Several years ago my wife and I were in Sequoia at big trees and she looked up at the trees and said, “How can anyone deny the existence of God after seeing this?”
Hi folks, magnificent isn't it!!! I lived in these Sequoias half my life! I am now in my 70s. I have been very fortunate to live in these beautiful mountains..have fun and be safe..get on your hiking shoes..lol
Awwwww... I love watching the kids...
Sweet Kensley... watch her ..she skips so much..her lil spirit is full of pure joy.
Watching my lil man not say a word...They will NEVER FORGET. Y'ALL ARE PRECIOUS IN MY OLD HEART.
Aww thank you! Hensley days skipping gets you there faster haha.
Your children are so sweet you can always tell when children are being raised by parents and not daycare or school, JJ is awesome
Years ago, I spent the summer with an Aunt and Uncle just outside of those parks. They took me camping up there and I fell in love with camping and those parks. Time past and many years later I was stationed at NAS Lemoore and the opportunity to go back, still just an amazing experience. Thanks for the video, it was awesome.
Y'all should get an Aero Press for coffee when you don't have electricity. Small, lightweight and makes awesome coffee. Love your videos!
When I was a boy, my sister and I'd go to our aunt's home in Santa Cruz for Christmas. Cousins Carolyn and Douglas, their two dogs Kingsley and Kyle, would take us hiking deep into a redwood and moss filled gully. When we got back to their huge house completely exhausted and covered in mud, Aunt Sally had hot baths waiting for us. It was heaven!
I love the tour. At 73, my days of long up and downhill hiking are gone. I am SO grateful to you both to allow my wife and I to enjoy this journey. drive safe... we are praying for you all.
So glad you are enjoying it.
Best. Opening. Ever. Beginning with your trip to Alaska, where your videography/editing really began to shine, you have constantly showing off your new skills and just consistent excellence. This - this is different. This was a home run. Congrats, Nathan! This 90-seconds is as good as TH-cam gets. Thanks.
Wow, thank you!
What a trip. ❤️❤️❤️ ❤️
It is a blessing to live in a place where you can wake up and say.
“So, what are you in the mood for today? Beach day? Big trees? Yosemite? Tahoe? Disney?”
There are heaps of people here but we have 360° of wonder. 😊
We hope your enjoying CA as much as we enjoy living here. In our part of CA, we can enjoy the warm beaches of Malibu, the playground of Disneyland, the race tracks in the hot desert, and snow skiing all being 45 to 90 minute drive away.
Love the shorts and puff jacket combo. I screams..."all my long pants are in the dirty cloths!" Yep, been there. 😅
More like "I didn't bring any long pants."😀
Those National Park gift shops, hit our wallet everytime with our kids. 😆 We just did Mammoth Cave in Kentucky yesterday. It was pretty cool, close by to where we live in Tennessee, and the kids had a blast on the cave tour. 🙂
Look how big they've grown so quickly. Not the trees, the two little souls you both obviously adore. Blessings all around.
We loved Sequoia National Park.
Sorry for your jeep troubles. Hopefully you can get that figured out soon. The Sequia trees are gorgeous and mystic. Looks like such a great trip and a nice way for the kids to see the World around them. Enjoy..
When you go to Yosemite enter from the South Gate. You’ll love it and pay attention as soon as you’re exiting the tunnel. And driving the Coast line is a must take highway 1 and Carmel by the Sea, Big Sur is also pretty cool.
The Redwoods are the most amazing natural things I've ever seen. California is off the charts beautiful.
We love both Sequoia and King's Canyon National Parks. Breath-taking trees, beautiful scenic views, clear fresh air and nice people. We like the Southern route for scenery but it is very very winding and narrow. Better with an RV to do the Northern route. Glad you all got to see the Black Bears (older juveniles can sometimes be brown or reddish in color).
You spend soooo much time editing your TH-cam videos, and this one was really "special", GREAT work. Thank you.
Thank you very much!
Loved the video! We dream of visiting these parks someday and seeing them through your eyes is so fun. Seeing those bear scramble up the tree was crazy!!!
So sorry about the Jeep issues. Car stuff is no fun - especially while on the road. So impressed with how you have kept your chin up and powered through. We love being part of Team Journey. All our best!
