Hello there! Loved the 3 videos of Hume Lake and the Sequoias. Just wanted to tell you about a tree you can go see there, not too many people go see it because it's at least a mile hike up...It is the Boole Tree...this tree was so big that they didn't cut it down and they named it after the supervisor of the cutting crew. The Boole Tree (GPS NAD 83: 36.823889, -118.949167) is a giant sequoia in Converse Basin grove in Sequoia National Forest, in the edge of Kings Canyon, 5 miles (8 km) from Grant Grove in Kings Canyon National Park in the Sierra Nevada in eastern California. Converse Basin used to be a large grove, but was logged of most of its giant sequoias between 1892 and 1918. Now only perhaps 60 large specimens survive out of thousands. This grove is the largest contiguous grove in the world. The tree was named around 1895 by A.H. Sweeny, a Fresno doctor, after Franklin A. Boole, a supervisor of the logging operation who spared the tree's life due to its great size. Before 1931, it was thought to be the largest tree in the world, but it's now known as the sixth largest tree and the largest tree within the U.S. Forest Service.

I failed at Humes Lake... but I'm sure there some good creeks and small lakes worth hiking to for fish..
