Happy Birthday Yoko!!
Last weekend Yoko and I drove 3 hours up north to the Sequoia National Forest for Yoko's birthday! Its all she wanted for her birthday so I couldn't refuse. Besides we have a brand new tent we hadn't even used yet. Around here all the hype is like Tahoe and especially Yosemite, (which IS stunning) so I hadn't heard much about Sequoia, but it turned out to be amazing. We went and saw General Sherman, a 2000 year old Giant Sequoia tree, the LARGEST LIVING THING IN THE WORLD and damn it was BIG. Pictures don't really do it any justice, seriously the branches at the top were as big as normal oak trees. I couldn't believe it. It was humbling.
This is just an average Giant Sequioa, not even as big as General Sherman.
With the blue blue sky reflecting into so many of the plants and rocks later in the afternoon the colors were absolutely stunning.
John Muir called this beautiful little meadow the "Jewel of the Sierra's"
Yoko shows a giant tree just how much she loves it.
These pictures honestly don't do it any justice. I had never seen a tree even close to so big before.
The water is a little swimming hole upstream from our camp site was sure, a bit cold. I came out screaming the first time I dived in. But the second time it started to feel reeeeeeeaaalllly refreshing and good, I swam with the trout and dived around for about 15 minutes. My skin was pretty cold and clammy for the next hour or so...
Yoko wasn't so keen on the refreshing frigid water. In and right back out!
