My passion is to spend as much time at the ocean as possible and hope to retire near the ocean (Oregon coast)someday.

Cindy (The waterfalls are just breathtaking) 220. Name: sonny rouch Location: Camp Nelson Comments: At the lookout you look down on Sequoia Crest I built most of the roads there. You can see the Stagg Tree the fifth largest of all the redwoods. You see Popy Lake which I built, named after my father who bought this section 640 acres in 1941. I would be pleased to get your e-mail address. Sonny ~ you have mail! 219. Name: Michelle Blackwell Location: Seattle Washington Comments: Wow!

I am going up there over memorial day weekend and look forward to the pretty country! Thank you! 217. Name: Ben Cooper Location: Atlanta, GA Comments: Thanks for taking the time to describe your Mountain Home hikes, and for putting your photos on the web. Living in Georgia I rarely get to visit the sequoias and so I greatly enjoyed the "virtual hike" that I took as I read your pages and viewed the pics. I'm inspired to try my first sequoia-communing hike outside of Yosemite and Sequoia/KC NP's, the next time I get a chance to ramble in California. Thanks again! 216. Name: Matt Location: Temecula, CA Comments: My family and I are planning on doing bunch of camping up your way this year. I was Googling a few of the campgrounds (Belknap, Quaking Aspen) and luckily happened upon your site. Thank you for the wonderful introduction to your backyard... My wife and I are even more excited about spending time there now. I'd love to get a few recommendations for places we might want to camp, and explore. Thanks again. Matt ~ You have mail! 215. Name: Brandon B. Location: Santa Ynez, CA Comments: Thanks Carol/Tarol! What AMAZING and gorgeous photographs. Had typed in "Tulare County Wildflowers" to come up with the name of the orange flowers I'd seen in Yoakal ... in route from my dad's house in Lindsay (where I grew up) to Balch Park. Came to your site and found Fiddlenecks right away, then later came across the photos of Fiddlenecks and Popcorn Flowers in your lovely photos of that very road! What a pleasant surprise. Looked at lots of your work and it truly is breathtaking. Thanks. Was disappointed to read that they are planning to develop on Yoakal Rd. I just lost my mom on Good Friday and was driving for therapy... when I drove up that road on a sunny 65 degree Friday, I thought I surely must be in heaven myself... kept looking to see mom! Well, I hope you get lots more pictures of the drive so it will be preserved forever - at least in photos. Thanks again. Brandon ~ You have mail 214.

Since I haven't hiked there I need all the info I can get on xc travel from Silliman Pass to lake WL10559 Just north of Table Meadows. From Table Meadows, I'm thinking that your route down the Kaweah to Pear Lake sounds like a plan. If you can point me in the right direction re the best place to cross the Divide, I'd be grateful.

I spend most of my time in the high uinta wilderness area of utah...the winds in wyo..have been doing a little hiking and backpacking in the superstistion mts. east of phoenix. My passion is backpacking so i decided that i would summit whitney via a round trip from cottonwood....looks like about 6 to 8 days depending on how hard one pushes. I think I will do a couple shorter trips to langly and cirque and just goof off in the cottonwood lakes area. I am 56 ok 57 in Feb, married with one daughter and 2 wonderful grandkids the youngest, my granddaughter says she is ready for an overnighter this summer, she is 12 and a strong hiker, so this is her year! . I usually hike alone, but would love the company, if one of these trips interest you let me know, sound like a blast to me. Good luck. Lyle Miller 196.

I was looking for wildflower photos from Carrizo Plain when I found your beautiful site. I'm hoping there will be another wet winter this year so we'll get to enjoy a spectacular wildflower show! We went to the Monterey / Salinas area this summer and we saw some beautiful flowers along the Big Sur coast, at Pinnacles NM and at the beaches. Those photos are on my website, EastTennesseeWildflowers.com under the California 2006 trip gallery. Thanks for your beautiful pictures and hard work on your site! Kris 175.

