What a Beautiful Week

This week has been beautiful, the sun has been shining & warm and the nights clear & cold. Peace, Bear &I have been going for walks because the snow is frozen from melting and refreezing each night, it's been great. On Wednesday night we had a total lunar eclipse which was very cool got to watch it for over an hour, but weren't sure because they had been calling for clouds & snow which didn't happen just a beautiful full moon and once the eclipse ended the moon lit up the snow, it was fantastic to see and experience. This morning though when we got up it was snowing lightly almost sleet and 30 degrees with warming today so what snow we get will melt before the day is over. That is what the weekend will be like I believe. We haven't had any snow all week and with the warming trend we have had the snow is down to 8' on our gauge and we still haven't cracked the 40' mark yet but based on what we have experienced here in the last 4 years it's not over yet.

During our walks we have noticed that the Chiwawa River has changed course once again and is now up at the base of the mountains to the west and further away from Trinity so the melt will be interesting to see what happens. We were able to walk up the river for about 1 mile using snow bridges to cross to the other side of the river and got up past the James Creek drainage and it was so beautiful & peaceful, and makes life great.

We found our Paradise, hope you find your's too.
