Trip to California

[Cave_Troll]

I appear to be going to Mountain View, California, for a couple of days in September.

If i extend the trip for a couple of days any one got any ideas or contacts for a fun couple of days ?
I've thought about hiring a car and going bouldering / sightseeing in Yosemite. I'm guessing there are some dive centres somewhere that i can pay to play with.

I have a load of photographs from this cave and the surrounding area, as part of that assignment, late 2009.
Can also give you a couple of contacts from this trip. Well worth a visit!

I went to CA a few years back and visited Yosemite, King's Canyon and Sequoia National Parks. For my money, Sequoia was the best; I felt that Yosemite was too crowded, while Sequoia was much less busy. We had a great camp-site next to a river . . . fantastic place.

And I was totally gob-smacked by the big trees ? the eponymous sequoias. They simply have to be seen to be believed.
