Mariposa Grove

Today we went to the Mariposa Grove it is the largest grove of giant sequioas in Yosemite some of the bases of the trees are up to 30ft in diameter.  The whole warm weather thing we have been hoping for not so much yet. Today they are all frieking out about the rain they are getting.  I am having a very hard time convincing everyone that california does have good weather and we will not have to wear our coats the entire vacation.

This is mom she now is wearing the following items in sunny Cali. Coat, gloves, scarf,hat and now wrapped in a blanket.

This is us at the tunnel tree.

This is one of the trees that hasfallen. It is referred to as the fallen monarch.

This is a portion of the root system of the fallen monarch.  Check out the man standing in front of it so you can put into perspective the size of this thing.

These are called the bachelor and three Graces.

These are just some pics of the grove

This is the Grizzly Giant.

This is us at a really cool wood carving place just outside of Yosemite.
