Friday May 18th: After finally getting to the Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Park entrance we drove through to a picnic area for lunch and to let the dogs run on the leash for a few minutes. We had just finished eating when three tour buses filled with folks from France pulled up for their noon meal and potty break. Thank God our timing was good and we had finished so we piled back in the truck and drove on down to Grant's Grove where the "General Grant" Sequoia was located. It is reported to be the third largest Sequoia in the world, the first largest being the "General Sherman" at the other end of the NP. This picture is of Carolyn standing at the base of just a normal sized pair of Sequoia trees. I raised the camera and took a picture of the top so that we could get a perspective on the sheer size of these trees. The area was gorgeous.
We drove back by another route (CA180 to CA63) which was a scenic route through the fields of fruit trees. This is another "must see" NP.
