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!!!

I really want to hear impressions of Kings Canyon. It is one of my very favorite places in the world and I loved being able to share it with others.

I loved Kings Canyon. So amazingly beautiful. I think I took about 100 or so photos (none of which do it justice). It was just amazing.

Capt Jack · 07-09-2007, 04:09 PM

that was truly amazing. I'd been there once before decades before, but mostly just fishing and hiking around the lake. 99% of that I'd never seen before. it was literally stunning/awe inspiring.

the only regret was I really wish we could have had time to hit that biga$$ cave we passed on the way in/out, but beyond that, to say it was worth the trip would be a criminal understatement

you did definitely seem to know your way around

Yes, I do. Everything is a mere 3/4 of a mile from everything else.

I just can't belive it's been a week since we exited. I wanna go back.

If you happen to be looking for the auto trail. Otherwise, be prepared to be off by 5.5 miles in any given direction.

My biggest impression of Kings Canyon was how much €uro and Not Afraid loved it and were at home there. Their joy was infectious, and the place was gorgeous.

I can't wait to go back.

Of course, the little book they gave me as a birthday present has a slew of desireable hikes in Sequoia, and only a couple in Kings Canyon. I think I need a barely-Spring-yet stay at the Waksachi Lodge with a visit to the Canyon before I get around to that certainly Springtime camping in the Canyon itself.

It must be fairly warm for me to camp out (and I must be fairly crazy), but I want to see me some Sierra in the wilds of just-past-winter.

I published my pictures!!! About time!

Here are a few drooley moments.

Disneyphile · 07-09-2007, 04:36 PM

We also loved KC, and I'd love to go back. I visited there with my parents 5 years ago, and we stayed at Cedar Grove. The river was gushing that year. I could have stared at the falls forever.

And, NA, I love the picture of the garbage scramble! Damn, that was one good breakfast.

innerSpaceman · 07-09-2007, 05:08 PM

The garbage scramble looks like some sort of digital graphic in that photo!

I can't believe something that 2-D tasted so damn good!
