Yosemite is my Backyard Camp

This summer Jack went to camp here in the valley. It was called Yosemite is my Backyard and it was run by Yosemite Institute. They went everyday for a week. Each day they hiked to a new place and learned new things about the cool place they get to call home.

On Wednesday I volunteered and went hiking with the group and that was the day we did the spider cave! It was so cool! We had to crawl in and get really small to fit inside and then there was no light at all...we did have a candle and a headlamp, but wow, it was really fun!

On Thursday Brian went with them and they drove up to Crane Flat and hiked out from there. They got to see a gigantic Giant Sequoia that had fallen awhile ago and not it is hollow and you can walk inside the trunk (there is a picture of the group sitting on top of the tree and one of them walking down the inside of it). That day was longer than the others b/c they stayed up at Crane Flat for a campfire after their hike!
