Snow, snow and more snow!

What a day!
According to the folks who own this campground, this is the most snow they have had in the 14 years that they have been here.
We awakened to this beautiful scene.  Beautiful when observing through the windows but it was 24F, blowing at 26mph and gusting to 35mph.
Right behind the campground is a trail that begins in an arroyo and continues for miles and miles.
We felt the need to play and get pictures through a narrow area of double S curves in that arroyo.


Vic checks the propane while I take a few photos of the area around us.







The beginning of the arroyo.





The drifting begins.


The narrows (S curves)





A four foot drift...... now we are pushing snow that comes over the hood.
Time to turn around.
We then made a trip to town to see how much snow was there.  Supposedly they ALWAYS get more snow than here.  Not this time.

Coming back to the campground - the road gets pretty soupy when wet.
