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.
