we might have had to endure rain and snow, but it was still a nice mountain drive

we're settled in our cabin outside one of the ski towns and the husband is napping after a soak in the hot tub. the roads were wet, but the drive wasn't bad. i'm just hoping we can get down the mountain so easily on sunday.

here's a burn area from the big fire in 2012, it still looks a lot the same as it did right after.





at the top of one of the mountain passes







our neighbors at the ranch



and the view



i'm going to wind up with hundreds of pics from the trip, but i think i'm off to a good start