I would be interested in hearing from you. I need to find the folowing trees to complete the list of trees measured by Wendall and Mike. I have found ALL of the groves and trees I've been to by myself! The Ishi Giant The Evans Tree The King Arthur Tree The Great Goshawk The Patriarch Tree The Diamond Tree The A.D. Tree The Dean Tree The Goshawk & the Ishi have eluded me for two years, maybe you could help? Nice Website, I should probably do the same myself.... Chuck Chuck - you have mail! 173. Name: Kevon Andersen Location: Miami Comments: Loved your info on your trip to Redwood Canyon. Found this site after seeing an article in the NYT's about King's Canyon on 9/1/06. We did the same hike in '03 in King's Canyon and loved the trees . . . just wish we could have seen it in June like you (rather than August) for the lupines. We had to have camped near your same spot on Redwood Creek -- all I know is that I spotted a game trail right near where we camped b/w two giant Sequoias. That night, after it got dark, my wife and I kept hearing branches cracking and hooves pounding, etc. You sound like you got to sleep a lot sooner than we did. We believed we didn't put our tent next to a trail to the water...we put it next to a freeway to the water. We both finally went to sleep from shere exhaustion. But the beauty of that place was worth it. I'll keep watching your site for new trips (really love the flower photos and i.d.'s). Keep working at preserving this, and keep hiking. 172. Name: Wanda Location: San Diego Comments: Hey, I'm hit #19571.... WOW. Of course I probably did at least 1000 of them myself! LOVEMA 171. Name: Heike Harich Location: Dachau, Germany Comments: Wow! What an excellent website! Just got here by looking for better photos than mine from Big Sur as we had cloudy weather. Now I sit and read for hours and can't get enough of your overwhelming photos from all about the USA. I love the ones from Carrizo Plain, especially the beautiful bedewed flowers and grasses. Thank you so much for sharing and keep up on your GREAT WORK ! 170. Name: Eva Location: Ibbenbueren, Germany Comments: Hi Tarol! I found your website by accident and spent quite a while looking around. It's really a great page and looking at some of the photos made me remember my three trips to your beautiful country. Just three more month and my husband and I will be back for hiking and photographing. I really envy you that you're able to enjoy the amazing nature year-round. Germany's great too, but we simply don't have the canyons, the hoodoos, the slot canyons and all that. Bye Eva 169. Name: jim Location: Santa Cruz, Central California Comments: Your site is very well put together and your photography is great. I'm just getting back into walking and hiking after a long layoff due to illness. It's tough, but getting out in the mountains really helps keep the focus I need. Viewing your photographs and reading about your hikes and backpacking trips enthuses me a great deal. 168. Name: Bill Hankee Location: Central Wyoming Comments: Great site, I finally decided to stop in for a visit. If you ever stop out back this part of the country email me and lets do a hike. Take care. bill 167. Name: Laureen Location: Columbus, Ohio Comments: Great site- I'm an avid backpacker and am looking to start my "real life" at age 40 by liquidating everything and heading west for an outdoors job. I'm hoping to take steps to help secure a park service job in the next couple of years by getting my Wilderness First Responder, taking some leadership courses, etc. I solo a lot and try to get out west for a big trip at least once a year. I'm giving some thought to thru hiking the John Muir Trail next summer (2007) if I can manage a month away from home. A friend in the area would certainly be helpful. Laureen - you have mail! 166. Name: Donna Location: Niceville, Florida Comments: I am a native Californian and really enjoyed looking at your website. My husband and I married in the Yosemite Valley in 1980. We were there April 05, celebrating our 25th! We took the drive to Pacific Grove from Yosemite and the wild flowers were unbelievable. '05 was an awesome year for wildflowers! What a joy :) We have been in NW Florida for nearly 12 years, but my heart and home will always be California. Thanks for sharing your adventures. I've book marked your site and will be back to continue reading about your adventures and looking at the beautiful flower photos. One of my favorite things to do also. Thanks again! Donna Donna - you have mail! 165. Name: Sandy Location: New Jersey Comments: I would like to say that I found your site by luck looking for a type of bush with a white flower.

