A sold sheet of ice, almost





Between Mother Nature and the snowplow there's a mighty bank of snow next to the road. Thanks to the UC scientists, the USFS and a multitude of other agencies, the area is being well studied, from critters to water. What that means for us, however, is a break in the snow wall so we don't need ice climbing gear to get up on the snow. And after we're up on the snow, those snowmobile tracks used by the bureaucrats & scientists make for lots easier snow shoe walking the first few hundred yards. At the turnoff to our cabin is the obligatory house number sign and the close up picture shows the snow level in the tree well, and with imagination it's possible to see the tippy top of the same sign from a distance.
