is to spend as much time at the ocean as possible and hope to retire near the ocean (Oregon
coast)someday. I am passing your website on to my two daughters (14 and 21) who also love

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.

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!

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.

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.

Comments: Hi there! I'm finding your Sierra National Park trip info very helpful in planning
a Sierra Club National backpacking trip. 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.

My grandfather was the caretaker at Doyle Springs for about 30 years and I spent most

Comments: Hi...stumbled upon your web site while surfing for information on the cottonwood
pass TH....i am in reno for about 6 months on a contruction project...a new Cabelas...I drove
home via 395 and visited the ranger station at lone pine drove up to the whitney portal and
decided right then i had to get on top of that one. 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

spring (Mar. 2007). 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!

the world! I have visited no less than 31 of the Giant Sequoia groves. 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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

Grey Meadow and it brought back such great memories! Working at the district office has

136. Name: Robbie Millard
Location: North Carolina
Comments: Hi Carol, I just love your website! And I must say you have the coolest job in
the world. Oh to be out in nature's back yard all the time and then to be able to hike and
explore like you do. I must admit I am a bit envious. I am an avid tree lover. 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

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
