Some of our kids went up to play in the snow on December 27. They had a good time but it's really an activity for the young people. Anyway Phil wanted to drive up to find some snow on his day off on Thursday. We drove up the same road the kids did but we went further up the Wind River Road than they did.

It was beautiful blue sky and the road wasn't too bad. We've had so much rain lately that this was a pleasant change even if it was cold. The road goes all around Indian Heaven - but not in the winter apparently.

We got to this viewpoint and you couldn't drive into it. You could see this biffy on the other side and after drinking a soda in the car, I really needed to use it but I figured it wouldn't be maintained in the winter. Phil walked over and opened the door! Here I went.... Mt. St. Helen's played peek-a-boo with the clouds.

Thanks for breaking the trail for me, honey. It was knee-deep.

Snow had fresh sparkly powder on top. Sure was pretty.

Anyone for a picnic?
