We arrived in Los Angeles on Friday. Amanda and Jeff took us for a fantastic hike at the Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area. It provided a panoramic view of the city. I was just amazed at how large and sprawling it was. We also learned about the Baldwin Hills Reservoir which was formally on this site and which failed in 1963. After cracking, it emptied in 77 minutes and destroying nearly 70 homes. Now it is an inviting green, grassy bowl with many trees. It is a contrast to the scrubbier, dry landscape around it.
