Map of driving for day

My second day at Sequoia. Drove up through Kings Canyon, then went to see the Grant Tree later in the afternoon, went up to Panoramic Point, which gave probably the best view so far in the park. Finally, I attempted to go see the Chicago Stump (the stump from a Sequoia that was chopped down so part of it could be exhibited at a World's Fair in Chicago), but I couldn't actually get to the trailhead. Fairly far down the dirt road to get to the trail, some rain runoff had cut a ditch across the road at the bottom of a small hill, and I didn't think my car had the ground clearance to cross it, coming in at a steep incline. At least not without a proper jack to get me out if I didn't make it.
