Snow

We had a 5 day weekend last week and decided to brave the storm and head up to Lake Tahoe for a couple of days. We got to Auburn on Hwy 80 and they closed the road. Luckily for us Eddie has a friend who drives a snow plow up there and gave us an alternate route. What an amazing drive it was. We were glad we had hooked up with a couple of friends who were also heading up there. It felt much better following people than being alone in the middle of nowhere!
This is Hwy20 through Grass Valley.....absolutely beautiful.
The same road, the tree line roads were so beautiful.
This is pulling into Kings Beach (coming from the Nevada/CA side) the next morning we had never seen so much snow on the roads.
Pulling into Kings Beach the following evening -2 days since the drive up- (from the Tahoe City side). Cameron LOVES watching the snow plows. He was happy to be stuck behind them.
Nice lake shot. No matter how many times you see it, it is always amazing!
We had a great trip. The drive up took us 7 hours as opposed the the normal 4 but so worth it. We met a few couples that told us it took them 10 hours so I guess we didn't do to bad. :-)
