This is such a cute little park! I can't believe I never knew about it until recently…read more Just to clarify, the name of this park is Bigfoot Mini Park. Natoma Station Mini Park is actually the name of the playground within the nearby Ernie Sheldon Youth Sports Complex. Bigfoot Mini Park, like the surrounding Natoma Station neighborhood, is full of interesting art sculptures. Not only are there several sculptures within the park itself, but there are sculptures or mosaics at every surrounding street intersection. The namesake sculpture for the park is a pair of giant cement legs. They look a little bit bigger in person than they do in the pictures, which is why I posted a picture with my foot in it for comparison. Across from the big foot sculpture, on the back of a bench, I noticed a sign embossed with the following poem: "Listen... You will hear his laugh Amid toddlers on the swings, Children playing at their games, Teens on skateboard wings. Look... At their delighted eyes, The smile on a dirt-smudged face, And surely you will see his spirit Still living in this place. Linger... for a while longer, Embrace these moments today, Hold their memory in your heart, Too soon, they slip away. In loving memory Andre Anthony Anderson 1990-2007" My eyes welled up a little bit as I did the math, and began to fully comprehend the poem. Walking around the park, I saw several more interesting statues and sidewalk mosaics, including one that doubles as a small hopscotch court. My favorite sculpture was probably Hishaku by Jack Nielsen, which also appears to be a drinking fountain (although I didn't check to see if it was functional). As to the playground itself, it's pretty basic. The play structure is small, with just two slides. Nearby, there is a swing-set with two toddler swings and two regular swings. All of this sits on a bed of wood chips. Overall, this park is adorable, and seems like a great way to help children become more interested in art.

Super small not really a lot of Bigfoot stuff. Good place for the immediate area onlyread more

On my latest outdoor venture, I headed to Crystal Basin Recreation area in the El Dorado National…read moreForest. It is a short distance away from Pollock Pines California. This information station also serves as an ranger station as well as an office for the "American Land & Leisure Office. " They manage most of the campsites in the area. The "Crystal Basin Information Station" is located 12 miles from Highway 50 on Icehouse Road. I am terrible when it comes to direction (ask my wife) so I was thrilled to see Park rangers parked in front of the information station. The park rangers as well as all the employees in the information station were extremely helpful in directing me in the right direction. The cabin style station was well maintained with plenty of parking. Not only did the station have maps of the area, they also had nature books, cloths and souvenirs for sale. So if you are ever in the area, stop by and say hello ! Live/ Love/ Travel

However, we were yelled at for no reason by this old lady with braided grey hair. She was so cranky, you would have thought we personally parked in her driveway! Anyway, she cussed out a minor in the family, giving this passive aggressive tone the whole time. We were just waiting for a family member to use the bathroom. She didn't believe us and started recording us immediately! When we were all together finally, she said "unbelievable". What?! It's unbelievable someone returned the way you were told they'd be? How is that unbelievable, lady?! She also cussed out this pair, and shooed them off in a really rude way when they were just trying to scan the QR code for the app to reserve a spot! Do you want visitors, or not, lady? They should call her Cranky McGee!! Geez Louise!!! The people who were here last year were MUCH nicer!!!
