PICTURES OF OUR EARLIER ADVENTURES

Here are several pictures from our adventure earlier this year.

We stayed a several days in Lake Havasu, AZ. We stayed at a nice state park and this was the view from our front yard. Every evening we had a beautiful sunset.

Lake Havasu is a reservoir and its water comes from Colorado River. The lake is 45 miles long.



For a $3 round trip ticket we took a 17 minute ferry boat ride across the lake to California. It drops you off at the Havasu Landing Casino that is owned by Native Americans.

You can see the California shore off in the distance.

Since we don't gamble we walked a couple of blocks and had lunch at a cute little restaurant.



Here was our front yard in Lemon Cove, CA. It was a Corps of Engineer Park. We stayed here while visiting Sequoia National Park.

We were mostly by ourselves at Lake Kaweah Horse Creek Campground and look at this view we had with Lake Kaweah.

Sequoia NP is a bit over 404,000 acres. The park is famous for its giant sequoia trees.

We got to see the General Sherman. It is among the tallest trees at 275 ft. a width of more than 100 ft. and an estimated age of 2,300 to 2,700 years old. It does hold the record of being the largest tree by volume.








Here we are relaxing looking out over Morro Bay along the coast of California. Morro Rock as you can see in the picture is a 581 ft. volcanic rock. It sits at the entrance of Morro Bay Harbor. It was so peaceful. We enjoyed the afternoon watching otters and seals frolicking in the water.

Ralph looking out over the Pacific Ocean in the town Carmel-By-The-Sea, California. This quaint town is where Clint Eastwood was once Mayor. The town is full of quaint shops, restaurants, cafes, boutiques, candy shops, bakeries and jewelry stores.

More travel pictures to come. Happy Trails..................
