A great chance to visit the largest urban park in the United States, take in a great view, do some hiking.

The Griffith park Observatory has undergone a major face lift and renovation inside and out. It is the premier public observatory in these parts.

This trail takes you to the famous HOLLYWOOD sign if you go far enough. I just want you to go a few feet, the rest is up to you. I recommend the Berlin Forest for it's view of the city. Park and grab cleverly disguised large container.

THE HINT IS A TOTAL GIVEAWAY. It's been moved ever so slightly from it's original location, about six feet from there, and is in it's third different container.

Sunday is a busy day, but I managed to grab this one while a friend was distracting the muggles. I don't think the geocoin is there anymore. I grabbed a TB dog tag, but there was nothing attached. I also dropped off Z188HQ.

Wow... nice cache near a super busy place. It's amazing how people just really don't care what you are doing.
Cache looks safe enough. I don't know how many times I have visited
the Griffith Observatory. Has to be one in the top ten places to visit in So Cal. Lasarium!
My new caching partner beat me to this one... There should be a rule! Thanks!

Wow. Big find close to busy path, but all was safe and sound. My first time to this great area. This looks like a great park for geocaching. Will have to return with that in mind someday in the future. TFTC.
