Fourteen degrees.That was the temperature in Fairplay (Saturday) as I took a trip to The Lot to check on the RV trailer and storage shed.<\/p>\n

It had been a couple of months since I was at The Lot, shutting down for the winter season. I thought it was a good time to check to see if mice had made their way into The Box – they have not.<\/p>\n

Even though the temperature was cold, it was a gorgeous winter day. The sky was clear and the sunshine bright off the fresh winter snow. Below are a few photos I took during the outing.<\/p>\n

The Box, December 29, 2018<\/p><\/div>\n

I was surprised to be able to make it up the driveway in the car, without four wheel drive. The heavy snow months in the mountains – January and February – are still to come.<\/p>\n

Here is a view down the drive and looking out over South Park:<\/p>\n

Even the higher parts of The Lot, those facing south or southwest, didn’t have a heavy blanket of snow:<\/p>\n

And, to those who received one of our Solstice cards, this view of The Nook may be a bit familiar:<\/p>\n

While the air was dead calm at The Lot, a breeze was blowing light snow across Elkhorn Ranch Road a few miles away:<\/p>\n

It was a good day to be in the mountains and I was relieved to find zero evidence that rodents had taken up residence in The Box. After walking around The Lot a bit, and distributing some odds and ends of bread products for the chipmunks and squirrels, I jumped back in the car and headed home.<\/p>\n

I have a few days off for \u00a0New Year’s break. Tomorrow we’ll begin to take down outdoor decorations in advance of an approaching storm. This holiday season seemed to fly by very quickly!<\/p>\n

Have a good New Year’s Day, everyone.<\/p>\n

That’s it for now. Thanks for looking in!<\/p>\n

My New Year’s Resolution is plain (but not-so-simple) — locate and purchase that retirement property in the Midwest.<\/p>\n

Happy Trails.<\/p>\n
