We left the open house at Christa and Zack’s place and headed to Three Rivers to spend the night just outside Sequoia National Park. The next morning it started raining and rained pretty much the whole time we were driving through the big trees.
Passing where I used to always stay, at the Gateway Lodge and Restaurant.
Heading up.
We sat here for about a half-hour – there were two or three tree removal road blocks along the way.
Evidence of some of the most recent fires.
Like walking through a cloud.
Our goal was to make it to General Grant, which we did, and beyond. There it is, in the center-back.
