The Tioga Pass is the only entry into Yosemite National Park from the eastern Sierras. It usually opens between Memorial Day and mid June but sometimes not until July. This will probably be a mid July year. The local businesses in Lee Vining and Bridgeport suffer as a result with hardly any tourists.

Welsh rarebit or Welsh rabbit (/ˈrɛərbɪt/ or /ˈræbɪt/)[1] is a dish consisting of a hot cheese-based sauce served over slices of toasted bread.[2] The original 18th-century name of the dish was the jocular "Welsh rabbit", which was later reinterpreted as "rarebit", as the dish contains no rabbit. Variants include English rabbit, Scottish rabbit, buck rabbit, golden buck, and blushing bunny.
The dish dates from the sixteenth century when only rich landowners could afford to eat deer or birds from the Welsh game preserves. Many ordinary Welsh people were never able to taste delicacies such as rabbit in their entire lives. But they could afford cheese on toasted bread and jokingly referred to it as their Welsh rabbit. The term stuck.

Did I just find a piece of the missing Amber Room here in the Northland?
Remember the dinosaur DNA sourced from amber in the 1993 Jurassic Park film?
The proprietor confirmed that the above piece of amber jewelry was sourced from the Baltic, although she added if it had an insect embedded in it it would be even more valuable.
The region of the Baltic Sea has one of the largest amber deposits on the planet as a result of an ancient pine forest from 60 million years ago. The sap that dropped to the forest floor was embedded in the local sediment and compressed by overlying deposits with the resin becoming fossilized.
In 1701 the original Amber Room was built from the Baltic Amber for the King of Prussia. Russia's Peter the Great admired it and as a result the King gifted it to him to cement the Prussian-Russian alliance. The amber panels were then transported to Russia where they eventually ended up in the Catherine Palace in Pushkin just outside of St. Petersburg where a new Amber Room was created.
World War II came along and the Nazis occupied Pushkin and despite the Russian efforts to hide the panels by covering them with wallpaper the Amber Room was quickly discovered and in less than two days the Amber Panels were removed and transported back to what was by then Germany.
At the wars end the amber panels went missing and unless they were made into jewelry that ended up here in the Northland they remain unfound.
At a cost of 8 to 11 million dollars a new Amber Room was constructed over a 25 year period that began in 1979.
Pictured below is the view of the fountains as seen from Catherine Palace along with my photo of the room next to the reconstructed Amber Room in the palace. (At the time of my visit to the reconstructed Amber Room in 2014 I was not allowed to take a photo in the Amber Room itself. However, if you compare my photo with file photos of the reconstructed Amber Room you will see the exact same ceiling details and the opened door separating the two rooms. )

Now that is the way to recycle used drink containers.
Guessing the locale is somewhere near the Rhine or otherwise close to Bad Durkheim which is known for its huge wooden wine barrel.

Tonedeaf is a nickname given to me in reference to my guitar playing ability.

And then there was the USAF F-22 Raptor overhead:
