Off to see the Giant Sequoia Gloves in King Canyon Nat’l
Park with our friend Tom & Tracy!!
The destination was set, but sleeping arrangements was another story –
tents or lodging? Why don’t we just take our tents and enjoy an
adventurous camping trip, said Tracy. Cool…let’s
do it!!
However, once we took ownership of the new “Grey Ghost” (aka new motorhome) the adventure of camping changed a bit. Why sleep on the ground in the cool night air, when you can have a heater and two nice comfortable beds – LOL. =) Plus, it would be good to give the new rig a shakedown cruise just to make sure everything worked properly.
Oh guess working for a campground concessioner, California
Land Management Services (CLM Services) has it bonuses; we scored a beautiful
place to camp for FREE!! Thanks to both
ops managers – Wayne and Dave, we stayed at Princess Campground in King Canyon. We would highly recommend if you are planning
a trip to King Canyon ~ this is the place to stay!! It has recently reopened from renovations with
breathtaking views along a meadow boardwalk.
We can’t wait to go back…

It was a fast trip and not to
mention a lot of driving for Jerry, as he was the only one who knew how to
drive the new rig. Plus, let’s not
forget all the challenges of getting this big beast down small, curvy mountain
roads with cliffs; at times barely missing the mirrors by inches. It was a fun trip, but exhausting… and to
the bus driver – GREAT JOB!!
