We explored.  We got sick.  We drove through a fire.  We wanted to stay another week, but decided against it because it could snow any day, and the first place to get snow is Tioga Pass, which is the only way we could get out.  We left on a Saturday and it was 90F, the next day it snowed on Tioga Pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1
