Big basin

We went to big basin redwood park on Saturday and hiked for a bit. Then, grilled some veggies and ate it. It was really good. yumm.. Then we went to a campfire meet (arranged by park rangers). They described abt the forest fire geared towards kids ofcourse. It was fun, i enjoyed singing and seeing puppet show ;)

you get the picture right? After laughing so much, we went back to the camp site. We were super smart, thought since it was a warm day we wont need any blanket. Guess what, we were so cold that we couldn't sleep comfortably the whole night. O well, lesson learnt! never ever underestimate the cold nights in Northern California.



Next day, we got up and went for a longer hike. This time, we hiked a popular trail which led up to sequoia falls. When we reached the falls, we were disappointed to see a small falls. I don't know if you can classify it as falls. Really small one. For more info, check the site

We then went directly to saravanna bhavan. I ordered special meals and ate it like a hog. We were so happy so we decided to go to a mall, instead of coming home. So went to a big huge mall and walked for more than an hour and bought useless items (other than arvind's jeans).

Came home with a killing headache but that didn't stop me from watching MTV VMA show. It was great. My favorites usher and alicia keys won!!:)
