Now, nobody would ever accuse three out of four of the fellows as being frugal. But their accomodations while in Dunlap shows just how thrifty they can be. The report was the rooms were clean, they had a bed and there was air conditioning!
After leaving Dunlap, and their sweet motel, the boys went back into the northern portion of the Sequoia National Forest. There was a particular section of the park, where 40 of the giant Sequoia trees lived,that they wanted to check out. Mike, Fred, Ron and Stu are in Grant's Grove at the base of another monster tree.
Fred rests by the Kings Canyon National Park sign. The national park is a 30 mile dead end road into a very deep canyon. So, it's a 30 mile ride back out of the park.
The Kings River runs along the floor of the canyon. The river is fed solely from the snow melt run off from hundreds of thousands of mountainous acres.
Fred and Mike standing on a rock ledge overlooking the Kings Canyon National Park. Whew, glad they didn't fall for the, "take a step back" gag.
The rushing water of the Kings River.
Ron, Fred and Stu in front of the Grizzly Falls. The guys finished up the day in Mariposa, California which is at the southwest end of Yosemite National Park. Their total miles ridden today equal 222 miles.

Those trees are ENORMOUS! I can't even imagine how they must look in person. King's Canyon looks like it was well worth the 30 mile in, 30 mile out ride! Watch out for the wildlife out there... they say that there are no more grizzlies in California, but how do "they" really know? I'd carry some bear spray and bells on those hikes just in case, haha, and why take a chance with those black bears?!?!
