More reconnaissance is required to find the right approach with minimal criminal activity.

I still want to find it. And I am willing to risk a little trespassing.

After all; it ain't illegal if you don't get caught!

Just carry a clipboard with you. It's amazing what you can get away with if you are seen carrying a clipboard...

Of course it's not an issue since you can't read a map anyways...

For some reason, Moonliner seems to think he is closer to 3100 Goodview by being a few hundred yards southeast of 3100 Goodview. Can't quite figure out his logic.

Has anyone thought of going to the county recorder's office and trying to determine the property lines of the site (not to mention figuring out who the owner is?)

The exact location of the site is (at least as far as everything I have read) is still unknown - it still requires some on-location reconnaissance.

That's been done - problem is the original property was a hodgepodge of lots and the structure(s) were ultimately condemned, and the original "road" or access no longer exists - at least at that part, so really that leaves poking around to find what part of the property the spider pool (or the remaining mosaic) rests on. Reports from other blogs state parts are visible from the opposite side of the Hollywood Freeway, which means up from Pacific or Woodrow Wilson. Other reports state that when there you are near someone's driveway - so a good day in that neighborhood, you'd probably locate it. Hillside is steep and covered in cactus, so no easy going - not to mention there is probably fencing of some sort. Still, a doable quest that remains on my to do list.

Well, I was thinking that if we know the general location, there might be some assistance in the form of viewing a plat map of that neighborhood.
