jen and i finally got a free weekend to hang at the cabin together to do some crafting. the weather report said snow to come sunday afternoon... well it arrived this morning instead and lets just say we had to rush home or be stranded (not that we would have minded at first, until the power went out and we felt how truly cold it was up there).
we had to find the chains for the tires (somewhere in the garage), hope they fit the car (luckily they did), find someone to help us get them on or actually do it ourselves...(luckily we found a helpful neighbor who helped out, it was blizzard conditions at this point). we drove out in the snow covered roads ok, but had a heck of a time getting the chains off midway down the mountain (oh and jen, guess what? we lost the rubber cords... remember how we frantically threw them to the side when that one chain was tangled in the wheel and cars were spraying us with sheets of icy water? well we forgot to pick them up again, oops!!! and we left the plastic case in front of the cabin too, yikes!!!) oh well, at least we managed to get down safe and sound in a reasonable amount of time. too bad our "crafting weekend" didnt get much crafting done! but an adventure we DID have!
we arrived saturday to sunny skies and piles of snow
the only door we could get through
taking pictures
sunset on the lake
one heck of a huge pile of snow
well, we got more than enough snow this winter, will be nice to see the lake full again.
thanks for being such a great sport jen!
Well, the chain box is a total doh - but I had the rubber thingys in my jacket pocket! So, at least they are not lost.
ReplyDeleteThank you soooo much for a great time, and for challenging us to do things we didn't think we could!
Oh, I would really not have liked getting sprayed with icy water--I'm sure you didn't like it so much, either, but you seem to have been a good sport about it!
