Geocache Description:

This cache is placed next to and in honor of one of the smaller studios in Los Angeles, The Culver Studios


Culver Studios was started by Thomas Ince, the silent movie pioneer that the street the cache is on is named after. Over time, the studio continuously changed hands, at one time being Selznick Studios, during which time Gone With the Wind was shot here. The lot extended one time all the way to Ballona Creek, but they wanted to downsize, so they killed two birds with one stone. They burned it down and filmed it for the burning of Atlanta scene in Gone With the Wind. Serendipity!

Later it became Desilu Studios. One unique thing about this lot is how many of the larger buildings and smaller bungalows still exist, including Lucille Ball and Desi Arnez's.

If you cross Ince and head south about 25 yards, you'll see metal logos adorning the top of the studio wall showing all the different names this lot once had.

If you're interested in learning more, there's a link at the top of the page with a brief overview of the history. You can also Google it and find lots more info.

The cache you are looking for is a small sized plastic bottle. It's not camoulflaged, it's just hidden very well. But there is an attachment device which is plainly visible. Find that, and you'll find the cache!

This area is a little busy during the day, but be especially aware of windows. Most of the people in the offices in the building on the lot don't much give that view the time of day, but there is a nearby office with a large side window facing GZ. It's the building with the intentionally crooked column out front. Just check that one for people and you'll be fine!

BYOP.

PLEASE NOTE THAT LOG AND LOG CONTAINER ARE MICROS AND AS SUCH PLEASE DO NOT PUT STICKERS ON THE LOG. THANKS FOR YOUR COOPERATION!

CONGRATS TO VIRGE FOR BEING THE FTF!
