Right in the middle of Long Beach is the El Dorado Nature Center, 105 acres of forest, surrounding a stream and two lakes. Our daughter-in-law, Kylie, guided us through the trails that wind through the Center. Along for the ride was our new grandson, Oli, who was experiencing his first stroll through the woods. The Center provided an interesting juxtaposition to the surrounding dry landscape of Long Beach. It was more like the Washington DC than Southern California. There were even aggressive squirrels.
