I really like traveling through Los Angeles Union Station. It just seems so delightfully twentieth century.

Bree and I are currently relaxing at my parents' house in Orange County, having taken the train here from Los Angeles on Thursday. In the coming days I think we're going to steal my dad's Prius for a trip up to the Eastern Sierra, probably Devil's Postpile, and who knows where else.

Pictured above is Bree with some of the chickens and baby chicks that live here... they are really very cute. My mom bought some fertilized chicken eggs and snuck them into the hen's nest, and now the `mother' hen seems quite enamored of her foster chicks. (Further reading on furzicle's journal.)

devil's postpile is quite awesome. if you're up for a serious hike, my gf and i did a 3-day loop from devil's postpile as the base up to the cirque lakes (Minaret, Cecile, Iceberg) with absolutely gorgeous views. an in-and-out to Minaret can make for a moderate-to-hard but pleasant overnighter or a _really_ intense day hike, and you'll get most of the views there.

pictures available if you want motivation

(also i saw the photo and was going to ask, as a joke, whether the chickens came from the egg carton... then i read the text. err. interesting. i didn't know fertilized eggs are sold like that)
