Wonderful!

I was at Giant Forest last September, so I am familiar with the changes there. I can remember staying in a (now gone) campground that was just yards from Gen Sherman when I was a kid.

iSm, thanks for sharing your POV. You tell a wonderful story!

My leg's scabbing finally. It's just beyond gross.

Ahhhhhh, camping. It was such a great time! I'm sorry my ankle pooped out. I have been loving the fact that I have the stamina to actually do these hikes. I don't like being a wimp, but considering I still hurt, it's probably a good idea I didn't push I any further. Zumwalt was probably a stretch.

Now, ISM, can you please recapture the rest of the trip?

kinda what I was hoping for, yeah. since this was my first real vacation in 4 or 5 years, it definitely set something off inside me that has had me craving more.

now, getting out and away is all I seem to think about.
I blame my bosses. they "forced" me to take time off...now, they have indeed created a monster.

Kara and Traci made it to Selma on Monday night before abandoning their journey home. They got a room at a Best Western (after slipping the clerk $20 to accept a very dirty Palfry) and left the car at a dealer. They rented a car on Tuesday and drove home. The car has started a month long stint in the Selma rehab. It was a very long and not very enjoyable trip for them.

you mean the part where I wandered into the ladies toilet? yeah, lets not.

But they'll have one hell of a story to tell for years to come about the time they had their car towed UP a mountain and then towed DOWN the mountain!

Thank you so much for sharing your story!

Lisa, I think it is best you didn't push your ankle, too. I told the Hubster that I was on vacation and I wasn't there to push myself too hard.

Capt Jack~no shiet. The Hubster, this morning, his first day back at work, calls me and tells me that we can book a getaway to Big Bear Lake {or someplace else, I forget}. I am thinking I really want to go book the train into the Grand Canyon....we haven't even finished unpacking our stuff from this last trip, haven't printed up pictures from the March trip, I could go on. So, join the club.

And, finally, how could I be remiss in being so eager to hear the tales of the trip that I haven't wished iSm a

Very Happy belated Birthday!!!
