Mud & Snow...

what could POSSIBLY be MORE FUN???

The mountains have been dumped on..and the snow looks sooooo pretty :)

Tim and I took a ride around over the weekend..and decided to head up the mountain to Idyllwild to find snow to play in..and play we did :)
The trails were covered in snow..and much to our delite..we found MUD too :)

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

And found this man in Idyllwild carving this Bear ...isn't it amazing???

In Idyllwild ..Tim poses by some snowbanks :)

Then... that nite..we had VISITORS to our catfood dish out on our back patio!!!

These guys were HUGE!!!

Big Bear Blast!

Our trip to Big Bear was a blast! The jeep took us on trails up and around Big bear..and even way out into Yucca Valley! The sights were amazing..and we even spotted snow left here and there along the trail.
We passed thru some of the burn areas from last fall..and what an eerie feeling that was.. everything charred..and very quiet..almost like we were tip-toeing thru a graveyard.
The camper is now cleaned and put away..til next month when we head up to Yosemite again.. I can't wait as I've been waiting since last year to visit Yosemite in the Spring! Hopefully the waterfalls will be gushing and the bears will be awakening :)
