Vacation

Visited cousin Bill's house for the first time. Very nice place. His wife is the Greatest.

The three of us went to King's Canyon Nat'l Forest and saw the General Grant sequoia and many other big redwoods. I got cellphone pics of the Gen. Grant tree.

Wore the batterie out on the phone taking about seven pictures. Got a shot of the Grant tree AKA The National Christmas Tree, the scar on the back of the tree caused by lighying, the Oregon, California trees roo. Think I got a pic of the Monarch tree too; A hollowed out, fallen redwood that the Army once used as shelter from the elements.

There was a tour bus filled with French people visiting Gran's grove when we were there.

The next day we went to Shaver Lake. Bill's wife didn't go with us, but cousin Tom did. This time we spent the night in a beautiful cabin near the lake. We went to man-made lakes even high in altitude than Shaver, all owned by So. Cal. Edison. We drove through a company town too.

Took off on Sept. 11. Got home a about 3:00 today.

Great time up in the High Sierra's. great visit with Bill and his wife. Good to see Tom again too.

I'll post my pics as soon as I learn how to find and email them to myself from my newer phone. And whenever I get around to recharging the goddamn batterie. I'll post them all below.

Upfuckindate:
"You didn't 'save' the pictures you took, dumb ass", my sister tells me over the phone.

So I figured out how to save pics, then how to email them. I took this one of Biscuit on the kitchen floor:


Shit. I'll never get another chance to visit the big trees. I hate you Verizon bitches and your camera phones.

Showing off my homegrown.
