2006 Sequoia Camp-out [page 2]

<=== Prev Next ===>

The planned lunch stop in Visalia continued Marc's "places to eat in Visalia curse". The very first place I selected 10 years ago was out of business when we got there. We found a nice BBQ place, instead. The next year the BBQ place had turned into a so-so fish-n-chips place. Last year, tiring of the fish-n-chips, we selected a 50s style drive-in hamburger place. This year it was closed as in out-of-business closed. Carrows was close. While sitting in the Carrows I spied a Fosters Freeze. We'll try that next year.

After lunch it was off about 30 miles to 3 Rivers where we got gas and supplies, e.g. beer, wine, snacks, dinner, etc. From there it's another 12 miles or so to the campground. We were happy to see that Buckeye Flat was open and had vacancies. An email I'd received from the National Park Service implied that it would be closed for the season. As it was we got perhaps the last two campsites. Tom and I shared the smaller site with Carl, Rich, and Jerry in the larger.
