In my backyard - took me about 5 years to bother to check it out

 Taylor Reservoir

Starting to Feel Like Spring?

 Cruising the Rat Farm after dealing with stunningly stupid DMV experience. I would put them up against the worst bureaucracies in the world - India, Russia .... no contest. If I worked there I would shoot myself.

My trusty Mercedes 240 Diesel - I could drive it to the moon (at 50 MPH)

To me, the Mother Mountain, Shasta

In the distance the snow geese are back - Hard to see but, when they take flight, it's impressive.

Below Zero - Everything Frozen ....

 

Widow Valley Creek

 Explored Widow Valley creek. Not far from home but isolated so I had never been here before. Not sure if there are any fish, but will attempt at some point. Usual detritus from grazing cattle - not sure how clean the water is as a result. Regardless, at least a good picnic/nap spot.

Well, Snowshoeing but no Skiing

 

Completed my Encinitas Sojourn - Snowshoeing and Skiing Planned this Week
