Today is May 23, 2019.
We camped at the Sequoia National Park (May 20 and May 21) in the Potwisha campground for a couple of nights.
After setting up camp we drove up further into the park. It was a beautiful drive but did have some hairpin curves. The views were amazing!
Not far from the camp is Tunnel Rock. This is the rock that you use to drive through but now that part of the road is closed.
At around 5000 and 6000 ft we started seeing the huge Sequoias. Here are a few pics.
Absolutely amazing!
The next morning we drove to the visitors center to find out about the road conditions on up to the General Sherman tree. The park ranger said the roads were open.
Glenn overheard a young man ask about the shuttle but the shuttle was not going to start running for a couple of days. We felt badly for the young family because they were in a big class A rv. There was no way they could drive their rig up the mountain. Glenn ask the young man if they would like to ride with us, so they did.
The couple and their three children live in Charlotte but we're from the Ukraine. They are a sweet family and also Christains. We had a fun time with them.
It was snowy so we didn't see the General Sherman tree but viewed numberous big trees around the Sequoia Museum and visitors center.
Yesterday we drove to Fresno. We had a turn signal light to go out on Ruby so we had to find a Retro dealer to order a part.
We continued our travels toward Kings Canyon but since it was getting late, we found a Corp of Eng camp for the night.
Today we made it to Kings Canyon and walked a little ways to view the General Grant tree. It was a snowy trail but paved trail. The trees are magnificent!
Since the fog was rolling in, we decided to stay in the park. We have heat and water so we should be fine. Temps will not be freezing tonight.
