Las Vegas was AMAZING but HOT! We have finally escaped the heat of Vegas and Zion.
While in Sequoia, we got an amazing opportunity to give back to the National Park by doing a couple of hours of service on a trail in need of repair. We learned how to fix water bars properly and even the correct technique for chopping wood. After, we enjoyed an awesome lake called Lake Hume to relax and cool off in.
The next morning we found ourselves amongst the incredible Sequoia trees. Here we posed for a picture with the largest one by volume called the General Sherman.
After leaving the trees we headed out to Yosemite for a two day climbing adventure; our guides said we were the best group they ever had. Every one did a great job climbing and some of us worked at conquering our fear of heights.
Bocci ball has become a favorite in the evening while dinner is being made. Hector was the champion for a while, but Branden and Mike are making their ways to the top ranks.
At our campsite outside of Yosemite we found some snow to have a little snow call fight at 10,600 feet above sea level, from 110 degrees to 10,000 feet and snow in three days! Later that night we enjoyed our evening meeting at the incredible Mono Lake as the sun set.
Everyone is doing well and appreciated all the goodies at the last mail stop. We are on our way today to start our overnight white water rafting trip and everyone is very excited.
Till next time…
Regards,
Lindsay and Bold West 1B