Absolutely Gorgeous! Thank You for sharing!
Ask the dealer to adjust the clutch to disengage the clutch sooner. I bet you have more than a few inches of play in the pedal before you feel the clutch disengage. Those floor mats, installed correctly or not, should not have kept the clutch from disengaging. I think your pedal is bottoming out before the clutch is completely in neutral. Loving your National Park Adventure videos. Keep them coming!
Walking beneath the beautiful & WONDERMENT inspiring Sequoia giants is a powerful, life impressioning, and awe-inspiring experience!! *So glad you all got to experience it's magic and grateful that you shared it with us.* Spending time in such a spectacular raw, wild, wonder inspiring nature really gives life meaning and perspective. Cheers to appreciating all the countless wonders you have to appreciate on your adventures!
We agree!
To see if it could have been the mats shifting up enough to prevent the clutch pedal from going all the way down just add some retainers that will hold the mats in place. However I think you will likely need to drive it around in town until it acts up, then have it checked over while it is acting up. Could it be that the mats are moving? Yes, but I doubt it. Without having it in my shop though it's all a guess, from the description and how it acted on the video it sounded like the clutch wasn't releasing fully. That can be caused by the pedal not having enough travel, or it could be the throw out isn't operating properly or something with the master cylinder for the clutch getting hot and possibly some air in the system not allowing proper travel. The need for it to be run a while sort of points that way, or a failing pilot bearing that is heating up and binding. You could have them shotgun the parts at it but that's $$$. How many miles are on it? Has the clutch ever been serviced?
Could it possibly be that the master cylinder getting hot (as you said) due to fact they were in Death Valley? Since that was the only place this happened……?
The matsbeing in wrong, guaranteed they were not secured right either, could for sure get behind the pedal and not allow enough travel. Next time get an auto
I can't wait to visit this park with my littles. Thanks for sharing!
Love you guys!!! Fun fun fun video!!! So beautiful!!
Neat travels. J.J. yelling "bears" was priceless.
Love ❤️ the Sierras!!!! We have gone up every year for 60 years! Glad you went before the summer crowds!
Here's a coffee tip kids.... make extra...put left overs in a bottle in the fridge. That way u just have to heat.. I'm in florida.. so it's one of my hurricane prep things... make it.. n freeze it.. so if no power I can always heat some up on gas or wood stove
Great idea!!
I wish I had some magical words to say to you both. Your inspiring your enlightening and you’re living the life y’all deserve
Seeing you love my state like I do has brought tears to my eyes. Welcome to California LJMJ! I wish you the best time ever!
Loved this video so much! I remember having my picture taken in front of that tree in the mid 70’s. Definitely something you’ll never forget. JJ was so cute.. “Trees are awesome” lol
I’m so glad you’re enjoying the beauty and magic of my home state. It truly is one of the most diverse and beautiful places on Earth. Wait until you see Yosemite!
Brings back wonderful memories of our one & only trip to that amazing State in 2000. Cannot wait to go back. So much yet to see & so glad we did see those tremendous Sequoias. Northern California is stellar. Thanks for this great video, from Canada!
Beautiful. Love to hear JJ talk. Such cute children! Safe travels
Super vlog guys, the views and the waterfalls loved it. Can't believe the diagnosis on the jeep. Hope you have a fab week and take care.❤❤🇬🇧
So glad you're enjoying our state.. in California north south east west always find something,up north are the redwoods and there used to be a tree you could drive through but it has since fallen.. California always has some type of hidden treasure to find... Keep enjoying your trip have a fantastic one
Been there done that. So happy for you all. Enjoying the channel. Tks for sharing.
What a stunning park!!
Me and hubby just went to Sequoia yesterday. Awesome experience. It is like another world.
It really is!
Trees are Awesome!💗
Welcome to California! Yeah, the weather in the high sierra is extremely dramatic and can be life threatening when not prepared for. So glad you guys are having fun with this RV set up! Enjoy!
So glad you’ve been able to enjoy lots of different beautiful places in our state. Those trees really are very awesome.🌳
They are!
Your drive on those winding roads was very dizzy in the head. Beautiful scenery at both parks. Thanks for the views,
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you.
What a bummer….we must of just missed you all. It would of been a total blast to run into you guys. Watching your video makes me feel like I am back there. Thanks so much for sharing!
