Evening all from Bear Country! So today we made it to Sequoia National Park (in one piece thanks to Marks skillful driving!) and the amazing scene of snow peaked mountains, alpine rivers, grass meadows and home of the largest living tree on the planet, the big man 'General Sherman' which Mark affectionately refers to as 'Big G'!!! Loser! Anyway, after worrying that we had driven all this way only to be turned away (they had a supposed maximum entry limit of 22...

Greetings campers, So upon departing the bright lights of Vegas and heading for Yosemite (eventually reaching Yermo) not a great deal of interest happened...

Along the way, about 30 miles prior to Vegas we passed over the Hoover Dam (following a bomb search of the RV by the US authorities).
