We started out in Bakersfield at the famous Zingo’s Cafe…what an amazing breakfast – huge helpings with a healthy dose of hospitality.
Then we headed north to the Sequoia National Forrest, about a 3 hour ride, the temperature went from 104 degrees at the base of the Sierra mountains to 72 degrees in the groves of the Sequoias…amazing,
The Sequoia seeds are tiny, about the size of your pinky’s finger nail, this jar contains approximately 91,000 seeds. One tiny seed grows to be a giant – intelligent design at work? I’d say at its’ best!
Next, we hiked in to see the largest tree on earth – we were both struck with awe!
We had planned to end our day at Fresno, but couldn’t find a hotel. We drove from hotel to hotel (4 total) in 102 degree weather looking for a room, all rooms were sold out for the Fresno State v Nebraska game…we should have known. So, we had to travel north to Merced, Cali to find a room. We are all settled in and Dad is falling asleep as I type this blog.
Tomorrow, on to the Redwood trees (Redwood trees are the tallest and Sequoias are the largest) north of San Francisco.
Keep the comments coming…Dad and I enjoy keeping in touch.
I love keeping up with you two on the blog; I know you’re worn out in the evenings, but thank you for posting! Your pictures are great, but most of them are showing up sideways though. Is it just my iPad? Anyway, I just lay down my iPad and then turn it.
I loved the pictures with the trees today! And all those tiny seeds were impressive in their potential!
If you pass any vineyards or orchards tomorrow, I’d love to see pictures of those!
I miss you and love you much!
