June 12, Oroville, CA.

We are now in Orovill, CA.  We  got up early this morning and drove 300 miles to the casino at Feather Falls.  Yesterday we spent seeing the sites that we had missed the first couple of days at the park.  Like Grant Grove, the Chicago Stump, Hume Lake.  

This is the Chicago stump.  It is one of many in the area.  They logged the whole place.

Chicago stump was kind of impressive.  They cut this tree down to take to the Chicago World's Fair in 1893.  Cut it into 14 foot section to get it to Chicago and reassembled it there.  No one believed it was real.  Thought it was a hoax.  But it did start an interest in the area and about that time, they had another national park.

This the the grant tree

This is the Lincoln tree

This is the Oregon tree

Now I will try and add the pictures I couldn't yesterday.

Kings River with a zoom, very long way down

A whole hillside of yucca plants. on a rock cliff.  Don't know where the dirt came from

Kings Canyon.  Impressive.

Roaring River Falls.  Really fast water.

Saturday:

This is a group of trees along the road.

They have so many that not all have names.

We didn't see much wildlife, but did see this marmot

this is the General Sherman tree.

Sunday


































































We have seen so many trees and sights.  Flowers that I have no names for, butterflies, and I kind of think I saw a bear, on the way to the Chicago stump, which was at the end of a long dirt, bumpy road, and a trail across some meadows.  On the way there, there was a black lump in the middle of the meadow, but didn't seem to be moving so I shrugged it off, only I couldn't find it on the way back.  You be the judge.
Tomorrow we drive through Lassen National Park, the Thursday stay at Canyonville (Seven Feathers Casino) the Friday HOME !!!!! Will post pictures from Lassen.
Til later.
