On our way down to LA and to visit Michelle and our last night in the RV we stopped in at the Giant Sequoia Forest. We should have planned our time a little better because we did not get there until the afternoon and did not realize that there was quite a bit of area to see...so with our time limits and tired of driving we only went to the one main area that had a path to see all the trees.
The trees were amazing how large they are. There was a fire in the area awhile back and one of the signs posted said that a fire can burn inside the tree for 7 days before entering the outside...that is one large tree to do that!
These are at the roots of a very old tree that fell many many years ago. You could walk all the way through it. The end is the below picture.
We held our hands out to see how big the trunk of the tree really is. :)
Its hard to capture the size of them. This picture you can barely see Mark holding his hands up and the kids next to him. They look so little. :)
Mark held down the camera and we all stuck our heads in this picture trying to get the top of the tree. :)
Our quickest way out of the forest to LA we were told was not a very scenic route (the other option was all windy forest roads that would have taken us forever). We decided quicker was better. The person who told us it was not scenic was very wrong...it ended up that we drove through a valley and it was both myself and Marks favorite drive of the trip. There were fields and orchards throughout...peaceful.
I really enjoy this photo I took. It was a random lonely barn on our drive out.
