Chicoian Get-Away

From Tuesday to Thursday last week I drove approx. 3.5 hours north to visit my Aunt Lo, Uncle Greg, my Sis Christy and her Husband (or Brother-In-Law, if you will) Chris in Chico. They all live there! It was great! Chico is a surprisingly small town. Just about five minutes from one end to the other! Had a cool little downtown thing with a Peets and a Starbucks and a "Naked Lounge" coffee house, the local "hot-spot." I got to see my cousins, Mel and Liz, or Lizzy or Lizard. Very cool kids. Together we mused about racewalking as an olympic sport and the eating and excersice habits of rabbits. I got to see Chris and Chris's new bungalow. Very quaint! I thought it was a cool little place. I got to hear Greg drum, always an awesome treat, he is very good. He could have used a little more cowbell, of course. :) The highlight, though, I would have to say was Bear Hole!

Bear Hole is this little section of creek they have in Chico with these rocks to climb on.



"Probably the most visited of these is Bear Hole. Located off the twisting dirt road that leads to all of Upper Park's swimming holes, Bear Hole offers deep rushing waters spotted with lots of volcanic rocks perfect for jumping."

Clear, mildly chilly water. Very fun.
