No politics today. I spent the weekend in Sequoia National Park (SEKI to the National Park Service), had adventures, took pix, came home, blogged about it.
Sequoia is a huge park, but the NPS has chosen to focus visitor activities on one charismatic megaflora: the General Sherman tree. People ride shuttle buses to see one tree, turn around, shrug, say If you've seen one redwood, you've seen 'em all, and ride the shuttle bus back to their cars. Maybe they also ride another shuttle to take the half-mile hike up Moro Rock for the view. I've seen that tree and that view. I want to touch the sky above the trees.