Brings back good memories of California. My wife's brother and his wife live in Sequoia. Rob and Rachel Lewis. Rob is actually visiting us in Houston. Rachel has a backcountry patrol job in Yosemite. I'm hoping to visit SeKi for a few days this summer, but my wife is pregnant, so not sure she'd want to be left out of the fun! Regards, Morgan 160. Name: Tim Smith Location: Columbia, on the Susquehanna River, PA Comments: Hey Carol, Your web-site is awesome! Found out about it in backpacker mag. I have never been west of Ohio. I am 43. I am a photographer (building a web-site, will be launched soon). My 19 year old son & I are traveling to California. Departing this Sat. May 20. We are going from LA to Big Sur to SF to Yosemite in 1 week, spending the last 3 days in Yosemite. I will admit I'm a little intimidated about Yosemite (no reservations). We are both avid hikers and want to see as much as we can in 2 or 3 days without hanging out with the tourans. ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED! Your "Abbey advice" is one of my favorites. It hangs on my wall at work & my studio. Just read "The Last Season" by Eric Blehm, WOW! I am psyched to get out there. Quote: "The best wisdom comes directly from the earth: it runs right up our roots into the spirit. Walk on. The feet will inform the soul." Hope to here from you. PEACE, Tim Tim - you have mail! 159. Name: Dusty Location: Northridge, CA Comments: Hi, Carol. I found your site while looking for information about the Temblor Range and the Carrizo Plain. Good site, good detail on photos, good layout, and nice photos. Easy to navigate, good coverage of topics. Very impressive. Congrats. 158. Name: Jim Gibson Location: Gardnerville, NV Comments: Hello! What a great web site - thank you for sharing it with us. I was thinking of boatin on lake Lahontan and your site came up - when you crazy uncle was surfing in November! Way too cold! Anyway, I have a new 27 foot boat I keep on Tahoe during the summer, so if you ever happen to be in the area, I am there pretty regular with the wife and kids and would offer a boat ride - it's a great lake to see by boat. You have a great additude- life is short, enjoy every day. Thanks again, Jim Gibson 157. Name: Mark Location: Tampa, Florida Comments: I am researching the Big Sur area for a planned trip this summer. Thanks for the help. Mark 156. Name: Jane Duenweg Location: Stanton, Orange County, California Comments: Enjoyed looking thru your website, Carol, you look like a vital personality with a strong appreciation for life. My family are the occasional backpackers into some of these areas you refer to, we've recently been able to spend some quality time at a few national parks. Two years ago we first visited Sequoia/Kings Canyon and on to Yosemite. This year we're hoping to rent a cabin for a few days in the Sequoia area, as we find it suits the family better than the full tent camping experience. My husband could problably sleep under a tree, long as it's not too cold, and hike all day if given the opportunity. My girls at 11 & 15 can only do so much roughing it, and I find with my dismal allergies that it includes me as well, altho I love the woods, I always come back worse for the wear. I esp. enjoyed your pictures of the wildflowers, I'm the one always stopping and looking at little hidden spots of color beside the trails, while the others are calling for me to hurry and catch up. Happy trails this summer and always.Jane 155. Name: Dreamer (Tim) Location: Garland Texas Comments: Tarol, you have an eye for the view... thank you for the postings it is very beautiful looking from my cubical out at the wonders at work!

Comments: Love your site, pics, advice etc. I haven't been to the Sierra's in many years but am researching a trip out of Mineral King or from the East side Rockhouse Basin. 30-40 miles with a group of 8 experienced hikers. Any suggestions?? Thanks, Rick 152. Name: Rich Collier Location: Valley Glen, CA Website or email address: http://users.adelphia.net/~collierama/ Comments: Tarol, I've really enjoyed wandering around your web space. It has helped me identify flowers I have taken pictures of in the last couple of years. The last image you have on your wildflower's page as "unidentified" looks like one I found just this evening: Erodium botrys, Broadleaf Filaree, in the Geranium family. I'm not a botanist, but your image looks similar enough to mine, it's probably worth checking out. Happy Hiking, Rich Collier 151. Name: Elaine Campbell Location: Matamoras, PA Comments: Thanks for a look at the beautiful pictures. I've enjoyed looking back at where I used to live in California (Really miss it!). I too have hiked in Big Basin in Boulder Creek, as I used to live in the Santa Cruz Mountains, in Felton. Yes, all those cute newts...easily found if you dig in the dirt a little. Banana slugs are easy to find also. Once, I picked up a small common (harmless) ring neck snake from my driveway, so he wouldn't get run over. To my surprise, it must have just had breakfast, since three small banana slugs fell from it's mouth. 150. Name: Jamie Averman Location: Las Vegas Comments: I was telling people at work about the flowers in the forest and how beautiful they are. I was looking on line and couldn't find any good pictures, then I remembered that you had this website. I love all your pictures. I became home sick. I saw the pictures of Grey Meadow and it brought back such great memories! Working at the district office has been the best job yet! I miss you, and maybe one of these days I can make it by. ~ Jamie Jamie - I miss you too! This summer won't be the same without you!

My son and I took a trip to California last year just to see the Redwoods. We saw both the Sequoias and the Coast Redwoods. We stayed nine days, but that wasn't nearly enough time to see all I wanted to. The Sequoias are my favorites. I could stay amongst them forever. To me, they are truly nature's grandest creation. I plan on going back to CA one day, although it will probably be a few years. I want to come back in the winter and be able to camp out in the Sequoias in the snow and be able to take lots of pictures! Well, I gotta go. Keep hiking and taking pictures. I look forward to your every adventure. -Robbie 135. Name: Bonnie Location: IL Comments: Carol, I'm Jeffry's mom and just want to thank you for sharing all the fascinating photos of your trip with him. It's easy to see why you both wanted to hike that area. What intriguing natural formations of rocks and unusual cactus. Is a "Prickly Pear" cactus edible. Also, I appreciated seeing the pictures of my son. Although we talk every couple of weeks, we haven't been able to see each other in months. I'm glad to read that you are not just existing but truly living--tasting, touching and living life to the fullest. May God bless you and keep you safe.---Bonnie 134.
