You can come stay at our house while we're in L.A., Trippin. :S- I don't think our house sitter will mind a guest or two.

dovima - the north end of Hwy 49 is near and dear to my heart. My family has been going up there for generations when when I was a kid, we spent many vacations there. I am familiar with those snow plow markers ;) I remember learning what they were when I was a kid and was absolutely amazed that snow could be that deep - LOL.
