It needs to be repeated, so that I get a second crack at going!!

Okay, so some photos:

Visiting the General Sherman:

Cherny straddles some truly big wood:

More big wood:

They aren't kidding, btw... the walk back up from the Sherman tree is hard. Harder, even, than the walk up from Crystal Cave, IMHO, because it's at 7000 feet.

Campsite:

Gathering around the firepit:

Crystal Cave:

Photo doesn't do justice... this is white and sparkly - amazing:

Dude, what can you say?

This waterfall was down near the cave. I was the last one to "head up" after taking this picture:

Roz aka "The RAC":

Hiking to the Muir Grove begins:

So do the shenanigans:

Taking a rest break:

Euro was particularly photogenic at that moment:

Felt like we'd stepped into Lord of the Rings:

Frodo Potter has his own LOTR moment:

Chernabog contemplates man's insignificance in the universe:

So does everyone else:

Yup... it's a tree:

Oooooh... ahhh....

Yes, the giant sequoias are *big*

And Kevy knows big

I just like this:

Something magical about big trees, I swear

So magical, it floored us

This is why we did that:

"There are giants in the sky...." - Into the Woods

Tree gynecology

Told you they were big:

I *really* like this pic, for various artistic reasons:

Returning to a very zen Euro and Bornieo

It was about this point when I decided it might not be a good idea to continue lagging 100 feet behind the group, so I started hustling to catch up:

Amazing sunset:
