Giant Sequoias

OK so this isn't the first time I had been to Sequoia, but I just didn't appreciate it enough when I was a kid. Back then the most interesting thing to me was the caves. Now that I'm older it's kinda like seen one cave, seen them all. I was more fascinated by the huge trees this time. The Sierras, and especially Sequoia, Kings Canyon, and Yosemite, all make the Southern California mountains look weak.

I bought a couple digital camo bandanas. Natalie of course said they look stupid until I put one on, then she decided she wanted to wear one too. Of course she didn't know how to put it on, so I had to show her how to sport a bandana.

Driving up to the Giant Forest

"General Sherman Tree" Largest tree on earth.

 Me at the base of The General Sherman Tree. My brother in law was suppose to get the whole tree, that is why I ran far away, but he zoomed in. Guess I ran for nothing. I'm gonna have to teach him how to use a camera!

Another large one. "The Sentinel". Natalie and I are standing in front of it.

Yes, even my dad's diesel F-250 fit through this fallen tree.

I'm trying to reach the top

Me on top of "Tunnel Log"

Moro Rock, from the bottom of the mountain.

This is called Manzanita. If you look at it full sized, it has really interesting red bark.
