From snow to water.I've traveled alot this break and its been great. Word to the Wise: Remember that when you drive to a place that is farther than you expected you need a full tank of gas or else you'll have to stop in a dinky little town and be at the mercy of a nice old man. Let me just say that we made it to our destination six dollars(for half a gallon) and two clusters less later.
enjoyed some time in San Luis Obispo:)

when cross country skying with my family we passed this beautiful scenerio, two perfectly round circular balls that had rolled down this tree trunk. Can you see the swirl?
I thought it would be fun to free a small tree from the heavy load of snow that was packed on top of it. As I proceeded to hit it with my pole it, very unceremoniously, swung up and threw all the snow on me. Very funny. It's okay though because I wasn't the only one who spent some time in the snow. When I tried to throw a snow ball behind me, I fell right to the ground, but still succeeded in hitting Nicholas on the forehead with the snowball:)
