Re: To Yosemite Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks
It is your and other's thanks that makes all of the effort well worth it. Every minute I'm driving I imagine all of you in the back seat and what would be interesting to show you. Keeps me on my toes and on the lookout.

That was the end of my bucket list. I could hardly believe I had actually driven every place I wanted to drive. When my wife told me she'd be gone a week I didn't know what to do or where to drive. There was nowhere left I wanted to go but I knew I didn't want to stay home. At the last minute I came up with this trip. There may still be others. She'll be gone in November for 4 days so I'll have to come up with something then.

Re: To Yosemite Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks
On our trip across Nevada and southern Idaho two months ago it was 105 F = 40.55 C. That's hot any way you look at it. Still worth all the pain.

Re: To Yosemite Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks
A big chunk of granite the size of an apartment building fell from El Capitan yesterday. One hiker was reported to have been killed. You just never know when that stuff is going to happen.

I think I figured it out - overdrive. My engine spins too fast over 65 mph while yours is turning much slower at those speeds because of your overdrive. Less gas, less oil. I may have to consider it.
