GC and I also witnessed the Amish. GC was out on the trail while I stayed in the parking lot with Thurston. An enormous bus pulls into the lot and about 40 Amish people emerge, walking in pairs to see the giant trees. The bus was from somewhere in Ohio and it's dash was decorated with garlands of red silk roses.

Later, while in the Giant Forest, I tried to take a nap but the symphony of international languages surrounding me was too wonderful to not keep cracking open my eyes and looking around me.

Silly me, I was looking for the horses and buggies in the parking lot. I didn't think they'd take a bus.

I love them ... they made my entire side trip to Grant's Grove so fantastic.

I think they were Mennonites.
Amish don't use modern modern modes of transportation...
Not sure though.
