My Feet On Higher Ground

Hi all!

So, my family and I were driving around Sequoia on the first day of camping when my husband points out that huge rock, pictured above. 

He says, "Look at that up there!"

"Uhguhmmm." I mumble through my mouth full of Cheez-Its.  

He says, "There's a building on top.  I wonder if you can get up there?"

"Uhguhmm."  

I'm not paying a lot of attention because first of all, I can't even make out a building on top of that distant boulder.  Second, I'm positive that even if there is a building up there, there's no way normal civilians such as ourselves would be allowed up. Third, I didn't think my husband would actually research it.  

But there is, they do, and he did.  

Guess what we did the next day? 

Doesn't look so high from the backside, but wait till you get a load of the trip up:

It was one:

Two:

Three, four, five

very high flights up (and what's that door doing there, anyway?). 

When we got to the top, it looked like this:

Did your stomach just flip flop?   

Judging from the way my kids are plastered to the side of the building, I'm pretty sure their stomachs were down around their ankles too.  

We're really big fans of solid ground.  

You all have a good night!
