The Holy City of Father Riker
1919
Santa Cruz Mountains, California

A white-supremacist huckster's roadside 'perfect government' on the Santa Cruz highway, with a radio station, a zoo, and billboards for miles. The highway moved, the con collapsed, and Riker died having run for governor four times. A few buildings rot in the redwoods.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
