On The Road Again

It's 5 am and I'm packed and ready to go! I kinda feel like a kid at Christmas. Trevor is still in bed because originally I said we should leave at 6 am. The drive takes about 4 hours to actually get to the park. One of my bosses suggested we have breakfast at We Three Bakery, in Three Rivers, CA. I looked up the bakery on Yelp and a few people had some harsh words to say. I guess I'll have to judge for myself.

What's a road trip without the appropriate music? The playlist I've started has mostly country music, which seems appropriate for being on the open road. But were headed to the forest, so feel free to leave some other suggestions! Ill continue to add to it throughout the year, but in the mean time, enjoy.

Vintage Postcards Of Sequoia

I've always been a sucker for epherma.

(the logging truck breaks my heart)

The Moon Is My Chandelier, The Road My Estate

Trevor and I leave tomorrow for both Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park. I havent been in over a decade, which is a shame. I used to go to YMCA camp there every year, which are my last real memories of being in the park. I can already smell the dust, the fresh air, and the pine needles. I'm looking forward to seeing these magnificent trees and this wilderness that exists in such close proximity to Los Angeles.

(Im not even sure if the above picture is in Sequoia. I sorta got obsessed with finding vintage postcards of these giant trees and will put them up in my next post)

Lodging alternatives to camping that are in the park.

Some random guy's hiking blog with good pictures of hiking trails within both parks.
