also my reference! my husband and i were literally just there the other week, it was unreal. we walked a short trail and then along the river in the valley until we got to this spot and just...took a nap! the weather was heavenly and the ghibli-esque meadows seemed like the perfect place to do so.

I have the book of all the boards and seeing them on pages like this lays this out really nicely! They really just spill off into the action/notes area to utilize that open space.

my favorite rock surprise tho was finding a roadside quartz pegmatite (vein) near the rental we stayed at back by Kings Canyon. Got some beautiful quartzite samples with black tourmaline inclusions!

even tho any tsunami warnings seem like they might ease around here, we're playing it safe and I'm happy we did some baller beach combing yesterday! found my first literal handfuls of serpentine as my rockhounding hobby grows (we dont get nearly as many cool rocks in florida)
