White Water and Big Trees

Our arrival at Three Rivers, meant the humans were straight into a raft and off down the Kaweah River. I stayed in the van and waited for my American cousins to come out of the woods for a chat.

Once they had all dried off we found our overnight stop and settled in for a peaceful night. 
A quick brekkie and we were off to Sequoia National Park, up through the valley toward the Giant trees. A kindly Park Ranger soon explained that our 30ft RV was too big for the winding roads ahead and that we must turn around and head to the park from a different direction.
An hour later, along some windy, treacherous drops we arrived amongst the trees.
A short hike around The General Grant Tree (3rd largest tree in the world. 1700 years old) and it was time to say goodbye to the majestic giants of the forest and head back down the 7000ft to the valley. A supply and gas stop in Fresno before pushing onto Yosemite. 
A jaw dropping ride along the Merced River and we arrived at Indian Flats RV Park just in time for dinner.
Yosemite in the morning.
Night all. 
Fred.
