Today was split between traveling and sightseeing...from Edwards AFB, CA to Vasilia, CA.  Our sightseeing portion of the trip was to Sequoia National Park, the southern portion, which took us on a 124 mile journey into a remote area of the park.  Our exploration took us up a winding, one to one and one half lane road UP and DOWN and UP and UP, until we turned around and came DOWN, and DOWN and UP and DOWN hanging on the side of the mountains edge.  Jim was sitting on the gear shift at times to keep from slipping over the steep enbankment!  Here are the pictures from today's exciting adventure!