Beautiful scenery! California really does have an amazing variety.
That Class C is turning out to be a great idea. I’m with you about the Jeep. It’s unlikely the floor mats are the problem, unless all this time the clutch has just barely had enough throw to disengage and the heat pushed it over the edge.
Looking forward to the next video.
Yes JJ, tress are awesome! So cute. This video was awesome too;)
Absolutely fabulous video, thanks guys and the kids are adorable
So beautiful and awesome looking. Love sharing the journey with you
Thanks so much
Awesome adventure!
Well that was epic in my book. I loved this adventure. Absolutely beautiful.
Thank you kindly!
Some of California's best offerings. Truly awe-inspiring. Those cold temps can at mile-high elevations can last well into June.
Floor Mats? I wouldn't buy that either... unless it was 😂😂
Welcome to California! Another beautiful job on sharing your journey. There is SO MUCH to explore here and so much diverse beauty. Sorry about the gas prices, it's our attempt to keep the air clean and nature to cont. to thrive. -g
Wow, guys! Upping the game with this video! Great commentary, visuals and music! Thanks for sharing your lives with us. 🙂
Thanks for watching! Thank you.
Great channel I hiked in Kings Canyon in the 70s beautiful place nice Minne Winne 👍👏
Awesome trip, lifetime memories! Great video.
Yes! Thank you!
Loving the journey guys
Loving all your videos. Reminds me your style of videos when you guys were in the class A & airstream! Favorite moments of the video: when Hensley said she missed the warm weather and when JJ spotted the bears first!
Glad you like them!
I miss those beautiful state parks in California. I remember camping up in the high Sierras in early June back in the 70’s with my parents there was snow all around.. I love your videos thanks for taking us on your journey.
Thanks for sharing
Awesome family time!
Awesome video! Thanks for bringing us along!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the video. I know that road, I drove it with my Minnie Winnie too. When we were at the Kings Canyon visitors center in mid April there was still snow around the building.
Beautiful views!
It really is!
BEAUTIFUL!!!! Enjoy the road and stay safe.
Thank you! You too!
So glad you are enjoying California! It really is a diverse state. And it does help to be “smallish” to get campsites in certain areas!
It really does.
Great video! Glad you are getting your Jeep back but hopefully it will be all good! Don’t know what floor mats have to do with gears. But time will tell. Hopefully it will be ok. I can’t believe how cold it got in California. In May. The
Sequoia’s looked nice and tall. Never seen them before until now. Thank you for this adventure. You all took a nice hike. That looked like fun as well. It was snowing there how strange is that? This was a great adventure. Thank you fir this adventure and I hope you have a great night and week and see you soon!
The exact same thing happened with my brother-in laws jeep and we STILL give him a hard time about it. There is some type of switch near or under the mats ....he insisted something was wrong with the transmission, had it towed while traveling ....only to discover it was the mats the entire time. An expensive lesson to learn!!
Told ya!🤭🤭🤭 BIG HONKIN TREES! BEAUTIFUL
THIS IS A GREAT PLACE TO HIKE.. I LOVE SEQUOIA AND BIG SUR BY WHERE I USED TO LIVE
Oh wow, this video just came across and we were also camping in Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Park when you released this video. We were in a tent, though.
That's what I like about the Sierras: it can be 80 during the day and freezing at night
All my camps in the Sierras are between 5000 and 7500. There are great trails in both parks: I grew up camping both and Yosemite.look forward to that video! Stay safe.
Yes, JJ, trees ARE awesome!!!😄
Yes they are!
Way to persevere and overcome!
Glad you enjoyed you visit here in Tulare County
I agree with you floor mats in wrong place is a huge Bravo Seria!!!
I used to live in San Diego where the weather is perfect. Then I moved up to Bass Lake, CA before Yosemite. You have to take a winding road (not bad at all) to Bass Lake. A new to me Ducy's Restaurant opened by the lake. Old one I know burned down. Loved your video, trees, hikes, Northern CA is wonderful!!
