we slabbed it to lemon cove where we picked up the j 21 which turned out to be a good 2 up road rolling through the sierra foothills...
we found ourselves in badger where we picked up 245 to the 180...
the 245 is a good 2 up road with lots of scenery climbing to about 6000 feet at pinehurst...
we skipped the big trees for the canyon... kings canyon is one of the most beautiful works of mother earth that we have experienced... t was a beautiful clear and crisp day... except for some smoke way off into the hills there...
we run it out to the roads end following the kings river most of the way... i wish this road punched on through to the 395... if it did it would blow all other sierra mountain passes away... but since its no yosemite... and since it dead ends... there is no traffic and unmeddled...
our camera just cant capture the majesty of this place...
more later...

Only the Reasonists. They believe in an evidence-based world, something called Rationalism. But it's a tiny group, not so influential.
