Adventures in Snow.....Part I...........


"Where is Mona?
She's long gone....
Where is Mary?
She's taken her along....
But they haven't put their mittens on
And there's fifteen feet 
of pure white snow......"
- from Nick Cave's Fifteen Feet of Pure White Snow







We packed the snow coach, and were ready to head out in search of snow and quiet and the beauty of the woods.  Our direction was 3 hours North - Tahoe Land. Route 80. Look for Donner. That was our spot. A big storm had come in the night before, and the mountains of white were stunning.


A puppy was very excited to be traveling. Her paws had not touched snow in a while.

We arrived at Borreal, a SnoPark. 
Packed with snow & people.
We bundled our bodies & our day pack......
The snowshoes were ready to go.......

And we were off..........

A winter wonderland........











We encountered a mighty snow machine....look at the size of that drill........

Serious traction......if only puppy had that traction.......


Pure beauty........



So cold, icicles started forming on Scott's stash.....


We will be back for sure........stay tuned.......
AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!
