I Can’t See!

It is snowing here in So Cal again, and on the drive in to work this morning I got turned back, the road was closed due to snow and that explained the crazy amount of traffic in our little town heading in both directions. Those traveling west were hoping to go down the pass to avoid the mess on the other part of the pass. And then those coming over from another interstate that was closed hoping to travel on. So I went home and called the Boss.

I said, hey boss I can’t see! He said what? Are you Okay? I said, yes I am just fine however I can not see myself coming into work today, Bye!

So I have extra time to do my thing today, Yea Haw.

I have been wanting to create a post of last Saturday here and my adventure playing in the fresh snow that I woke up to. So here we go.

This tree is certainly not one that would commonly be seen like this, snow all around it and on the branches and such. This tree is used to 40 to 55 Celsius in the summer months, rain we get in August to September so this tree is used to rationing its water supply. After all this melts, these trees are going to be in heaven for a bit.

Here is my old School Rue getting me in and out of the snow playground in the upper desert, was an absolute blast playing in the snow. The little boy came out of me for sure.

My good ol GetUrDone Rue having as much fun as I was. This was the parking lot area of Dollar General store, where a bunch of children were playing in the snow making snow angels, and it looked like a snow ball fight was brewing. The little boys were making up a gaggle of snow balls!

This was an awesome find, by mid-afternoon most of the snow on her had melted off.

I saw this after church Sunday and had to turn around and capture this not so frosty the Snowman. Looks more like a 420 frosty! It was amazing to see all the fun the locals here in the upper desert were having playing in the snow.

This is photo from Saturday afternoon, I live about 20 miles north of here, I drive by this every work day and I so wanted to drive down there Saturday and get my own photos, it is so Fred Flintstones here and with the snow, just wonderful photo opportunity. However, the pass was closed and going around the other way would have sucked up most of the day. And that was not on my to do list so I had to pass on that. I found this picture online, and share it now.

If you look close underneath the bridge the railroad cars are traveling on, you will see some folks having fun with their off-road vehicles. My Rue and I play down there quite a bit from time to time.

I captured this photo Sunday after church also, usually we will see snow just on the very top of this mountain range, not all the way down and into the valleys. Big Bear Lake, Silverwood lake, and Lake arrowhead are all up there, mer hour drive in the summer. Now there is no way in or out of there until they clear the roads.

Good news is, the snow resorts had plenty of snow to play in, my son loves snow boarding, the not so good news is we do not know for sure when we can go play.

Buy the way, to the left of this photo is the way to Johnson valley where the King of the Hammers race is held, about an hours drive from where I took this photo. Ever get a chance to go, go!

And in parting, this is view I look at every day from my place. I have a little fire pit and when the wind is not bonkers, in the evening I’ll enjoy a warm fire as I watch the sun set, right side of the photo, and enjoy the wonderful light show the sun gives the sky and then watch Jupiter appear in the night sky.

I hope ya all enjoy the pictures of my little part of the world here and our temporary winter wonderland.

See ya all next adventure,

Super David Scott, the Zam Man.
