The plan for this day was to see the rest of Yosemite, stay the night once again in the same campground, and leave early for San Fransisco. Up to this point we had not kept to a single one of these "plans" and apparently we were keeping to that trend. We went to the Valley and saw the fancy hotel and decided it was time to move on. Before leaving the park we had to make one or two stops first, but the new plan for the day was basically get near San Fransisco and find a place to sleep. The stops we made were to the Historic sight and Maripos Grove. The Historic sight was a quicky. We were literally in and out of there within an hour.
We took more time at the Mariposa grove, and for good reason. This was the home of, not the tallest, but the largest trees in America. The giant Sequoias were pure majesty, the largest of which could very nearly stun any ususpecting passerby. It was called the Grizzly Giant and it was MASSIVE! The trunk alone had a diameter of 96 feet! That's one foot for every member of the Meister family! One of the limbs had a diameter of 7 feet. This thing was huge.
I haven't uploaded the pictures for this day onto my computer yet, so that will have to wait.
