We are at Sequoia National Park. Kent got to drive some wonderful curly mountain roads to get us here. We are about 6 miles into the park and will have to go the rest of it in the car. They have a major construction project going on the Generals highway that goes through. It is limited to one lane and 22 ft vehicles. Oh well, might be more enjoyable in the car anyway. Camp is heavily wooded and just 40 or so sites. There are warnings about black bears everywhere. They have some pretty impressive pictures of bear:car break-ins. Fortunately, seems they haven’t quite figured out motorhomes yet! We probably will not see one though, its pretty early spring for them.
We do have very noisy mini-bears (squirrels) that have this annoying sharp little bark and are pretty persistent. They are accompanied by some raucous acorn woodpeckers that seem to be defending territory much of the time. Hummm, the desert was sure quiet! The mule deer munched their way through the middle of camp several times. They seem to really like some of the understory that grows here. They are always fun to watch
