Troop Beverly Hills

This past weekend Scott and I along with Scott's old roommate David and his wife Shannon went on a fabulous trip to Sequoia National Park to go camping. I'm not one to camp on a regular basis or at all, but I have camped before so I definitely went into the weekend with an open mind and lots of wine! :)

We arrived on Friday night and immediately set up camp and opened the double bottle of wine. Once we finished that bottle the boxed wine was opened. We end up hanging out with the couple camping next to us and keeping other people around us up til 1am. Oops! It was a good time though.

Well those same people we kept up the night before woke us up the next morning bright and early. I guess that's karma for you. We get up eat breakfast and decide which trail to attack in the morning. Scott, Shannon and I tackle the 1.6 mile trek up to a waterfall. Sadly David didn't come because dogs were not allowed on the trails. Why would you allow dogs in the park if they couldn't go on the trails. We thought it was ridiculous.



My hiking outfit. :)

So about half way up to the waterfall the rubber on the bottom of my hiking boots started falling apart. Now a little background. I have had those shoes since 8th grade. They got me through high school and college so I was in a bit off shock that this was actually happening. So Scott rips the bottom of the shoes off so I can still walk. Thank god there was still some rubber there so I could still make the hike. 

So we make it back down the hill to the campsite and set out for an afternoon of sightseeing. Sequoia National Park is know for it's big ass Sequoia trees. It is also home to the biggest tree in the world. I'm going to tell the story of the afternoon with pics.

This is the Car Tunnel. We did drive the car through but this pic is way more fun!



This pic was taken halfway up Moro Rock.

This is at the top of the rock. There is one small railing between me and the edge of the rock, scary!

Moro Rock from the road. It is seriously high up there



Scott at the waterfall. At this point in the season there was only a trickle of water. We have to come back in April/May to see lots of water.



Saturday night we listened to the Auburn game on David's XM radio from his car. It was very 1950s listening to a game and not watching but we won! War Damn Eagle! We continued to drink our boxed wine and had a great time around the fire.

Sunday morning we packed up and headed out. I rode back to LA with David and Shannon because Scott had to go to Stockton, CA for the first few days of the week.

Well I think the camping weekend was a success and I think we will go on another trip soon!
