Mosedale's Westward 2017: Big Trees, Show Biz, and The High Sierra

Hollywood sign = ✓

Hot Desert and So - Cal Driving = ✓

Just plain ol' WOW.

Now I feel famous. Yep, hmm well just #radandy. Los Angles, CA city of angels. Its the buzz and humm of entertainment, productivity, famous happenings. Just a drive by and I know there is more, maybe another time. The stacked veins of highways and exits. So is it like the movies? I felt an edgy, expressive city, with creative and go-getter types - this is just first glance and really the sign hike was a neat perspective.

I don't really know how to explain it but I beginning to call it the travel trance. Or should I say routine. We are at a week and a few days (7 days into) transitioning from place to place and it has become second nature. The targeted selection of where to stay or where to go. That being said...

Sequoia National Monument

So yea Um.. We hug em' we love em' we breathe the air and sun sets in. Yes happy to see and be on this journey. Even the local butcher in the agricultural town in the San Joaquin Valley was glad to see some east Coast Vermonters as he package our meat. LOL.

Mono Hot Springs- High Sierras

A nice taste of 10000 feet of rugged mountains and again feeling our vast insignificance. Gasping in awe at views, just taken aback- I think we all were mystified by this place the altitude and the road leading to it. 40 miles as the crow flies is about 1.5 hours in time. switchbacks and twisty turns - Boom!