YOU GUYS JUST WAIT UNTILL YOU SEE YOSEMITE..SO AWESOME. I LIVE IN FRESNO, AND WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO WORK IN YOSEMITE FOR 3 YEARS. I STARTED AT YOSEMITE LODGE, AND THE VALLEY IS MUCH WARMER THAN SEQUOIA...I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO MEET YOU GUYS IN YOSEMITE AND SHOWED YOU AROUND..ANYWAY, ENJOY THE NATIONAL PARKS HERE IN CALIFORNIA..THEY REALLY ARE AWESOME. LOVE WATCHING YOU ALL....HAPPY TRAILS. OH, MAKE SURE YOU DRIVE UP TO GLACIER POINT. IT IS 7000 FEET ABOVE THE VALLEY AND YOU CAN SEE 3 WATERFALLS UP THERE. YOU WON'T WANT TO MESS IT..MUCH LOVE TO YOU GUYS..Judy
Love the view from on top of that mountain loving your Journey
Thanks so much
I always say that you can't get bored living here in California. Drive 2 hours in any direction and the scenery, and temperature, completely changes. And yes, the mountains do get quite cold, especially at night. We consider that our summer retreat away from the Valley heat. Always dress in layers there and on the Coast.
.When the jeep won't go in gear when stopped, shut the engine off, put the shifter in gear, push the clutch down and start the engine. If it only does it when hot, it's possible the hydraulic clutch fluid needs to be bled to get air out of the system. But then again, floor mats are a logical explanation.
😄….you need coffee this morning…..I love your family and how you guys adapt to what is going on.
Just when I thought your videos couldn’t get any more interesting and exciting BOOM💥 Love your family❤️
Aww thank you! Boom 💥
@@LessJunkMoreJourney my pleasure for sure, about to watch your terrifying video!
I remember driving up to see the general Sherman, just being amongst those trees was like being in a cathedral. There were very few people there that day though. California is home of the multiple outfit changes a day habit. At least in Southern California you need something warm in the morning and something a little cooler mid day and then something super cool in the evening and then something warm again at night.
It’s all about layering☺️🤷🏻♀️
Gee Momma, I wonder where JJ. learned that word!! Lol! Awesome!
Good question!
Way to go JJ! Seeing the bears first was awesome.
The best!
We were there and it was snowing at the top it was so neat and so quiet 🤫👏🏻
Hello there Guys what another great video love them big Trees 🌳. Beautiful... we still can't believe they can't fixed your Jeep. Its still under warranty.. Wow what another great video looks cold loll. Its nice to see you guys enjoying your time together outside. .. family memories last forever. Thanks for taking us along with you everywhere you go stay safe out there on the roads 😊 Take care God bless
Thanks so much
Yes. The north part of California is beautiful.
I agree Nate, it would be hard to believe that the Jeeps problem was the floor mats, highly to 99.9% impossible. I can't wait to see how this ends! I have been looking at jeeps and will await your findings. Have fun..:)
Thank you, fingers crossed!😀
isn't our nation absolutely stunning ..The Good Lord did beautiful work amazing ... the wonder in JJ's eyes so awesome and then Hensley catching the snow .. the wonder of kids ..magical
I thought it was funny when you guys asked if this was California. I live here and I often often forget that it can get cold here, especially in the Sierra mountains. I love watching your videos because of your kids. Although we are a tent camping family, I always look for your videos if we’re visiting somewhere because of your kiddos and gauge if it’s good with our kids.
Thanks for sharing!!
It will keep getting better as you get to Yosemite.
LOL lived in a small town north of Tahoe, everyone told us there were 2 seasons July and winter. It was true. Would get the occasional snow flurry in June. California has a surprise every where you go! Loving your trip, brings back lots of memories. Thanks for sharing yours 🥰
Thanks for sharing!
Such an amazing location
It really is!
Cool vid. Thanks. Planning this trip soon…. Bears were interesting. The mountain top was impressive. Safe travels.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hit up the RED Woods, they are AWSOME as JJ would say.
That was Awesome.
I know this trip has been troublesome - jeep issues - but as far as beautiful vistas and spectacular locations - it’s one of your best.
When its 105 in the central valley (Sacramento) the coast is usually fogged in. Mark Twain said the coldest winter he ever experienced was a summer in San Francisco! High Sierra is the weekend escape from the hot valley summers!
I so,enjoy your life on the road.👍🏻
Thank you so much.
