Another really cool place we visited, which was quite similar to the Redwoods, was the Sequoia National Park. This time, though, it wasn't just our family. After a long time with just family, we went to Sunday night service in Fresno, California, and met up with our friend Damar Randle! The following day, we decided, on a spur of the moment decision, to invite him to come along with us to see the Sequoias!
|
My parents were in the front... |
|
...and thanks to my escort, we followed behind. :) |
|
It was a cool park, with plenty of trails to walk. |
|
I FINALLY saw... a bear! |
|
This tree had been burned in the split. |
|
Damar knows where it's at: wearing a Missouri shirt (note the word "superior") at a California park. |
|
This was a cool, old cabin. |
|
I loved the abundance of wildlife on our trip! |
|
You could get so close to the animals without spooking them |
|
Plus, who doesn't like deer? |
|
It's hard to realize just how big this is, but it's a double tree! |
|
Jump shot! |
|
General Sherman! |
|
A hollow tree, with Kendra standing in front for perspective :) |
|
I loved the trails and the sun! |
|
Pinecone! |

|
Serious Damar! |
|
Just a standard Sequoia. These trees are phenomenal. |
|
Another trail shot. |
|
So tall! |
|
The road went right along the trees, winding in and out. The trek down from the mountain was insane, and a little hard on the brakes. :P |
|
Here's a shot up the tree with a burned hole in it. |
This was a very fun trip, especially because Damar was able to come along! Definitely can't wait to visit California again... and I'm sure Damar agrees! :) That's all for now!
