Sequoia National Forest

This layout was done using a quick kit from CK scrapbooks magazine.

The Merced River, Yosemite Falls, view of Half Dome, and Jim at the base of Yosemite Falls.

These pictures were taken in the parking lot of the Grand Sierra Resort! It was an awesome experience.

USMC Helicopter Reunion in Reno

9 different helicopters landed in the south parking lot of the convention hotel. All the pilots and crew posed for a picture on stage at the closing banquet. Jim is in several pictures with Tom Hewes, Lt. Col.

Ferns

I felt like we were in a time warp with these huge ferns and giant trees.

Gen. Sherman

The largest sequoia known, also at the bottom of a half mile hike. The second smartest thing I did today was to wimp out and catch a shuttle back to the top where our car was parked. The smartest and at the same time dumbest was to wimp out on a cave trip this morning. It was a 45 minute drive to the cave, a 20 minute hike down hill and an hour tour of the cave. The walk back to the car was the equivalent of climbing 30 FLIGHTS OF STAIRS!!! Do you think we did this? Of course not, so why did we buy the tickets? Dumb Dumb Dumb
