Camping in Sequoia National Park...

This is not a fake background.
We took this on the Big Tree Trail 
The entrance to Sequoia National Park
Campsite 186 at Lodgepole
On the trail to Tokopah Falls
Even though it's low on water this year, Tokopah Falls
was worth the adventure to the falls
A cone from a Sequoia.
Every tree starts with the seeds from a cone like this
In front of the Sentinel Tree
What is in there?


Burn damage from a forest fire...
Saw my professor and good friend from APU,
Gary Lemaster at the General Sherman Tree.  
I mistook him for a National Park Forest Ranger
Gary Lemaster and a real National Park Forest Ranger
I don't think these guys made it...
The General Sherman Tree.
The largest tree in the world by sheer wood volume. 
Walking through the Congress Trail
A fallen Sequoia.
It shatters and takes down anything in it's path

A visit to Gracie's classroom for Open House and to Scotland...

The official entrance to Scotland...

Gracie's picture is in this Scottish castle...

Gracie's report on Eric Liddell.
"Oh, Chariots of Fire"..."No daddy, he didn't ride in a chariot, he ran"

This might be Gracie's future CIA name.
or since it's Scotland...MI6 name

Too much Barfi

Looks like a plan to storm the castle

Gracie's desk

Just like daddy.
Grace's natural reaction when she saw what I did with her name

Hey!  That's me!

Gracie's auditioning for the Travel Channel
