Yes Mike, I was running 6 1/2 miles for fun. It's a trail that you have a love/hate feeling. You hate running it, but when you are done, it's a huge accomplishment. it certainly kicks your butt.

It might be time to love a less "Scenic" route until Spring--We are moving into the months that El Nino will affect us--lots of nasty weather in December to February.

Kelly, last night I was watching a TV program on the Donner Party and was wondering if all that occurred near where you live, run or have your cabin? I have always been fascinated with that tragic story.

You should come out next summer and vacation near there--It is not far from Lake Tahoe.

Nearby yes. I am about 35 minutes from Donner pass. It's a very treacherous area in winter, so you can really see how this happened to them. A very beautiful area too. I have a picture of Donner lake, I'll post it when I get home.

Impressive.

I'm to the point where walking up a hill kicks my butt.

Thank you. The worst part is a 31.6% grade. I can't run that part, it's literally straight up a mountain.

Where I live, I can get a fairly steep grade...going over an overpass....

You are a funny guy Ron. I've been to Woodland, it's pretty FLAT.

We went up to the mountains this morning to cut our Christmas tree. Tucker had a really hard time choosing.



He used a completely different approach than Michael and me.









We cut this one down without even peeing on it first! Michael got it started and I finished it off!







Craziest part was the fleet of Willys Jeeps they use to transport people to the trees. Scariest ride of my life!



After cutting the tree we drove up higher to play in the snow. Fun day!

 

[mlm Mike]

Oh my, what a great time it must have been! Tucker wasn't picking trees by peeing on them, he was eliminating them from the possible list.
