Big trees and HEAT!!







Hey there – hope your 4th was good. We drove to Sequoia Nat’l Park on the third and camped for a couple days with Will and Heather and Greta and Josh.
The park is beautiful and we had great campsites. Luckily, the only bear we saw was from the car. A little hiking and cooling off in a mountain stream – followed by some hot dogs and smores at the campfire with the fam – doesn’t get better than this. We were even out of cell phone range!
Will kept us in firewood by doing some foraging. The afternoon walk through the stand of giant redwoods was awesome – puts things into a new perspective.
The park was even better than expected!


Next we drove to Sparks/Reno and checked into the Nugget Casino. Needless to say we all thoroughly enjoyed a shower and then went down to the casino for a little fun at the tables and slots – even a little karaoke bar. We hope to get back to Lake Tahoe during the next couple days. We’re in a heat wave here – 108 yesterday – 103 expected today – but it’s a dry heat – hehe. Motto for the day is keep hydrating!

How'd you get all that stuff in your cars? Even a table cloth -- nicely done! Looks like a red Coleman 2 burner stove and an ice chest full of cold ones.

So you found the SoCal version of fast food, did ya. Double Double was it? Best in the country.

I saved the picture of the 3 monkeys all dressed alike. Very -- uh, very amusing. That's it -- amusing.

Until next pictures.
