More trees and sunny sweetness!

For someone growing up in a colder northern country I was very
 happy indeed to meet with these trees . I've never seen a living orange  ,
and that made my day , that day .

Another Great Tree.

We drove on long, windy roads to the Sequoia National Park ,
 and met with the second largest tree in the park,the' General Grant'.
The Sequoia are the largest living tree on earth and they can get as old as 3,200 years !
It was only 4 degrees up here , and plenty of snow.


The General Grant !

The next day we met with quite a change in nature .
Just before entering Nevada desert land took over .

That made us aware of the sad fact that  the air-conditioning
in the car was broken !
Long days driving in a heated car does not do good for
a sometimes  impatient traveler.....

But hopefully this is something that can be fixed in Las Vegas ,
 because that's our next stop .
That'll be my second time in Vegas within 6 months ,who would have thought?

  1. I love Sequoia National Park. Looks like it was a bit early in the season. Don't forget to go see the London Bridge in Lake Havasu!
