Just enofe to make the snow last a while longer so quads are limited but not enofe to get the sleds back out.
Its been a bad year, 4 A-arms, 3 shocks, a chain case and 2 lugs on the track lol

It either need to snow alot and stop and melt so we can get on with the summer activities. Now warm rain will be ok too and melt the rest of the snow.

I have some exploring to do when my ranger RZR comes in, in june.

Snowed about 1/2" last night at my place with another 1/2" this am. Most is melted off now though. Still freezing at night here.

We got around 4-5 inches last night - but forecast will probably have it melted off by thursday..

But it's all good - Baseball for the photographer 101 starts Thursday night with the Rivercats/Athletics exhibition game..

Anyone else going to the game??

Per scotts request - SNOW REPORT.

Well I got home early enough tonight - dropped the plow and took off to try and get some shots before it got to dark.

the roads going to stumpy are pretty light - only a couple of spots over 6 inches.. almost road bare though.

Made it to stumpy and got these.. missed my light :(

Continued on up the road toward Uncle Toms. Found a few spur roads untouched..

Image

Started to get a bit dark.. the moon came out

Image

went in about a mile and started back. Stopped when I got to Toms..

Image

The lights of Placerville.. Need to try this one again with a better lens..

Nice, awesome area to live.

Wish it wasn't so far "out there" where you live and that there's no high-speed internet or i'd move out in that area :?
