Mono Lake to Mammoth Lakes to Death Valley to Pair a Dice

This post is not in sequential order. Drafted but no published until March 2016. Contents are photos.  
In Fall 2013 we left Virginia City passing Mono Lake, the East Side of Yosemite. Tioga Trail leads to thru Touolume Meadows which is park of Yosemite.
We spent the night in Mammoth Lakes.
We saw Devil's Post Pile. Amazing formation best explained here.
