The Spiderpool has been a fascination of mine for years. It's one of those "culty" locations in Los Angeles that only a few people get to experience because it's so difficult to get to.
Plus you'd have to do it illegally.
Unless you are invited.
That's how we got there. We knew how rare this opportunity is so we documented this unusual landmark so everyone can enjoy it.
Believe me, getting there isn't easy. It's steep, it's dangerous and absolutely covered in poison oak.
But it's really neat.
Enjoy our Journey to Spiderpool

Great video, Scott. It seems to me that maybe there was another way to get to the pool other than the way you went? I can't imagine it being that hard to get to when it was in use. Also, whatever happened to the house? You showed old pics of it, and they look fantastic; but did the house end up being another victim of "progress", or is someone living in it today?
ReplyDeleteYou were trespassing - that picnic table, chair and hammock are mine and this is evidence of you being on my property uninvited. You will be hearing from my attorney and please remove this video.
ReplyDeleteG people, please respect the law. Would you want somebody crawling around your property?
ReplyDeleteHe’s touring companies are a fantastic way to learn more about Los Angeles. I was born at Cedars of Lebanon Hospital here in Los Angeles, but I didn’t know that it was now the Scientology headquarters!
ReplyDeleteAlso another great tour is the tour of historical Jewish sites in Boyle Heights. Look up Barrio Boychic, Shmuel Gonzalez, for a fascinating tour of old time Los Angeles Jewish sites. And tell him that Tika sent you.
*Correction, these tour
ReplyDeleteThere is so much to see in Los Angeles, especially for all you newbies.
