Just heard from a reliable source (CalTrans) that Monitor Pass will be closing Saturday at 4:00 p.m. PT due to the impending storm. Fingers crossed we'll get lots of snow!

Hwy 4 at Raymond Meadow Creek on Friday. Gate closed but not for long we suspect. 🤞#ebbettspass

A few shots taken during our recent gravel forays in Grover Hot Springs State Park. Sure is pretty here right now! #gravel #markleevilleca

Happy ‘Cicle Sunday!

Just a wee bit of snow last night. That’s our deck rail just peeking out. Over 2 feet in about 12 hours!

Happy bluebird day!
