[nabs-l] Tourism Stratagies?

[Tatyana]

I've been in Sequoia national park with sighted people. We did a trail and 
spent a night in the backcountry.
Smell is buityfull, sugar pine cones are as long as my half of arm. Sequoia 
cones are small but bark is soft and texture  is strange. I walked around 
the  tree which has largest volume in the world, its diameter is 30.5 feet. 
I walked inside a fallen tree, through its hollow trunk.

Tatyana.
