We are so similar in life thinking. Appreciate the simple things in life. I am over the moon happy for you that you finally got to touch the sign!!! I hope you got to touch every letter. I would have hugged you when you became overcome. I grew up in Hollywood, in the 60's and looked at the sign every day for many many years, We drove up there a few times. Your background of all your videos and all the little personal feelings you tell us are truly unique in You Tube videos. That's one of the things that make your videos so special and sincere. Ausgezeichnete Arbeit!!! There are many things I would love to go see and remember in Hollywood. Mike listen to this next statement. This is no BS. If God ever found a way to get me back there, I would be overwhelmed and honoured to meet you!!!!!! Ich bete, dass Gott Sie mit einem langen, gesunden Leben segnen wird, mein Freund.

I got quite close to the Hollywood sign about 40 years ago, standing on the road above/behind it. On that day we were there, not too long after a heavy rainstorm the ground was too muddy to safely go down and touch it, so we didn't. I'm somewhat envious that you got to paint it. Lucky for you, your dream came to fruition.

I lived in LA in the early 90's. I went up to the sign back then. I'm not in bad shape but I was heavily into martial arts then but you'd need to be in good shape to climb up there.
