    I wonder if they know the history of this pool (as he didn't mention it in the video). For those who don't, this was the pool that belonged to my childhood camp "Griffith Park Boys Camp". The camp later built a new pool right on property, however, we spent many years hiking up to this infamous pool as part of our camp experience.

    WOW- I used to swim in this pool in the 70's all the time first as a camper at Griffith Park Boys Camp and then when I worked there for many years- it was a great pool and very refreshing after the long hike to it- thx for bringing back such memories!!

      I used to work at the camp, and we would hike by it all the time. There are a number of other foundations for buildings that were part of the old camp that was destroyed by fire. Most of these foundations are practically invisible as they've been taken over by underbrush.

    When I was a kid, I went to Griffith Park Boys Camp, and this was the pool at the time. We'd walk up the trail to it. I was there in the late 60's early 70's. If you notice at the old entrance, there's a square. That square contained water with higher chorine in it, and you had to step into it before you went into the pool. I was told (unknown if true) it was a relic from when polio was an issue. I think it was just because boys have stinky feet.

  • @GregsVlog

    I guess there was easier access to the pool back in the day? Seems so random to have a pool so isolated like that! Also, that honeycomb is an amazing find! I remember a show called “Billy the Exterminator” who would cut out beehives like that from people’s houses!

    That’s the “Old Pool” at Griffith Park boys camp. Whenever they hire new people, the older people usually go up there on the first training night to hang out. We went up there just to chill, nothing haunted about it, we went there around 10-midnight, beautiful place at night, great way to start the training week. Just hiking with a bunch of coworkers/friends and enjoying the view once you get there :)

    Interesting.Never knew about that pool. I thought I knew this park like the back of my hand. There was another pool higher up behind the Hollywood sign on the flat part of Mt Lee that the great film pioneer Mack Sennett leveled off to build a huge mansion that would have been the largest in LA at that time. It included a large pool with sandy beach. The crash of 1929 depleted his funds and house was never completed.

    That was a beautiful hive. Is was likely wild honey bee honeycomb and a hive that size would likely house 10,000-20,000 bees. During the day about 2/3 of them would be out foraging. Honey bees are relatively harmless unless you do something to piss them off. I'm a novice bee keeper and the only time I've been stung is when one mistakenly flew up my pant leg. Cool video!

    Hey Adam! About those funny looking things at the end of your video, all you have to do to find out what they are is to poke them with a very, very long stick. LOL I grew up in the middle of the Mojave desert (Ridgecrest, China Lake) and as a kid I was always exploring the desert, and I poked a lot of things with a very long stick. I am afraid I still do that as an adult. Anyway, if the thing was alive and it started to attack you all you have to do is throw the stick at it and run away! I love your videos, and was having a bad day until I saw this one. Thank you! And thank you for the hard work (hiking!) for bringing it to us. Stay safe. Much love to you!!!

      Do you have any documentation on this Girls camp? Was it a summer Tent camp?
