We saw a bear. Really, here it is. It was dark so couldn't get a good photo. |

Time for some gambling... |
I won! not |

Giant sequoias. Pictures don't do them justice. |

This one was hollow and had fallen a long time ago |

We thought this was going to be a vertical tree, not a fallen one. What a silly thing when you think about it, driving through a tree... |

A hike out to an overlook. Very cool. |

The tree itself. Hard to capture in a picture. |

A billboard near the really upscale, fancy, nice motel we stayed in. It's Goat Time! |

The aforementioned motel. |

Fresno, in all it's glory |

Merged images made from smaller images. Next time we'll have to go to the actual canyon, these are just side trips. Heh.
