First, didn't we have a place for pics somewhere on the forum and how do I get to in??? @hard top ????

Next. I had taken these pics many years ago and printed them out on the computer. The one with the wife is a little damaged but still viewable. I think I might have posted these a long time ago..........

The first two were taked at Sequiua National Park. I was standing in front of the General Sherman, the largest living organism on the planet.............

The last picture was of my wife while we were on a camping trip. We were in Acadia National Park in Maine. In that area during the Ice Age, the Glaciers were a mile thick and carried all sorts of debris along with them as they traveled across the landscape. In their travels, they carried large rocks that became rounded. These rocks are called 'bubbles'. Since the glaciers were so thick, they were able to deposite these bubbles in very high places. This picture is of one of them on the ledge of a cliff. Here is a picture of it from the internet:

Two things from this picture is that you can't see how far below the valley floor is, and you can't really appreciate just how BIG this rock really is. It took us about an hour or more to climb the mountain to get to this height. In this next picture, which is a bit damaged, you can see just how huge this is next to my wife and the mist in the valley below prevents you from seeing just what kind of a drop off it is below. One frightening thing about this is that you can't understand what is holding this rock from falling over the edge. It seemes to be just hanging there by nothing........

Nope, only Media and that is just for photos of members cars.
Your posting in the right place Frankie, its called 'The General Bullsh1t' section .... ;)
 
Lovely photos, with great memories for you :p
 
Very interesting photos, the wonders of Mother Nature.
 
The tree is superb!
The day we went to see them was a sunny warm spring day. As you drove along the road, there were small spring flowers growing along the side of the road. When we got to the gate of the park, the ranger looked down at the car from his entry booth and said we couldn't get into the park unless we had chains on the tires. We had to go to a local gas station to get them. I thought it was a set up to make money for the locals. How wrong could I be? Talk about winter conditions!!!!!!!!!!!!! It took about 45 minutes driving on switch back roads that almost made sick to my stomach to get to that elevation. They had just opened the roads with snow blowers. There was over 2 feet of snow and the drifts were several feet in many places. The temp went from 65 degrees to 20 degrees up in the mountains.
I have other pics from the trip on another computer that isn't being used that i'll retreive soon and post here............Frankie
