Back to Sequoia National Park
Cynthia had to work 8-2, and I had things I could get done in town like post office and library.
After she got off work we drove up to Sequoia and stopped at the picnic area where I had been the day before to cool off and reload on water. We walked down to the river to go swimming in one of the pools. It was very deep and clear, the cool water was a welcome break from the hot hair. We climbed up one of the rocks that had water flowing over it, sat in the stream, and rode the waterfall down into the pool like a waterslide.
After swimming we went towards Big Baldy/Little Baldy, but realized the sun was probably setting too fast, so instead we detoured towards Mono Rock, one of the short hikes I missed the day before. Mono rock gave a magnificent view of the surrounding mountains, the valley below, and Three Rivers.
Trying not to squint because of the sun.
Sitting on the throne.
The sun was getting low, and the shadows were long so we went down the mountain again. We ended the day with a night-swim in the local river, and figuring out how I could stay in Three Rivers a while longer without paying too much so that we can have another adventure. She knows the owners of a campground, so I will be staying there for a few nights until Cynthia comes back from Fresno and we will do some other adventure together.
The changing plans keep changing!
