    As a California native, those holes actually look like gopher or ground squirrel holes...snake holes tend to be a lot smaller and the dirt around the opening is more compact, whereas with the others is more loose dirt. That being said, ALL of California is snake country, I live in the Bay and even in the parks here, there's gopher snakes, garter snakes, the occasional king snake and rattlers too. Word of advice, if you hear a rattle, it means you're too close...freeze in motion, identify the location and slowly back away...which speaking of, as a fun fact, the California Ground Squirrel is actually immune from rattlesnake venom! Love seeing you guys in my neck of the woods! No punt intended! < That one was tho :P Happy Birthday, Denz!!!

      I grew up in the central valley. Tell you what, those gophers can be more dangerous than the snakes! The number of times I've sprained an ankle in a gopher hole (and one time chipped my tibia on a rock because of a gopher hole) FAR outnumber the times I've ever encountered a rattler. Let alone be threatened by one.

    What you thought were "snake" holes are actually ground squirrel holes. Here in Oregon we call them "Digger Squirrels". If a snake comes out it's only because he decided to be a squatter. No squirrel, then he has a new home!

      I think I'll pass on the rabbit and groundhog theory. The hole would most likely be larger. Of the rabbits that do dig their own burrows, they are usually pretty good size with a few exceptions (Not totally out of the picture and still a contender) but a diglet could be the answer!!😂😂😂

      We do have Redwoods and they do grow much faster in the Rotorua region due to the volcanic soil but they are grown for forestry so would be cut down before getting too big. They were introduced to create a forestry industry and Rotorua is famous for sawmills. If you did leave them yes they do grow faster than they are supposed to due to more than ideal conditions.
      I do live in a log home in New Zealand made from Radiata Pine, also a California native tree, also introduced to Rotorua region for sustainable forestry. These homes hold up very well in earthquakes as the wooden beams absorb the energy very well so a good choice for New Zealand homes

    Denzel's surprise party was so sweet! He looked a little shy and embarrassed when you sprung it on him, but he warmed up to it pretty quickly.
    I think the tipped-over tree that Atlanta and Denzel were climbing on was a California laurel (Umbellularia californica). They often grow near water. The leaves are aromatic, and are sometimes used as a substitute for bay leaves.
    You do such a good job of showing the beauty of the places you visit, and also showing how much you love it. I'm looking forward to seeing more!

    I SO loved family trips when I was a kid. Had so much fun and made so many memories. Filled my brain storage up with sights sounds and tastes. Can never take them from me and Ive got photos to prove it. My family is all gone now and Im alone. So having the memories of all that is very very special to me. Thanks dad. These moments are precious. To have them to look back on in the far future is something special.

    It really does make a statement for me when it takes this wonderful family to remind me of the beauty I so much take for granted. When I see through their camera what they see, and hear their comments, it changes my perspective of my own back yard. Collectively, I think we get so much more out of them, than they get out of us ❤.
    Peace and safe travels to “my” New Zealand Family. Cheers.

      Would you suggest going in the fall? My mom has been pressuring me to take her. She's never been. We're four hours away. I've seen it in the summer so would like to maybe see a different season. Not sure winter is a good idea.

    So during rain season, the further north you go everything that was golden is a bright green. It changes in about 2 weeks of medium rain and 1 week of heavy rain and takes a month or two during fall to turn gold/brown again.

    For those of you following along, the Yosemite RV Resort is actually just outside Coarsegold, CA, approximately 25 miles (40km) from the south entrance to Yosemite National Park on CA-41. (I lived in Fresno 45 years, often went to Yosemite since I was only an hour's drive away!)
