I went out to Cali over Halloween in 2003. It was a mix between a business trip..meeting up with a company I might be doing work with..as well as a personal trip. I mean, how couldn't it be..would you go explore if you were dropped out into Cali?! :)

My first glimpse of the Pacific ocean. This was from the deck of a Taco Bell. Mmmmmm |

While I was enjoying a taco, the one thing I HAD to see while out there flew over. I wish I was up there. |

I loved the hills |

Breakfast in Santa Cruz at the Chill Out Cafe |
|
I was so impressed and amazed by how beautiful this park was. |
|
So nice |
|
This picture came out soooo nice. It even printed out off my computer amazingly. |
|
I thought I had walked about a mile or so, up about 1000 feet of elevation change. but this sign pointed out where I really was on the map, about 1/4 mile from where I started :( |
|

On our way up to the big trees! AKA Sequoia National Forest. |
|
Lan Luis Reservoir California is HUGE |
|
Same picture, but with a zoomed section showing you little people. This place was HUGE! |
|
About 4,000 feet above sea level, we stop so I can just stare in amazment. |
|
At 4,500, I HAD to stop a take a picture |
|
Just LOOK at this place! |
|
Awww.. I had to share the moment :) Shortly after this we climbed into the clouds at about 5,000 feet. |
|
After we broke through the cloud and found snow, and GIGANTIC TREES! I Always wanted to see a real live Great Sequoia. Look at how big it is compared to the size of the road! |
|
These trees are HUGE. |
|
It got COLD quick once we got through the clouds. Cold enough for snow even. |
|
This picture gives you some insight into how big the Sequoias are. The trees in the front are normal 40' pine trees. |
|
A closer picture of that same tree. Which is also the largest tree in the world, the General Sherman. |
|
Just looking up! |
|
Don't believe me/ Read for yourself. |
|
Again a normal pine tree next to a great Redwood this time. |

Just try and guess what that dried up river bed looking thing is. |
|
Give up? That my friends is the San Andreas Fault |
|
A nice shot while heading down to Morrow Rock and the pacific ocean |
|
Again another HUGE thing in Cali. Morrow Rock. Look how small the cars are next to it. They say this may have been placed here by a volcano somehow. |
|
Nice shot of the ocean and sun. |
|
Just a cool hill through a dirty windshield. |
|
Pismo beach sand dunes. This was a HUGE state park. They don't even let us stand on a dune in jersey. here you can go for wheeling, camp, ride dirt bikes..whatever. |
|
I was told this place is usually PACKED. So seeing NO ONE around amazed all of us. |
|
After chasing helpless little birds, I found their tracks to be interesting for some odd reason. |
|
