Camping in the Sequoia National Forest

We went camping this past weekend in the Sequoia National Forest. They allow dogs in the campgrounds and on all trails, so we brought the Rosester along. She did really well. Didn't bark much (she never really does) and was good enough to say off lease, I mean, stay off leash, most of the time while we were in the campsite. She was very good about not attacking the two little ratdogs in the site across from us (who never stopped barking!). We discussed it and decided it would be best to leave them alone.
Me and Rosie up at Alta Sierra on Rt. 155. Very high and very cold.


The weather wasn't that great, but we got two days of no rain and semi warm weather. It rained the second night. We packed up our wet gear and left in the morning. Those who know my family's history of rainy camping trips will not be surprised to hear that it rained. Eric and I have had pretty good luck so far and that was the first time it really rained hard while camping.

We didn't get to see any Sequoias. They have something called "snow" up there and apparently it prevents people from driving on the roads safely, so they closed most of the more northern roads. We were bummed, but had a great time exploring what we could.

A few things. Rosie was off lease? Does that mean you own her? I didn't know you were leasing her before ;)

Also, "very high and very cold", how did you get your dog high?

And, when you said you and Eric haven't had a ton of rain when camping I was thinking yes you have! what about the time we went, and then i realized that it was only travis and i who got rained on, and when i say rained on i mean swept away by a tidal wave.

Anyways, I'm glad you had a good time but too bad it rained!

Thanks, Maria!! Not only was she off lease, but she "say off leash" too!
