The plan was to head to Pioneer CA and spend New Years with our friends Kip and Pat who we spent four months traveling with this past summer. Yep, it was only 4 months although every time we talk about it the time gets longer. We left on Sunday in the Motorhome knowing they get snow at their home but it hadn’t rained in several days so I thought the snow would have melted! Wrong! About 3 miles before their home we find snow on the ground and not just a dusting. By the time we reached the turnoff I was really nervous about pulling off the highway into a neighborhood with this much snow. I could see some of the roads were not plowed. We were lucky, at our turn the road was cleared but not the next road! All I could see was uphill and ice on the ground and it was way more snow than I was expecting! This is going to be a cold week!
After passing the turn. We didn’t miss it Paul just wasn’t willing to turn while I was complaining that we can’t make that street. We pulled off at the next turn where we unhooked the car and I drove up the hill to their home, handed over the keys and said “Go, find Paul and my house and help him up your street!”
Kip found Paul and directed him to our site next to the house and we got set up. There was about 6 inches of snow pack on the ground and it was really cold. It turned out perfect and we had a great visit and a wonderful New Years Eve, enjoying music and singing at their golf club. Kip was part of the entertainment so of course we had a great time!
New Years Day was a huge brunch compliments of Pat, her sister Vi and two of our other friends Janet and Judi. Way too much food, great football and relaxing indoors watching the ice cold snow on the ground outside.
