The boy came over yesterday, and - can you believe it!?!? – I actually convinced the lady that he should take us all to the park (finally!)
We went to Bicknell Park in Montebello, CA. It’s a small, nice park in the middle of a big golf course. It’s also home to the Armenian Monument:

In the video above you get to check out the park, and in the one below you get to see the monument.
After paying a moment of respect, I felt the urge to grasp life while you can, so I tooled over past “the edge” of the park and did some off-roadin’ as you see in the video below.
Finally, as you’ll see in the bottom video, I had to take off my tourist hat and put on the TPS (Tiki Protection Services) hat to deal with some trespassers. I know, I know, they might look harmless to you, but I have found in my years of experience that it’s really a domino effect of property management. If you tolerate a little “harmless” trespassing it won’t be long before you start to see petty vandalism, maybe they steal some pomegranates from your front yard, whatever… the next thing you know, the safety of your land and your persons is in jeopardy.
This is why I have a zero tolerance policy. If some people think I’m too aggressive, so be it. That’s the price of freedom.
