Thanks everyone. We just started moving things in. It's going to be a long few days lol.

It’ll be a memorable Christmas!

Blessings to you and yours
Alex!

Hey Alex, how’s it going!

Looks like you’ve got a real “trial by fire” first year living in Truckee.

Or, trial by blizzard more accurately!🤣

How are you settling in?

It's been a blast. The kids had thier first snow day yesterday and I've already been through 2 gallons of fuel on the snowblower lol.

The only thing I miss is the shipping time and access to stores like home depot but I'll gladly take the trade off.

Hopefully I'll get the jeep up here towards the end of the month.

We went for a bit of a snow run today towards stampeed reservoir. The snow was well packed and didn't have any issues.

We did stumble upon a subaru crosstrek though that I was told has been out there for 3 weeks. When we showed up I was really greatful it wasn't a @Thunderhead experience.

Also, had to do a posser shot on a rock that fell onto the highway from the hill.

Congrats on the move! What a time to move up to truckee. We should hit the trail! I wanna run up to Cisco grove in to snow soon

No kidding. We jumped in the jeep end for sure.

I'm down for a run. I can't wait to explore the backroads around here. There's a few fire look outs I have my eyes on but likely low level as far as difficulty go. I'm ready for fordcye to melt though...

Signal peak and fordyce are a short trek down the hill.

I still think about Ol Elder “Huey” Kenny often while I’m driving OTR

The dog started sniffing around a tree near by and I was a bit concerned as I walked over. I was glad to hear hours later that the guy who got stuck made it back down to reno. I couldn't imagine abandoning my car for 3 weeks though.
