Kinetic Sculpture Race!
Photos! As promised Dad.
So I've made my first pilgramage to the Mecca of Arcata since I moved away in December. I forgot how nice it is up there- crazy races, quaint farmer's market, gorgeous river 45 minutes up the road...lovely.
If you don't know about this race, read up- it's pretty whacky awesome.
I lived in Arcata for four years and never saw this crazy race. I come back over Memorial Day as a visitor with Glenn and we find ourselves among a pack of sculpture followers out at the dunes watching the these crazy kinetic contraptions go down "dead man's gulch." Such a great event, it'd be so fun to be in it wouldn't it?...

Hey, that river looks familiar! But where is the naked painted baby?
Your kinetic scupture photos are awesome. I'm sorry I missed it. Next year, you should build your own!
I know, we were missing the naked baby, and I would love to make a kinetic sculpture, I don't think it's as easy as it looks? wait, it doesn't look easy. But so much fun! I'm going to try and convince CCAT to get one made with a class project, wouldn't that be swell?
