Over the river and through the woods to Forked Meadow we go. The 4runner knows the way to carry the presents over the snow-covered roads.
I went up to Forked Meadow for a few days during the holiday break. Luckily the roads weren’t as bad as they were at Thanksgiving. The creek is really flowing through the meadows with melting snow.

The Monterey harbor fleet was out in full force tonight in all their holiday splendor. This is a wonderful annual tradition where all of the boats come through decorated in lights. It’s so wonderful to watch!
Dawn came with Poofy waiting to sit on my lap. The snow was gorgeous in the early morning light.
My truck was being temperamental with starting. I finally traced the issue to the air flow meter gate being frozen shut. I had to use some heating pockets to warm it up enough to get the gate moving so the truck could start. I had this same problem back in Oregon when it got cold enough but not in Colorado. It’s a very strange problem.
The burn piles did a great job of eliminating the extra woody debris. And wow the cornice on the house is crazy big! It reminds me of a glacier.
