Hard to Know what is Happening

This past week has brought more changes at Trinity, mostly more snow. It has been more difficult to get out right now because they haven't groomed out this far. Now this is part of the state sno-park system and according to the maps it is a groomed trail. On the latest update they say they groomed out here on Sat which just didn't happen. People tried to come out here and ran into many trees down on the trails. I've been going out everyday since it snowed so heavy and no groomer has been out this far, I've been trying to get out to see Elaine and right now don't know what the condition of the road is coming out here, there are a couple of slide areas I was told that people tried to come out here on Sat but could only get to snowcone because of the downed trees. So I'm confused. They have a schedule that says when they will groom but so far the only time they have been to Trinity was on Dec 6 a week after they were supposed to be here originally. Last night we got an additional 6-10" of new snow and it is still snowing at this time. I'm just looking fot the opportunity to go get the snowmobile instead of having the ATV in here right now, it would be much easier to go in and out right now and much quicker, but it would be nice to know the condition of the slide areas before trudging out that way. Everything happens for a reason and today this is another lesson learned.

Still Missing Kaia & Nashaba

Things just don't seem quite right with Kaia & Nashaba still not coming back but since it hasn't been groomed or no snowmobilers coming out this far to give them tracks to follow that are still out at the other end of the road. I haven't heard from anyone lately that they have been seen or spotted so not sure where they are, I just have to trust that they will be safe. Everything happens for a reason but it is in how we look at things that decides what we will experience. This winter has brought many new lessons to be learned but I believe the biggest lesson I have learned is that I can either choose to have Peace of mind (Love) or conflict (Fear). "If we change the way we look at the things we look at will change" and everyday that becomes more of a reality for me. Some people think we are crazy because of way they look at being out here, we see it as beautiful touched by the hand of God, perfect just as it is, yet others look at it as harsh and unforgiving something to be afraid of, yet we are all looking at the same place. In this time of being alone I know that I am not alone just not present with all of our pack, and realize how connected we really are. Elaine is getting a walking cast today so that she will be more mobile but will still be few weeks away from being able to come home and get around comfortably, the day I am looking forward to happening but must remember to live in today to get the most out of life.

Phelps Creek

This is what Phelps Creek looks like that runs under our auto bridge. It's still flowing but parts of it are freezing up . Last Thur the dam was shut down because of a snow dropping and blocking the inlet to the dam. I was on gas generator for 27 hours which is a very short time compared to what many residents of WA and OR are experiencing right now after the bad storm passed through. These were taken the day the snow stopped.
I still haven't been able to get out yet waiting for them to groom the road to Trinity, no one made it out this far this past weekend so not sure if trees are down or if there were slides between Trinity and Fish Lake the conditions were definitely ripe for slides.
