This stop brought me face to face with my first taste of the artistic side of the CCC. Yes, this entrance sign was carved and painted by the boys back in the day. Looks pretty good if you ask me.
Unfortunately, not everything holds up as well as that sign. The 'Auto Log' is a giant sequoia that you used to be able to drive down, but now it's rotting so no more vehicles allowed. The tunnel tree can still be driven through, but Ricky is too tall. He did hold the camera for this shot though!
These big guys are called the Sentinels. Doesn't look like it, but that is not a small car driving between them. Good guards, I think.
This photo was taken from the top of Moro Rock. To get there, I had to do some more rock scaling with negligible hand railings. Never thought I'd get so comfortable with that, but I guess you can get used to anything. Apparently, this canyon is as deep as the Grand Canyon, but I can't imagine thats all there is to it.
My campsite was not far from this rock, and I can tell you that it is COLD at 8000 feet. I must find more blankets before I get to the grand canyon...
