It’s the “Upside-Down Pool”. The tiles in the pool are dark blue with gold constellations laid out on the bottom, and when you swim on your back and look up, you see the creatures of the sea in the ceiling. Even the lighting was designed to enhance the effect. There is also a small grotto extention to the right with a walk way you could dive from. It is the coolest pool I’ve ever seen.
San Simeon was closed, I had to camp up the road at the next site. The ranger- who was armed with a tactical AR15… charged me $35 for a tent site. I gladly handed him the money. hence the finger gesture…
When they built the place- there was no water, or sewer, so they had to engineer everything. And build housing for all the workers. they farmed the food there, had livestock to feed everybody, etc. It was almost self-sufficient. It even had a zoo with polar bears and grizzly bears. And Hearst had ADD- so he had most of the place redesigned several times. The Roman Pool at the top was rebuilt 4-5 times before they stopped. Everybody who was anybody partied there.
“Rosebud” was Marion Davies’s girly bits.

I remember seeing this on MTV Cribs….
I think one of the rooms is dedicated to Kennedy plowing Monroe
I’ve been there. Its amazing. Utterly beautiful.
Is that floor really shiny, or is that an indoor pool?
Ya, it’s known as the Roman Pool

I wonder if you could like hide in a closet until it closed and the just chill
Did you camp in San Simeon? I used to go there a couple times a year when I lived in California, it was pretty nice.
