Hike # 2 Eaton Canyon Falls

Place: Eaton Canyon County Park and Natural Area   Altadena, Ca
Hiking Distance: 3 miles round trip

  Got a Bit of a late start for this hike, wanted to be out on the trail by 7 AM ended up getting there around 10AM. It still ended up being a decent start. The parking lot was very crowded as were the trails, but this is nothing new for the weekends.

It was a very nice hike past lots of dry brush (The fire danger for that day was high), small creeks, lots of rocks/boulders and a pretty decent waterfall considering its been so hot and dry lately.

We did end up having to do some scrambling up and down large rocky areas to stay on the trail. Erland made some sandwiches which we ate once we got to the waterfall. Nature provided us with some comfy seats to have our lunch on! There were also a good number of dogs on the trail. Young and old, large and small. Most were off leash trained. One dog came to visit us while we where eating our sandwiches. I think he wanted to partake but we did not have an extra sandwich to spare- sorry pooch! More Pictures of the hike can be found here.

I happened to get a new camera for my birthday, so I made full use of it on this hike. A neat feature that I will play with as I continue this blog is to add some video. Below are some videos from our hike.

I'm not sure what our hike for next week will be. Since I got my tattoo, I wont be able to wear a pack, so we may need to go on a shorter hike!

Hobby # 2: Papercraft

What is papercraft? It's models constructed from sheets of heavy paper,paperboard or card stock. I am using card stock for my papercraft models.

I have been interested in papercraft for a while now and just recently have had the time to get some tools and start. My first attempt was a character from the cartoon network show called Adventure Time.

This is Beemo. He is a video game console on the show. He is a simple model that I made to practice on. I hope to be able to make more intricate models in the future

Hobby #1: Hiking

The Mission: Hike all hikes listed in:

We are starting with easy trails and then working up to the longer, more difficult trails. Since school is starting soon the plan is to hike a trail each Sunday. Today we decided to hike one of the many trails at Griffith Park.
