Two Days in Sequoia National Park!

After leaving the California Coast we headed East to Sequoia National Park. The park suffered last year from the KNP Complex Fire and many areas were closed for months. The firefighters actually wrapped General Sherman and many other sequoias with aluminum fire resistant blankets to protect them from the fires. As many as 2,300 giant sequoias burned to death or are expected to die as a result from the fire. This fire was caused by a severe lightning storm. Unfortunately many roads were closed from the fire or from a recent snow storm. There was still some snow and there…

Morro Bay, Wineries and California Highway 1!

We left Malibu and drove 2 hours North to Morro Bay known for Morro Rock an ancient Volcanic plug at the entrance of the harbor.

Three Days in San Deigo!

We left Temecula and headed South about an hour to San Deigo.  Some of the advertised “must sees” were bypassed so we could cover more areas.Our first stop was Coronado Island. We had intentions of riding the eBikes but the weather just didn’t cooperate! The island provided excellent views of the San Deigo skyline and we enjoyed exploring on foot.Our next stop was La Jolla, just north of the downtown area. This community is one of the prettiest coastal towns I have been to. The oceanfront is beautiful with tons of marine life. We also enjoyed the best tacos ever…
