50. Do it! You will not regret it.

In their early years my children experienced camping in Sequoia on many summer weekends and since we moved out of the state I have made sure that each grandchild was able to experience the grandeur of Sequoia and Yosemite. This was to be the summer that I take my great grandchild. My health has deteriorated and I feel the urgency to get back there not only for the 8 year old, but for myself. My granddaughter's souvenir from 20 years ago was a small Sequoia start in a tube
which she still nurtures lovingly even though it is now well beyond needing her attention. But it has watered her own spirit
through some difficult times. She has a single tattoo of Big Sherman on her arm and that says it all.
