Big Trees



Tuesday morning we left the OC and headed into LA traffic. Finding yourself in bumper to bumper traffic is inevitable, even though we precisely timed it out to avoid the morning, lunch, mid-afternoon, and evening traffic. The wait wouldnt have been so bad if it hadnt been for the view of smog that surrounded us and blocked any chance of scenery of the city or the mountains. At first we couldnt tell if it was clouds or smoke, two cleaner alternatives. Finally, after getting out of the traffic, Marc got to get his first 'In and Out Burger' experience. Truly amazing as always and curing any hangover one might have left over from the previous night's poker/drinking gathering.



After hearing about the absurb amount of bears that bother you while camping in the Sequoias, we opted out of the tent idea and got a sketchy hotel in Porterville, CA. On our way there, we passed every citrus tree imaginable, to the point where if there was a game called 'name that fruit tree', we would master it.


Sequoia National Park was typically what we expected, lots of really big trees, some amazing views, a drive through tree that our car couldnt fit through and some really windy roads.
