THE PROPERTY!


"buckin' trees and draggin logs" was the theme of the weekend. these logs came down a couple years ago in a storm, so we cleaned them up during the break in the rain saturday.

Since we were clearing out all the dead trees around the camp we had a lot of branches, small trees, brush, etc. to burn that night.

Gilly decided to read the paper by firelight...it worked well at first.

So JohnBoy, Ogre, Big H and I went up to good ol' plumas county the other week, and it was snowing the whole time. All the way up the canyon it was coming down heavy. Good times. This is a shot of spanish creek, about half a mile from my old house, on the bridge to snake lake, the dump, the shooting range, and a load of other great places I spent as much of my time as possible at.

Bucks Summit, end of the line for snow plows. Notice the complete lack of snow gear...we didn't bring any. Why? I don't know. I actually brought my Snow boots to S.F, but when I found out no one else had any, I left them behind. Stupid.

So after a short stay in Quincy we went to Greagle and then back hove via Highway 49. Three and a half very fun hours later we made it to Nevada City. This is what the road looked like for the entire three and a half hours.

We saw this big fellow crossing the road and did what anyone in our situation would do, stop in the middle of the road and jump out to shoot some pics. It was snowing pretty hard and getting dark, so this is the best shot I could get.

Yuba river bridge, at about 8 PM. We've been here many times, but this was the first time at night, and the weather ws nice for a change, so we got out and stretched our legs.
