Hello Everyone,
Morning came quickly!! I was up and ready to explore the area. There was a heavy fog/mist over the area.
I start out driving around the Visalia area. All of this area is known as the gateway to the Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks. This is area is loaded with many, many farms....most were orchids....It was a nice area. As I was making my way to Kings Canyon- when I discovered Exeter, CA. This quaint little town was great. There were many buildings with painted murals depicting the history of the area. It was very interesting walking around town - getting pictures of all of them.
For more info on the area see: http://www.visitvisalia.org/

Once I made it into the National Park I found a lot of snow- the snow was higher that my SUV!! I made it to the giant Sequoias. These giants are something to behold!!! You will see in a couple of pictures a person standing at the base of the tree. This person was about my height 5'7", so you can have an idea of how big these trees are!!! Its hard to really get the full sense of the size of these huge trees!!! There is one that is down and hollowed out- you can actually walk through the interior of this tree!! If you ever get to this area This National Park is a must see!!!!!!!
By evening I found myself in Santa Maria for the night. I stayed in a local motel...will look for a camp area in the morning.
I hope you enjoy the pictures.
