Moved In!

We finally moved in a couple weeks ago.  After unpacking constantly we are just now getting unburied from the boxes.  We also don't have much furniture yet but will work on that next.

Snow Camp 2025

The Sierras got a big storm the day before we got up there.  This made for lots of powder that was very difficult to snowshoe through.  So we took a shortcut along the road a bit and followed some ski tracks to one of the camp host sites.  We were able to make a one person snow cave and hit the lodge for drinks and hockey.
