I took a recent vacation camping at Sequoia National Park. I'm a big believer in taking breaks now and again to refresh and reconnect with the world outside of work/law/etc. That's just what I got to do on my trip, although I had a bit of a stomach bug that I was fighting throughout... Anyway, the scenery was amazing, and I don't believe I've ever seen trees as big as those giant sequoias. I'll share a few photos in this entry:

We camped at the Dorst Creek campground which was fine, but I have to say car camping can be quite noisy. That can be a bummer. When we hiked along the Tokopah River Trail, we saw some amazing looking car camping sights behind the Lodgepole Visitor center. These sites went right along the Tokopah River, which was rushing at this time of year and would have drowned out any neighbor noises. Next year, I'll try to camp at those sites.
