Weekend Activities

A couple fun activities from this last weekend:

There was a car show in what is basically our backyard.  The Koch's car show returned to the Acton KOA for its third year and there were quite a few gems on display.  I admit I am not a "car guy", I could not tell you the names of these glamorous vehicles or the the technical details of their makeup, but they are certainly fun to look at nonetheless.  There were old classics, muscle cars, hot rods, souped up strange looking automobiles, and a few crazy looking motorcycles.  The show was augmented with venders selling car related wares, a food truck, and live rockabilly music apropos of the atmosphere.  Here are a few examples:

'55 or '56 Chevy I think

This past weekend we also went on a spectacular adventure in Pasadena's Eaton Canyon.  Aside from the glorious natural beauty that the rolling hills provide filled with winding trails, lush plant life, and rocky streams at the bottom of the valleys, there are also some water falls providing pools which are opportune for jumping into from high vantage points.  So that is exactly what we did.

After we hiked down about two miles into the canyon we reached the popular cliff jumping spot at Hermit Falls.  There were three different jumping points of various heights: the shortest jump was about fifteen feet, the second about twenty-five, and the highest was roughly forty in my estimation though I really do not know the exact heights.  Anywho, we proceeded to jump into the cool water to our hearts delight.  The highest jump was quite intimidating and took some pondering before we had the guts to finally do it.  It was a rush to say the least.
