On Friday we drove to see the Giant Sequoias in Sequoia National Forest. These trees are incredible. In this grove is the General Sherman tree which is the largest living tree in the world. It is not the tallest or the widest tree but it is by volume the largest tree in the world. The top is dead but the trunk continues to live and each year it grows enough trunk to equal the size of another whole large tree. While we wandered around the grove, Adam used my camera to take pictures of the trees. He said "Mom, if we ever feel sad we can just grab the camera and look at the pictures of the trees."

Hey there,
ReplyDeleteChris and I just visited the largest tree in the world just like you. The pics are fabulous! Sounds like your camping adventures are going well. The camp stove is easier than you think, you should bust it out.
Have fun at Yosemite. My parents went tubing down the river and loved it. Tuollome Meadows and Glacier Point are awesome and worth the drive.
Have a great time!
Alicia and Chris
