finally winter

i love the snow, and thus the winter

and (besides the annual Riley trip to Colorado) i haven't had too much of a winter

but the past week Haynes and i have seen snow in the beautiful Sierra Nevadas

first in the meadows and giant forests of Kings Canyon and Sequoia and now at Lake Tahoe

we are here next to the fire in the house of some friends and did some great skiing together

i love the snow

almost out of Arizona

haynes and i are on our way

we made it here to Page, Arizona, after passing through several national monuments and parks (the most notable one being the Grand Canyon)

see our trip stops and photos at: goldrushof09.blogspot.com

at those stops we have picked up around 5 pounds of trash

see details of the trash pick up at: reducereuserecycleread.blogspot.com

now we're about to cross over Glen Canyon Dam and head into Utah

peace
