The Mountain Getaway — Camp Seely & the Red Cars

In 1913 the City of Los Angeles leased 25 acres of forest for $10 a year and opened Camp Seely, one of the country's first municipal family camps. Together with the Pacific Electric "Red Cars," it filled these pines with working-class city families long before any developer arrived.
