- California, Spring 2023 April 13, 2023
Another visit to California! This time I did not go to Sequoia. Don't worry, my friends, I still saw some redwood trees. We had back-to-back jobs, first in San Diego, then in San Jose. SK and I spent the weekend between jobs at a 76er's game, Point Reyes, and John Muir Woods.

Yes, really. This time I'm accompanied by my brother Scott and by JTB. We drove around the Sierra Nevada area to visit Sequoia and Yosemite National Parks. We took many photos, why don't you look at some of them? I also got pretty wordy, ick.
