Largest Living Thing On Earth
And we saw it! It's the General Sherman tree, a giant sequoia. It's not that pretty to look at, but then again, neither would you be after 2,200 years! Incredible to think that it was living before Christ came to earth. It has the mass of four fully-loaded jumbo jets. This is a limb that fell less than a year ago. One gentleman remarked that maybe aliens came and planted these giant sequoias. That's California for you...
Andrew's favorite part of the park was the Four Guardsmen at the entrance to Giant Forest. Kings Canyon afforded us nice views as we drove in along the river and a walk around Zumwalt Meadow on which we stumbled upon three deer that bolted into the brush! After three national parks in the Sierra Nevada range, we are ready for something new.We stayed at the Visalia KOA. We opted for clean facilities and WiFi with a higher price and longer drive time to the parks. It was worth it! We have managed to keep current with our favorite TV show, LOST, and are 4 for 4 in watching the episodes live. While on the road, we have been listening to the RELEVANT podcast. Check it out.
