Imagine getting caught in this if you ran the barricade last night, and I know some of you did. Sorry I am so late with this, but my systems were in a snit this morning, and did not want to cooperate.
The last one took a week to clear, and this one looks bigger in my opinion, but what do I know? Now, the question becomes – which will open first? Rocky Creek or Alder Creek? And when?

Holy moly - we got out of there just in time. Had a group come out from Kirkcreek in the morning after backbacking. Thank goodness.
Only one comment tells me we are all stunned. It seems to be just one after another, and my sense of humor is getting sorely tested. Get comfortable in King City, this one is going to be a while. I have photos coming tomorrow that were taken from up top.
Well, the school is out for Spring Break, so I take a break from "Over the Nacimiento", day after day...and head to the mountains of Idaho. That said, I leave you for now with this poem (it is sung to a bluegrass-style chord pattern, with several "yeehaw's thrown in):
----------------------------------------------------
OVER THE DONNER
when the rain
and the wind
did turn into snow
and it’s up the Donner
I must go …
But the high ridge
dragon’s -breath
blizzard did blow,
as it stood between me
and Idaho
With the grindin’ of the ice
beneath the wheel
I forget to remember
just exactly
what I feel
Through the silent
sleet blade
as sharp as steel
was the barrier with
which I had to deal
But my sweetheart’s rig’s
good to carry me through
and the road
in my headlights
points straight to you
(refrain:)
The wind and the snow,
The wind and the snow
The wind and the snow
It did blow!
The wind and the snow
The wind and the snow
And it’s up the Donner
I did go.
(yee-hah)
