*********Story Time********
So the wife and I loaded up this am for a trip to our “Secret” swimming hole in Mendocino NF. The trail getting down to the swim spot has big wash outs and dips so we got the shovel and pick ax, toe rope and basic tools. We got 10 miles up the mountain and see a guy WALKING towards us. He gives the universal Stop signal by waving his hands over his head. So this guy is from Roseville down by Sac, he is having a ruff patch with his wife and she kicked him out. Anyway, he thought it would be a good idea to come up and cross over into Covalo. Well he didn’t make it. He got stuck in the snow last night and had to sleep in his Nissan Extera. He walked 20 MILES this morning where we picked him up. We headed back up with him in the back with my dog and got back to his Nissan. He was literally 10 feet into a snow patch. Couldn’t get out. So I hooked up to him and popped him out . He was super thankful obviously but man TRAVEL PREPARED guys. So after that we head down to our swim spot to clean the trail up. Saw a momma bear and two cubs! It was so cool momma bear took off but the cubs were not sure what to do lol
Good times
