We've slowly been doing and seeing some of our locale attractions. Here is what we've done lately.
 |
| Family Fun center has some decent mini golf |
 |
| Some of the course was quite challenging-see that curve?! |
 |
| Sean's favorite outing was the batting cages. |
 |
| My helmet was way too big. It kept falling down over my eyes, not a good idea when the ball is heading right towards you! |
 |
| Up one of our local canyons is the site of the old St. Francis Dam. |
 |
| Here's a map of where the dam broke and carried debris all the way to the ocean. |
 |
| Here is what the dam looked like. |
 |
| This shows a portion of the broken dam |
 |
| Here's what the dam is like now. There is still a pool of water, hence the green trees. If you look closely, you can see rebar sticking out of those "rocks." |
 |
| This is one of the water plants in the canyon. During the '20s this plant was one of the only plants that watered LA. |
 |
| We had to walk on this old road to get to the dam sight. Sean thought this would be the perfect location to film a post apocalyptic movie. |
 |
| More of the deserted road. |
 |
| Vasquez Rocks are very famous. They were named for a bandit that hid among the nooks and crannies, evading the law. |
 |
| If you saw Star Trek, Flintstones and a whole lot of old westerns or sci-fi shows then this place will probably look familiar. |
 |
| The other no-so-famous parts of Vasquez Rocks. |
We've enjoyed getting to know our neighborhood and cant wait to explore more!
