She also explained that the reason so many hours have tires piled up (or bizarre totem poles made out of trash) is for their addresses! A lot of places don’t have street names, so people refer to their homes by their own created landmarks! As in, “take a left at the four tires standing up then pull up to the stack of orange metal bits formed to make a tree shape.”
After this view of poverty, we went into the Goulding’s Museum which told the Hollywood filming history for the area. Neither sister realized SO MUCH filming had occurred there! Honestly, Hollywood brought a lot of attention to this otherwise economically lacking area – good job, for once!
Back at Jen’s house, we went out for an uncharted hike to a place she called, “The Toes.” Shockingly, the rock formation we were heading toward did look like toes. This hiking adventure contained a battle with vegetation we’ve never tackled before – extremely prickly seeds and we barely made it out!
Once we returned successfully, we celebrated ourselves; we ordered the FIRST EVER pizza to be delivered to Jen’s house! Mail still has to be picked up at the post office, but pizza now comes to your door at the reservation! Is this progress or a pitfall?
We spent the rest of the night relaxing, watching Sex and the City and helping grade some 3rd grade math papers. Marvelous!

I guessed that you were staying with a teacher. Oh good, you are getting in the practice of grading papers. I'll have you help with mine.
Love "The Toes" photos and the Hollywood history.
