Geocache Description:

You are looking for a German Army Butter Dish. After finding this one visit the Radar Site (GC1Y2KN).

During the Cold War the U.S. Military constructed 16 Nike Missile sites around the Los Angles area. The first one was operation in 1950 and the last one was decommissioned in 1974. Today little remains of this interesting part of L.A. defense history. This is the location of the L-55 Battery Launch Facility (L). The launch site is now the maintenance yard for the city of Rancho Palos Verdes and the administrative site is used as RPV City Hall.
