Location
Inside the giant Chevron oil refinery near the ocean in El Segundo; the closest road is Vista Del Mar Blvd.

Plans
Drive by on my way from San Diego to Los Angeles. I'm sure I won't be able to get close, but might as well see how close I can get.
Expedition
After getting off the 405, I drove down Rosecrans Ave, turned at Vista Del Mar Blvd. and found there was no where to park anywhere close to the refinery (reasonably enough). So I snapped pictures of the refinery fence as I went by, then grabbed on picture of me to prove I was in El Segundo at least. It was an entertaining side-trip.

Photos
As I was driving along Rosecrans Ave. I noticed the HQ for the large comics company, Marvel.
After careful investigation of aerial photos, I determined this was one of the two pictures I took closest to the actual hash point.
And this is the other one.
Finally, proof that I was actually somewhere in the vicinity.
