Snow? Sorry Colorado, go to the Sierras

Yep, even more snow than last month, see last night's snow on the railing. Fortunately it snowed because when we drove up yesterday afternoon it rained all the way until the summit between Shaver Lake turnoff and Dinkey. This picture was taken about 8am and by 10:30 the snow is already dropping from the trees as it warms up. The snow was just about level with the eves of the pumphouse, look for that picture tomorrow. We stopped at Shaver and bought a tarp to cover the suitcases on the sled yesterday and by the time we arrived at the cabin there were several inches of very heavy wet snow on the top. No stopping to dig the camera out from it's dry little home under the tarp.
Sourdough pancakes with bacon and eggs for breakfast and enough coffee, bread,butter and steak in the freezer for the rest of the season, and next year. All is well.

  1. Beautiful snow once again. Will it ever melt so we can drive in this summer? How long did it take you to trek in?

  2. About 40 minutes, but that's because (sigh) I took a wrong turn.
