Sharing my photo of me at Vasquez Rocks that I mentioned in a different post.
Looks much smaller in person. Didn’t get a chance to get upclose. I was cutting it close on time to make it to Universal Studios Hollywood for Fan Fest Nights (it was a 2 hour drive in stop and go traffic for me).
But m, yay! I got to see the Famous Rock (the formation featured throughout Trek). There is another formation called Witch’s Hat (for looking like a witch’s hat).
The sound you’re hearing is me screaming in intense jealousy. Both of your trip and the outfit! LLAP
🤭 Thanks. Unfortunately, unless I planned a better day to Agua Dulce (the city which Vasquez Rocks is located), I wouldn’t dare make the drive again. On a Saturday, there was so much traffic for the 64 miles doesn’t drive.
Timing is everything with LA traffic. Right now I could get from Westwood to Vasquez rocks in a breezy 45 minutes, but that’s because it’s 11:25 pm.
As someone who’s not familiar with the LA area, it blows my mind that those things are basically in the middle of an urban area.
Not this. This is pretty far removed from urban. 40 miles doesn’t seem like much unless you drove 2 hours to get there.
Perhaps “urban” is the wrong word, but it ain’t exactly Cestus III, y’know?
Just keep in mind our “SoCal” urban area is pretty fucking enormous, it sort of engulps the areas of natural beauty, connecting multiple cities, and we have too many cars. I love it, but visitors often have unrealistic expectations of how many places they can get to in a day.
Yep. Many people for example mistakenly think Los Angeles is near Disneyland.
Lol I just finished watching “Arena”. It’s a cool place, every fan should visit.
Many other episodes and not just TOS, filmed there.
