Jan 15 - Vasquez Rocks Natural Area Park, near Acton, CA

  It was a beautiful, sunny day, and we had the whole day to do with as we pleased.  We decided to drive over the Vasquez Rocks Natural Area Park, about 20 minutes from our campgrounds.  It turns out this is really an amazing place.  A large geological area, of upthrust rocks, owned privately, previously, and is now a Natural Area Park.  The formations are just amazing and incredible.  We walked a loop throughout the various formations and climbed on some.  This location has been the site of many, many Hollywood western movies throughout the decades, including the Lone Ranger, and even Start Trek episodes.  We actually saw a movie scene being shot, in amongst the rocks.  We also saw a wedding photographer doing their shoot, with the amazing backgrounds of the rocks.  Robbie says that my folks used to take visitors here a lot.
