I'm glad you liked the name. When Snook first started this and I knew I had a part of it the name just came to me. After several weeks it was still with me :)

Yosemite is in the southern Sierra Nevada mountains in California. It was John Muir's favorite place. I can certainly see why. The top location for rock climbing (Half Dome and El Capitan) and nearly unbelievable scenery everyplace. It's a magical place.

Sequoia trees are big. Really, really big. Those in the picture (and in most of the Mariposa Grove) are smallish. General Grant and General Sherman in Sequoia NP are thought to be the two largest living things on earth. Those pictures you see of cars driving through holes in trees? Sequoias.
