We left Yosemite National Park by way of the Wawona Road, California 41, from Yosemite Valley past Chinquapin, Wawona, the Mariposa Grove, and Fish Camp on the way to Fresno. Rain had already started falling in the valley when we left. We drove through the fog and clouds for most of our journey, but the fog lifted enough in a couple of places to capture some images of our March 2018 scenic drive.
