This week has been an interesting one to say the least. I came home on Monday evening from seeing Elaine and drove through 2-2.5' of new snow and almost white out conditions. I was just getting a handle on the trails around Trinity when another big storm moved in and in 2 days got another 3-3.5' of snow. It was snowing so hard that I could hardly see the powerplant from my house about 100yds away. The temps had been staying around 28-33 and it just dumped and then with all the new snow the plant shut down after an avalanche at the dam cut off the water supply to the powerplant. I had to dig out the gashouse door so that I could get the backup generator out and set up to power a few things here. It took about 27 hours for the water supply to get back to normal and since last night it has been running fine, more than many people in Washington & Oregon. They are still without power many places, I'm up a running. The snow finally stopped around dark last night and since Sun evening we have received about 5.5-6' of new snow. Last night the temps dropped to 10 and it was a beautiful night here. I am just waiting for the groomers to groom the road from Fish Lake to Trinity because of such deep snow and possible avalanches along the way it just isn't possible to get out to look for the kids Kaia & Nashaba or to go see Elaine, maybe tonight it wil happen. Then again if there are snowmobilers out this far today I'll know they made it past the slide areas just fine. It is beautiful today with the sun shining bright and all the snow on the trees looks like a winter wonderland and it is. To beautiful to be in here writing I've got to get out and play today. The only thing to make it a perfect day would be Elaine being here to share it with.
We found our Paradise, hope you find your too...
