Sequoia National Park - Day 2

First, we climbed 440 stairs to the top of Moro Rock.

elevation 6725'

Next. we drove up the mountain & looked up a burned Sequoia tree...

and saw the Buttress Tree...

Drove through Tunnel Log...

Saw the Parker Group

Then went to the Giant Forest Museum,

And saw a bear with 3 cubs eating Huckleberries...

This is a bad bear.  The meanest and scariest bear in all of Sequoia National Park.  She has an earring as well as a collar, which means she has two strikes against her for bad behavior...

 and the Sentinel Tree, an average size for a Sequoia tree...

Then walked around the Big trees Trail...

Ned by Ed...

around the meadow...

The Sequoias win if anything gets in their way...

 Last, we went to the General Sherman tree...

And walked through the trees...

And under a fallen tree...

Sequoia National Park - day 1

225 miles from home...

Winding roads through the foothills gain over a mile in elevation...

Moro Rock

The first giant trees...

Bear boxes are a real pain.

Looking down the hallway to the bedroom:)

Champion of the world...

Pyrex Autumn Harvest

My neighbor came over last month and saw my Pyrex shelf.  A few days later she said that she had some Corelle for me but she couldn't find it.  Today she gave me these...

Thank you Harriet:)
