Yesterday we got a great breakfast at Crazy Otto&#8217;s and today we found The Cabana, a terrific Mexican restaurant. Who would have thought there would be two really great places to eat in one tiny part of the world?<br \/>\n\tWe feasted on chicken enchiladas, beef tamales, carnitas enchiladas (which I have never had before but will order every time I can in the future), tasty refried beans, rice and very light and crispy fresh tortilla chips. We chased the food down with a couple of Negra Modelos and departed about $50 poorer, including tip.<br \/>\n\tFrom The Cabana, we took a short exploratory drive to Vasquez Rocks, an L.A. County natural area. It is also the place where dozens of westerns have been filmed. As soon as we entered the park, I could see massive granite formations that have been plainly visible in the backgrounds of the Virginian, Gunsmoke and movies, too. I also seemed to recognize the background from a Star Trek episode in which Captain Kirk was forced to do battle with a cheesy rubber monster called a Gorn. It would have been easy to get a scenic background here while actually filming cornball action in the foreground. Vasquez Rocks is just off CA-14 as drivers from L.A. approach Palmdale.<br \/>\n\tWe stopped by a grocery, loaded fuel and dropped by the post office before our departure from the Acton area tomorrow. Barring mishaps, we should be near Kings Canyon \/ Sequoia NP at the end of tomorrow&#8217;s drive.<br \/>\n       Vasquez Rocks photos are available if you click <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/photos\/Gg3sESAu2wzFU9WZ6\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Acton is a tiny little place but we hit the restaurant jackpot here twice.
