MURPHY TRIES, BUT WE CAN'T BE BEAT!

After  a couple of days without our pump and the heat continuing to make it impossible for John to change a pump, I just started to play with valves a.  I could have, but nd switches.  Somehow, I managed the correct switch positions and we had water.  Nan and John one, Murphy zero!

Then, Murphy decided to attack once more.  I had photography that I wanted to download to Picasa and the port on my computer was not securing the USB connector.  

For days I could not blog.  To put it better, I did not want to blog without photos.  Rick tried to help.  But since all my photos come from my Droid Smartphone, he did not have the answer.  

Yesterday, I decided to email all my photos to me so that I could blog.  During this process, I saw a strange, to me, looking symbol.  I clicked on it and voila, there were about fifteen options that I could do with the photos and one was.....send to Picasa!  My phone, obviously, is smarter than I.  
Nan and John two....Murphy zero.  


Sequoia National Park was next on our list, so that is where we headed.  And the heat followed us leaving Jojo with cooler temperatures. 

We are convinced of one thing.  We need solar panels for the motorhome.  Our generator ran continuously for three and a half days in order to air condition the motorhome while we were boon docked outside the park.  

Here are a few photos of Sequoia.





John, the tree hugger!


Tunnel rock - you can easily drive a car through the tunnel created by the rock.




Small stream and waterfall coming down from the mountain.

Castle rock off in the distance.

The final waterfall of the rock stream from the mountain.
The six and seven thousand feet altitude created some shortness of breath for John so, we did a little and decided to return next year to see  more.  Gee, just gives us a good excuse to return!

Till next time, God Bless!
