Trip to the West Coast 6

July 10th
This is a (very hot) day just to relax: pool, petting farm and gem hunt at the campground, shopping, campfire w/ marshmallows and s'mores (o.k. this is not the whole truth, of course there is laundry, cooking, cleaning...)

July 11th
Again Yosemite! This time we explore the giant sequoias of Tuolumne Grove. These giants are so majestic and its unbelievable that people carved one to drive through!! Nontheless we pose for a picture in it:

We leave Yosemite National Park through the north. This part of the park is at least as beautiful as the valley (and less crowded).

The weather is quite warm but not too hot so that we walk around a bit and enjoy this beautiful scenery. Then we drive east southwards. After a great scenic drive through the Sierra Nevada we arrive at Mammoth Lakes and stay at a big RV park.
