Just for the
hell of it

Next week, I'm heading to Yosemite with a friend for the week, and we will also be visiting Kings Canyon and Sequoia. Everything is planned, hikes, lodging, flights, basically everything is set.

Now, if the government shuts down, there is a lot of thinking that the parks will be closed. Last time there was a shutdown down people made a mess of the parks. Why can't people just enjoy things without damaging them or leaving trash everywhere.

It could get interesting. While we are not staying at a park run hotel or campsite, we are staying part of the week inside Yosemite.

If the parks are closed, we will be looking at state parks or other places to get some outdoor activities in. Mostly just hiking.

Did Yellowstone and the Tetons during the height of the Covid mess. Ending up stopping and buying food for most of our meals, as most everything was shut down inside the park, but at least the park was open.

The hardest park is the unknown. Positive part, I get away for a while and get to hang out with a friend I don't get to see often anymore.

Make sure that you visit the General Sherman Tree. It is on a par with the statue of David and the Pantheon in Rome in our "awe inspiring" moments.

Damn, man. There is no reason to quote the whole thing, when the post is right above yours. Maybe I should start a bitching thread about this practice. Lol.

I was in Alburquerque om 9/11 and on my way to a national park when I heard the news. They let me in, just no visitor center, etc.
