Camping Trip To Sequoia With New Swiss Friends

Harmony Hill was only 45 minutes from Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. So with our new friends from Switzerland we took a weekend camping trip. It was great fun with many laughs and some great pics. 

Packing assistance


We picked up a book about John Muir who was instrumental in helping to get National Parks created. In 1903, on a three-day camping trip with President Theodore Roosevelt, he convinced the president of the importance of a national conservation program, and he is given major credit for saving the Grand Canyon and Arizona's Petrified Forest. He's also the founder of the Sierra Club and it's President until his death. Sounds like an interesting guy and we look forward to reading all about his adventures. Charly has also become a member of the Sierra Club. Yay!


Cool waterfall spray


Glarpa! Mix refried beans with whatever you have in the fridge plus cheese and you have a great dip...mmm tasty!

They're so cute.

Ahhhh Coffee!
Many a person loved me in the morning because of my handy dandy espresso maker.

WWOOFing in Exeter California

HARMONY HILL

Our first wwoofing experience. WWOOF=World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms. Interesting concept the volunteers get food and lodging in exchange for working on an organic farm.
