I was surprised I didn't see much come up when I did a search for this. It's not much of a secret...if you google it you can find articles about it but it's HUGE!

"The L.A. County Poor Farm—a refuge for the elderly, homeless, mentally ill, and disabled—opened in 1888. Immensely successful, it grew over time to house thousands of patients and hold official status as its own town before becoming part of Downey in the 1950s. Later renamed Rancho Los Amigos, it had a working farm, a Craftsman mansion for the superintendent, its own post office, a World War II Army base, and a miniature zoo before it shut down and fell into disrepair in the ’80s (the Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center across the street, though, is still up and running). Now erroneously known as the Hollydale Mental Hospital, it’s dilapidated and definitely creepy—a bunch of marines even found a box of mummified legs in a freezer there during a training exercise in 2006."

There was no security and plenty of holes to climb through! So much to explore we probably didnt even do half

You got lucky on security.

every time I have been it has been heavily patrolled.

Glad you got some good shots though! I only got into the old chapel which was pretty boring.
