Geocache Description:

Located along the LA river near the 405 & 101 freeways. Watch out for the creepy crawlies.

When Ernie LaMere, a retiree who lived in the neighborhood, planted a garden by the river without fanfare or permission in 1987, he invented river restoration -- a decade before it would become hip. "Guerrilla gardening," river maven Melanie Winter calls it. Ernie's Walk, off Kester Avenue, has been an official site since 1992 (LaMere died in 1995), and the county plans to spruce it up. Odd and charming, with a big, colorful garden, folk art and a Wild West cemetery, it's like a Watts Towers for Van Nuys -- a private passion that became a public work.

Small tuperware container, original contents are: Bouncing Ball Travel Bug, my little pony comb, rubber snake, KROQ sticker, tree air freshner, log book and pen. Watch out for mugglers depending on the time of day.
