Today, we drove what seemed like many miles east to the Sequoia National Forest. We drove up and down and around the mountains, Our GPS nearly exploded. There were so many hairpin curves, that it kept recalculating because it thought we had made a wrong turn. It got so confused, it would tell us to turn right where there was no road, just a clift. Then it would tell us to turn left, where there was only a mountain side. Finally we just turned it off. We checked in at the Lake Isabella KOA campground and will spend two nights here.
Friday, May 5th.
We left our campsite this morning for an adventure in the Southern Sierra Nevada Mountains. The landscape here looks just like you would see in an old western movie. John Wayne, Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, Humphrey Bogard and Robert Mitchum stared in movies made in this area. Driving higher in the mountains, we arrived in the land of snow.
Before long we came to the "Trail of 100 Giants". That is giant Sequoias. They are the largest living thing on earth.
Below is a picture of what people around here like to do. If you look closely, you will see a man in a one person canoe going down the river. He looked like he was having fun just like the surfer guys we saw a few days ago. I still think I will enjoy that fun from the sidelines
Tonight, back at the campground, the staff served us ice cream. In the morning we will head for the Mother Road, Route 66.
