Backpacking Sequoia NP (pic heavy)

[tknife]

Plugged my camera in and realize that half the "pics" I took weren't on there. The wheel must have gotten flipped to video So my pics of our camp and the lakes we visited are missing. Oh well, still have some cool shots, it's a learning experience for next time.

Saw a couple deer

This one was about 10 ft. from us

The little chipmunks come right up to you

The Watchtower is the whole reason I love this trail

The scale of the view is hard to capture in a pic

Gives me a feeling of vertigo near the edge

Roaring river way down there

There are about three stream crossings, I slipped into the second one and completely soaked my shoes.

Trail lunch, chicken salad on pita

Above 8000' there was still snow on parts of the trail

Wow! That is some stunning landscape! :thumbup:

Looking at your "vertigo" pic...I almost get the feeling that if I were there, I'd feel like a little bug on a big rock!

Thanks for sharing! -Matt-

looks like a nice trip.

bummer about the camera misbehaving...i have done that before and its the reason i don't like the cameras that have a little wheel like that...too easy to slip up.

but i have got into the habit of checking each time i take the camera out, so its not so much of a problem now...

The only thing I like about CA is the NPs. Yosemite, Kings and Sequoia are incredible. Your pics bring back a lot of memories. Thanks

Where did you camp? Emerald Lake or Pear Lake? I spent a few days hanging around Emerald Lake last year, it's a nice spot.

[Fallbrook Forge]

[Erasmus]

OK, so what was the sheath knife?

Great pics. Now, you "need" a Gransfors Bruks Mini
