Day 2 brings us to Griffith Park:

The largest city park in the country – 4,107 acres – possesses several attractions. From a well-kept budget golf course to LA’s acclaimed observatory, a day adventure in Griffith Park can easily turn into an evening spectacular.

Personally, I am a huge fan of heading out to a spot that overlooks LA’s outdoor Greek Theater. There are few venues in the world that host such a range of artists as The Gipsy Kings and Snoop Dogg in the course of a week.

Nothing beats a free concert, no matter who is playing, and the path that leads to the ultimate bargain seating can be found by pulling all the way in the theater’s parking lot and walking up the road that leads to the observatory.

You might have to dodge a few event security vehicles that pass by on your way up, but they rarely look beyond the scope of the windshield. Head off to the left when the music is crisp and the view is manageable.

Note: You might want to take a set of binoculars, a picnic blanket and all the enriching condiments (soda, booze, etc.). Just make sure to not leave a trace so that others may enjoy the environment at a later date and to keep security from becoming suspicious.

Rumor: There is a guy who lives in the park without a wardrobe. A few friends of mine have been startled by the naked nature man, but I find it hard to believe he is armed.
