Secret Los Angeles - An Unusual Guide

A concrete jungle surrounded by abundant nature, Los Angeles is surprisingly more than just celebrities, beaches, and theme parks. From bison in the wild, to the actual end of Route 66, an old Cold War army base, a monument to a Japanese man recognized as Righteous Among the Nations, the original Batcave, a unique statue of a shirtless Abraham Lincoln, and an abandoned Nazi camp, the L.A. urban sprawl is packed with unusual and secret treasures.
