Tree-bound Escape Plan

Well, the summer is coming to a close, and Geoff and I have been feeling like we have done mostly work, and very little play. ...which, I suppose, is how it will be for most of our..adult.. lives, but I don't like it one bit! I need my play time, and summer is the best time for playing. So, we've planned a little vacation for ourselves.

Next week, I've taken 4 days off so that Geoff and I could drive up to King's Canyon/Sequoia National Park. We are going to camp out there Monday - Thursday. Neither of us have been there before, (as far as I can remember anyway...) so I am quite excited. There is a tree there called the "General Sherman" that is supposed to be the largest living thing on the planet! I definitely intend to bring my camera.

Geoff and I bought a big cooler that can hold all our food for 4 days, so we can bring everything with us instead of buying things in the park that will probably cost way more. We are going to try to camp at the campground called "Cold Springs". There are no RVs or trailers allowed, and that is what we like.

I don't know how the climbing is out there, so we probably won't be doing much of that. Most of what I've heard is of large rock faces for Trad Climbing only, and with just the two of us, it's probably safer if we stick to the smaller rocks and just do some Bouldering, if we can find any. I definitely want to check out their Crystal Caves as well..

I can't wait!
