Lyell Canyon, Day 4

We were due to hike out of the canyon on Friday, but Wednesday morning we decided that between the mosquitos, biting flies, Jenna getting sick that morning, and the next impending thunder storm, we needed to leave before all of our gear got soaked again.  Since Jenna wasn't well, we packed her pack light, and she was okay to walk out with us.  We left just before the thunderstorm and hiked all the way out with the thunder as our background music.  The scenery was beautiful, and we were happy to have had this experience even if it was shorter than planned.  We arrived at the car within a few hours, drove through the valley to see some of our favorite landmarks, and then headed home.
