Trinidad, CA

We have made it to the reunion! It's been a great trip, and it feels like we have been away from home for a long time! Here's a quick overview of our travels:

* Canyonlands . . great wide-open spaces and a super quiet campground with awesome night skies!

* Great Basin NP - alpine lakes and bristlecone pines

* Great basin region - in Utah and Nevada - a "Sagebrush ocean" punctuated by mountain ranges.

* Ancient Bristlecone pines in the White/Inyo mountains.

* Giant trees and snow-capped mountains in Sequoia/Kings Canyon National Parks

* Grassy hillsides with scattered oak trees and chapparal in various parts of CA.

* Pinnicles National Monument was hot! . . we swam in a pool and had a nice hike the next morning.

* San Fran . . . Alcatraz, Muir Woods, Point Reyes National Seashore.
