Contessa on the road: Day 2. Sequoia National Park.

First of all, the weather here is perfect. Last night was the first night we slept with the windows open, a nice breeze and listening to the rush of the river was outstanding. I also want to mention, I am writing this from the IPAD which is not easy, I will fix any errors when I have an Internet connection. Also, I will be adding pictures as well. We have some amazing pictures which I want to share.

We visited Sequoia National Park today. Ed and I rode with Mike and Rosie, as they are too young for the geezer pass, which I have. There were four vehicles making the winding twisty road in the park. We tried to time the ride in to avoid the 30 minute delay of road closure, darn it we just missed getting through, but as usual this group made the best of it while waiting. We made it to the General Sherman tree, which is considered the largest living tree in the world because of it's volume. The hike down was a bit steep and we were not looking forward to the hike back up until we discovered there is a parking lot right below the tree. The guys were kind enough to hike back up the trail to get the vehicles and pick up US women. While waiting we found out there was a shuttle that takes you from lot to lot!!! Wish they made this a bit clearer before all that hiking. We proceeded to the Lodge where we had lunch before the long long winding road back out. Fortunately for our vehicle we missed the road we were suppose to take, we later found out that road was the road from hell. We thought we were lost until Rosie got her GPS on her phone up and running to guide us back. We got back to camp after an eight hour day. We had appetizers and adult beverages to top off the day.

Tomorrow is a free day,some will play golf, not sure about the rest of us but I can assure you, WE are taking a break from riding in vehicles. Thursday we are going to Kings Canyon another long day. The scenery is so spectacular it is worth the Long days.

I may try to find a connection tomorrow to post pictures and correct mistakes...

Until Next Time.......

Waiting for the road to open.
