Sequoia National Park, Califonia

 The first day in Sequoia we enjoyed some relaxing time in the sunshine next to our camper.

The second day we went to General Sherman Tree. General Sherman Tree is the largest tree in the world. It isn’t the tallest, but it has the most mass of any tree on earth. It is roughly the mass of 16 blue whales put together.  We did a fairly long hike to get to the tree, and up close it wasn’t that impressive. After being to Redwood and Humboldt, it looked just like a lot of the other trees we had seen. It wasn’t that tall, and it was clear that the top had been struck by lightning several times. Still, now I can say that I have been to the biggest tree on earth.
