Happy 4th Everyone!!
Today we drove to Sequoia National Park. We drove through what seemed like 100 miles of Orange groves and grape farms. We got to Sequoia about 12 noon. We started our trip through the park from the South Entrance. We hiked a 2 mile hike to Tharp's Cabin, a small cabin in a hollowed Sequoia tree. The Sequoia's are huge! Then Dan and Scott did a quick run up Moro Rock's 400+ step to a spectacular view. We checked out Grant's tree (the third largest tree in the US) and exited the park at the west entrance in King's Canyon. We returned to Three Rivers, where we are staying tonight. On the drive home we saw a 6 inch tarantula crossing the road. Glad we're not camping! The back country here in the Sierra's is really interesting. Mainly cattle and horse ranges. Tomorrow we are off to San Francisco to stay with our friends, Stewart and Noreen, until Saturday.
Look Dad, I found some firewood!! (for the next 10 years!)
