Sequoia National Park, June 9th – 12th
After a lengthy food restocking and laundry day in Fresno, CA; we arrived, after dark, at Lodgepole campground in Sequoia National Park. Our name was not on the camp reservation board, but there was a “Helen Keller”, which we assumed was just someones mental block coming out on paper.

Dinner amongst the RV’s, at Indian Flat RV Park in Yosemite, June 5th-9th.
After one night of RV living you’re convinced you’ll own one one day. After two nights, you’re convinced you’ll never set foot in one again. We did manage to cook up amazing meals on every leg of this trip. That shrimp you see in the foreground has been repurposed from last nights subpar Thai dish in San Francisco.
The next four nights were spent in Yosemite, one of them in the backcountry near Moraine Dome. The mere eight mile hike took all day as it covered nearly 2,500 vertical feet. Susan was only 3 months pregnant at this time, so she was still able to carry a full backpack. That’s a joke.
Of the 506 photographs we took in Yosemite, 14 of them are worth showing.

Alcatraz Island, San Francisco. June 2nd – 5th
The first stop was San Francisco where we parked our rented RV amongst other travelers in Candlestick RV Park, surely a bustling section of town when the 49′ers are home.
Three nights in SF was enough to do some things we hadn’t had a chance to do on our previous visits, Alcatraz Island and AT&T Park.

At the End of May, 2008, Susan and I packed our remaining possessions into a 300 square foot moving pod. Larger than some New York apartments, we had spent the previous year scaling back on everything we owned. I read somewhere that a good way to keep clutter down is to get rid of 3 items every time you bring home a single item. It works.
The stuff was to travel via truck and arrive on the east coast well before we did. We were to follow a similar route, but not until a couple of weeks in a rented RV, and a few more weeks in our, third party roof rack equipped, Suzuki.
The highly planned and anticipated departure from our temporarily adopted, California lifestyle and home, was under way.
