We had a good turnout in my small town in Michigan. Most people drove by and honked in solidarity, while others flipped us off and called us losers. 🤷♂️ #NoKings

Sequoiadendron giganteum - oh my they are gigantic! First time walking amongst the giants 🥰 - It was gut wrenching to see the scars from the '21 KNP complex fire - large swaths of mountain sides just gone 😔

Great views at the Ahwahnee except for the dinning room - many windows were blocked due to the restoration/construction. An ongoing restoration project is happening - one of America's great lodges.

Don't get to see many tropical plants/trees in Michigan - glad to have a greenhouse nearby that lets you visit. They have a small Koi pond in the center.
