Today we got up early, had breakfast, and began an all day road trip to Sequoia National Park. A 160 mile one way trip. Made the trip with no issues in the trucks. As you can see from the pics, there was sneaux on the mountains. Did not really expect to get into the snow, but we really did. The park was beautiful this time of the year. The Giant Trees of the park were awesome. General Sherman is reported as the largest tree in the world. Not the tallest, but the largest in the estimation of board feet contained in the tree. It's annual growth equals the size of a good size tree. We drove up to 7000 ft elevation in the Park. The views were undescribeable across the valleys, canyons, and mountain tops. Road work was under way on part of the road with a 20 minute wait. Viewed the "Bears of Sequoia" film at the Lodgepole Visitors Center. Made the trip back down and back to Sierra Trails RV Park. Had dinner at Barbie's Primo Burgers in Mojave. Back to the RV a little later than normal.
