December Progress Report

I arrived during a snowstorm at about sunset. There had been a bad accident at the mouth of the canyon: four cars and a pickup truck with a trailer had gone off the road into the ditch all at the same place. After getting past this, I found the drive up to the Carriage House under about 10" of snow, and the visibility was very poor in the flat light. The van literally plowed its way up the drive to the Carriage House with me using the snow banks formed by plowing of previous snow falls as bumpers to guide me up. The farmer across the road plows the drive for us, but he was waiting for the storm to blow by.

Once I was up to the CH, I immediately parked in the Garage and hiked up to take this picture. Now it actually looks like someone is living there!
