When you get done with that, look at this:

I wonder if $61,000 would even get you across the street nowadays.

Great series of slides. What struck me was how much is still similar to the 60's. (behind the grocery store in Yosemite Village, Ohmstead Point, the Ahwahnee, etc)
I didn't see any pictures of cars boiling over, which used to be a common event on the climb into the valley and on trans-sierra trips.

Well to answer my own question, I plugged in $61K here.

And found out from Crocker's Station to McLean's (Tioga) would be only $1.3 million.

What a bargain. $1.3 mil might cover a small percentage of the permits. Nowadays.

Just remember, though, that your $1.3M would get you approximately the same quality road as the original.

FF: One of those cars would fetch $61K. Nowadays.
