SIGNAL HILL, CALIF. BOX (So. Cal.)

This hill top box was placed 1/19/01.  Signal Hill is surrounded by Long Beach, Ca.  Find you way to the top of the hill or if you are training for the Pacific Coast Trail or the Grand Canyon, park at the bottom and hike up the hill from any direction to Hill Top Park.  Use the corner entrance to the park that faces the ocean in the distance.  Look for the built in compass points at the entrance.  Look down the pointer arrow that points at the second L in Signal Hill.  In the distance you will see a series of black arrow heads on yellow backgrounds.  The box is hidden in the looped road barricade under  the Rosemary plants between the two arrowheads on the left end.  The box is a very small tube about 4" by 2".  You will be in plain view of the top of the park so be discreet.  If you take a trash bag with you and appear to be picking up trash it will cover your actions.  By all means, do pick up some trash and enjoy the million dollar view.
