Chilling out at Kaweah RV Park - Near Sequoia NP

How about this for a charming RV park?  That's our RV in the background, Barbara in the foreground, and a fork of the Kaweah River rushing by on the right.  Not a bad place to pass time mellowing out. 
Sequoia NP is only 8 miles away, but to get to the Sequoias you have to drive almost an hour up a very twisty winding road, up into the snow.  There are an enormous number of the sequoias to be seen in what is called the Giant Forest and more in other stands in the park.  We went briefly yesterday because we had to be back at the RV park by 2 p.m. to get a flat tire on the RV fixed!  (Turned out not to be a serious problem.)
Another piece of data about Sequoia NP:  Mount Whitney, the highest peak in the continental U.S., is located at the edge of Sequoia NP.Today is rainy and we're doing grocery shopping (Walmart, of course) and other errands in the nearest town.

  1. What a lovely park and what a great spot you chose. Be sure and leave the Starbucks waitress in the foreground a nice tip.
