... regularly been repossessed by the repo companies. House values have dropped 50% from when they were at their highest. Scary stuff.<br><br>The girls had a fantastic time playing with Kylie and Cameron and we even had a fashion parade from all the girls. We spent the night in Harvey in front of Greg&#8217;s place and Greg cooked us a huge batch of pancakes and waffles the next morning. It was soon time to say our goodbyes and get back in to Harvey to make the drive to Yosemite National Park.

Scott<br><br>Last night at San Simeon was surreal, and felt quite dangerous. Me and Paul were playing pool and this guy came over, covered in tattoos, smelt of booze and smoke, and he asked us a lot of questions about where we were going, when etc, and invited himself in the pool game. At first I thought he was gay and thought we were too or something, but when he pulled out this medical tub of weed and asked us to smell it we assumed he was ...

... wir aber nicht wussten: das ist auch ein Restaurant und ehe wir uns wieder umdrehen konnten saßen wir schon an einem Tisch für zwei. Und das schlimmste, richtiges Geschirr und eine makellos weiße Stoffserviette.

... to pass the time and we arrived at Yosemitie only to be disapointed that the main road into the valley was closed due to fires. We did however travel a different route which lead us up the mountains to see some amazing rock features and lakes.<br><br>Headed back out of the park and towards San Jose another 180 miles, with the radio bursting with soft rock we knew we were road ...

... bear! Afterwards we went to Grant Grove to so see some Sequoias Trees. The following day we went to Sequoia National Park.

Hej! Det var länge sen! How are you guys doing? We haven't come around to writing for a while...I hope you haven't been worried! The last few days we have been living here in Fresno, CA. which is the home town of Greg. Fresno might not be the most exciting city on earth but it's located close to some pretty amazing national parks! We spent last night in Kings Canyon/ Sequoia park which was really cool. The Sequoias are ...

... got through the bad area, I called Dan's wife back and told her to disregard. Near the City limits, I saw the Sahara Lodge, an older motel that was obviously being repaired. I met the owners, Debra and Brian and asked if they had any rooms, as I was going to take the advice of a friend and slow down. Brian and Debra were really cool and told m they were finishing up room #6 and I could have it for $35 dollars. I paid the money, gladly. Actually, neither Debra nor Brian needed ...

... unable to find the Alpine Spaghetti Station when we were first in Flagstaff, wedecided to eat at its sister restaurant, Alpine Pizza. It turned out to be an excellent choice. We got a three-topping small pizza for $9.95. But, the best part of eating there was the atmosphere. It had the feel of trusted neighborhood hangout.

... an ordinary sixty foot tall tree. The area called Giant Forest contains an unusually large number of Sequoias. Nearby Crescent Meadow offered a convenient place to park.
