The first stop was at the north western corner of Zion. This was just a small amount of what we would see the next day. We got there and drove up to Kolab Canyon that evening before going to the main part of the park tomorrow. I keep saying that just one more hill or mountain should not be that different and God keeps showing me how artistic and imaginative he is. These red mountains that just rise from the ground with flat tops are amazing and not like any...

Today we spent the day in the presence of God's biggest trees in the world. I just keep thinking, what is one more big tree. But, then I see them, they are so massive that I forget I wasn't going to be over impressed. According to the brochure, the redwood trees grow taller but these are bigger around. I think these seems just as tall as the redwoods, but then again when you only stand as tall as 1/57th of the total height they all seem super tall. To get...

I have very much enjoyed seeing all the national parks and the beautiful wonders of God. But, I must admit, there is a part of me that is a city girl too. I was so excited to go into San Francisco and it did not disappoint. We started by driving over the Golden Gate Bridge and then driving downtown. I was a little leery, but we made it just fine and it was actually a pretty easy city to get in and out of. I was amazed because the man camping next to us to...

The redwoods are big, I don't mean just a little big, I mean like over the top Paul Bunyan huge. The trees are the tallest trees in the world, they grow to heights of about 350 feet tall and have a diameter of 26ft. The seeds are about the size of an olive. The trees grown in southern OR and northern CA only and no more then 25 miles inland. I am sure this is because of the weather which I will tell you about in a minute. Dang, I sound like a teacher try...

Have not had any internet for the past several days so was not able to write, but I am back. We spent 2 days traveling down the coast of Oregon. I love the beach, but it was really beautiful. The beaches were very wide and flat and would be several miles long for a good walk. Then there would be beautiful rock ledges that were just beautiful to look at. The weather along the beach was a little cool, not really cold but windy and cool enough for a jacket....
