Pretty cool old stuff - and yes, it was already old in the '60s. Lots of hollow echoey clanking, groaning and banging all night up there.

Re: Yeah, I used to hang around up there . . .
In '50s, via my first freedom-wheels: a Whizzer motor bike (bicycle + motor) I wanted to ride from Pacific Beach to There. My mater saith No!
(Maybe wisely.. but it wasn't That big a deal; it was reliable - I was too, sorta.. 'Course it would have helped if I'd had a license.)

No - that was the Griffith Observatory.
From Mount Wilson the whole of Griffith Park (4,210 acres) is just a black lump in the sea of lights.
