice from the speakers! So if you come up here, don't go beyond the signs, or else! Aren't you glad that I told you this?
