Some mangy dog stole Liv's slipper outside our tent at the Friend's RV Park. And, thankfully a toothless man with a 400 lb wife rescued the slipper and proceeded to tell us about said wife and her digestive problems. This creeped us out so we stashed the tent and hit the road for Sequoia National Park.
The ride through rural California was scenic and the GPS gave us a nice detour through some citrus farm roads. We entered Sequoia National Park on fumes and managed to secure a site at Lodgepole Campground. The site was nice but we were sandwiched between a massive Korean family with absolutely horrible children. I don't mean to enforce a stereotype, but the family honestly ate rice continuously from 7AM until about 1:30PM.
We hiked to the Sherman Tree, the largest tree on Earth, then made our way around other famous Sequoia's. The trees are massive and enormously beautiful.
I took off for a trail run from the tent, planning on running through the Sequoias but I ended up getting lost and encountered a group of horses making their way down the trail. I ducked out of sight of the riders before they saw me, but the horses got startled and stampeded their way around a bend, nearly getting out of the control of the handlers.
In the evening the temperature quickly dropped and my cleansing swim in the Tuckaho Stream was colder than I'd hope. Today was a quality day and much more enjoyable being removed from the filth of Vegas and the desert.
