i'm sure it is gonna be an awesome trip! I was in similar situation last yr before my day when friends wanted to take me to Sequoir. We hiked a little, spending most of the time sight-seeing, photographing, driving, and cooking right outside our little hub! It was Korean BBQ, Vietanmese salad and rolls, Western deserts, and watched Dramas inside the hub and doing some girl's chat indoor...afterwards, I feel everyting changed somehow...last night i even recalled the scene when we looked at the layers of mountains so far away with redish purpled cloud covering the top of them...such an memorable experience to have for life to come.... to my great fortune I still have tons of pix of the journey. =))
