Every time I pass this structure, I say to
myself, "Wow, this would be a great place for a cache."
And now there is a cache there.
There are some nice views here.
The first view is the mountain with the radio tower above, just to
the South.
The second view is the structure itself, and is
quite interesting, especially when they light it up at night.
The third view is the Ballona Creek right below,
which has a bike path entrance on the other side. (The cache is not
on the bike path)
I am including a picture of the structure, and if you like, you can
add a pic, too, to make things interesting.
Good luck, and enjoy this spot!

Don Merkt's sculpture, Crossed Currents, pays
homage to Ballona Creek and its importance to the native
inhabitants (Gabrielino/Tongva) of the region. The creek provided
fresh water and served as a conduit for ocean breezes. Wind and
water are realized as themes in this artwork on several levels: the
single water droplet spilling over the lip of the jug into the
creek and the wind moving the water bubbles suspended inside the
jug. Crossed Currents was a winning entry in the Metropolitan Water
District of Southern California's Liquid Art contest.
(Thanks goes out to BenH57 for finding this

The sculpture is
made of stainless steel and steel mesh, and measures 28'
high. |
