There were five of us travelling through west coast from Phoenix to San Francisco and part of the journey involved a drive from Death Valley to Yosemite. In the morning it was scorching hot and we were in light summer clothing. By the evening we reached the entrance over the 5 mile long pass over the mountains to our destination. The road was blocked with barricades and a sign saying “closed due to snow”. Being a contingent of English and Scottish we naturally moved these and drove through. An interesting drive through snow and on one occasion a downward hill covered in ice. As all our warm kit was packed we filled up with petrol in freezing cold. Unable to find sufficient accommodation we all shared one room and the next morning after a short drive I took the picture.
