    Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree,
    Merry merry king of the bush is he.
    Laugh, Kookaburra, laugh, Kookaburra,
    Gay your life must be!
    Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
    Eating all the gumdrops he can see
    Stop, Kookaburra, Stop, Kookaburra
    Leave some there for me.
    Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree,
    Counting all the monkeys he can see
    Stop, Kookaburra, Stop, Kookaburra,
    That's no monkey, that's me.

    Great video.
    Todd’s facts about the seeds is right on. The bird was real!
    I looked it up and they are the ancestors of the Cuckoo bird.

    So glad you enjoyed Sequoia and Kings Canyon. Truly awe inspiring places. Can't wait to here about the funky motel. Sorry you had to go through that! Don't understand what happened to your reservation. How can you make a reservation, but "not hold" it? Say what?

    We camp there every year. My kids swim in the river every year. The dangerous part is on the way from campgrounds to Boyden Cave. Several people have died, they never found them, because they went rafting in the river near the cave. Very irresponsible choice. Everybody jumps from the big rock into the river at Roads End too. Very fun! I think you missed Roads End!! 😪 Maybe next time! 👍👍They used to have school in the fallen tree!

    Todd, hide the map from Shiela for Yosimite because i see a massive hike in your future. Its called Half Doom. It is a good full day hike. Difficulty is rated a 10+. But it completely over looks the Yosimite valley. Make sure you have plenty of water. Safe travels and roads Brian and Cindy. "Xtreambydesign with passion "

      @@SwitchItUpLife Has 3 beautiful falls on the hike. Vernal falls, Nevada Falls and Yosemite falls. How ever it includes Half Doom is the last part you go from 1000 feet at the base of the Valley to over 8,000 feet at the top. Did it in my 20's and it wooped my butt. I wouldn't even attempt it today. With a minimum of two months prep. Good luck.
