Valley of the Moon Park (the old crib-house red-light row)

This leafy 22-acre creekside park along Chester Creek was, in November 1916, a row of one-woman 'crib houses' — solo brothels built by sex workers who'd just been evicted by the Forest Service from the first red-light strip near the Park Strip. The whole district was dismantled weeks after the era's only known photo was taken.

The move: Pull up David Reamer's ADN history on your phone, then walk the Chester Creek path at dusk and try to place where the crib-house row stood — a quiet, slightly illicit history scavenger hunt that nobody else on the trail knows they're walking through.
