I was there that day.

Best part for me was how empty the park was during the day. They were limiting access due to the pandemic, so went early and spent the whole day. Lots of folks who did have tickets were just coming for the firefall, so at times we had bits of the park to ourselves.

At one point I walked in a bit to get a better photo of Yosemite Falls and when I got back over by that little stone bench where John Muir's cabin was there was nobody there at all. Like, I couldn't see anyone, I couldn't hear anyone. That part of the valley that never happens, at least not during the day.

So for five minutes I sat on the bench and felt like I was in the morning of creation. I'll never forget it.

I have a pair of TEVAs I’ve had for almost 20 years now, wear them regularly ever summer.

Downside: They will not in any way help you get laid.
