Started from SanJose @ 03:30am in morning. Reached Sequoia @ 8am, Booked Crystal Cave trip. Visited Moro Rock. The experience of the Cave was 'awesome'.. Experienced 'The Darkness' inside cave. Overall, amazing nature. Had lunch, went on a drive to Mineral Kings. Saw a bear cub running across the road. My (and most of the people's) first spoting of wild bear in all these trip.

Camped at Buckeye Campgrounds. Played Cards.. had nice sleep (thanks to new sleeping bag).
Next day started with few jumping snaps near the river flowing next to camp ground. Visited Hospital Rock where there are some scribbles from native americans, done few hundred years before.
Drove in General Highway towards Grant Grove, and on the way visited General Grant Tree, which is 3rd Largest tree in the world in terms of volume. Drove to Ceder Grove, and passed through the Rock canyons of Kings canyon, inside which flows Kings rivers.
The star attraction of the trip came when we visited Hume Lake Christian Camp (Well, it was indeed a religious place), where we enjoyed the beauty of nature.. A green grass.. lake, green forest and layers and layers of mountain behind... blue sky (view from bottom to top in photo frame). There we saw a sand volley ball court and reserved it for an hour. Played 3 sets. I enjoyed the game in spite of loosing all the 3, because i was diving all around, running across etc :-)
Food part of the trip started in Denny's, and ended in Chipotle. Inbetween, it was all kokila chapati and mint chutneys.. with lot of side (like chukly, koDbeLe etc)
Photos will be shared by janta who took them soon.. (links will be updated once i get them).
