Visalia Elks & Two More National Parks - October 27, 2015

After staying in 5 Thousand Trail parks, for 5 days each, we are changing things up a bit. We have moved inland 153 miles, to the Elks Lodge in Visalia, CA.

We have 50 amps and water here for $20.00 a night,

and we are close to Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. We are staying here for 4 nights. We will be able to visit the parks while we are here. We were at Sequoia a couple of years ago, but Kings Canyon will be new. Later on, we have plans to meet up with our Escapees Christian Fellowship group for a rally to Death Valley NP.

It was a 150 mile loop we drove and we entered Sequoia NP first. A couple of quick pics as we passed the entrance.

The 'Sentinel' at the visitor center.

We headed to the General Sherman Grove where we hadn't been before. Love these awesome trees. The General Sherman Sequoia tree is the largest tree in the world, 52,000 board feet of lumber all in one tree. We walked our little legs off on all the trails through-out these giants.

Pretty cool park.

We drove through the park and right into Kings Canyon NP.

Besides all the great views, the General Grant Grove was where we were headed.

Here is a big dead one.

And a bunch of trails and big trees.

This was the 'big boy' in this park.

Love theses big old forests.

The weather is starting to cool off a bit. With the highs now in the 70s, we are going to start doing a bunch of boondocking.

Smellin' the roses!
