Today we decided to take a road trip to the snow! After all the rain we had this past week it was the perfect opportunity. We tried to go to the snow the day after Christmas but got lost and came back home.
We took Highway 166 to the Mt Pinos / Frazier Park turnoff just before you reach Maricopa. We drove up the mountain and stopped for a bit to let the kids have fun, Candace wasn’t impressed but the boys sure seemed to enjoy it. We got back in the car and drove some more… This is the point where there is so much snow it’s covering the road way and we slipped around a few times but finally made it down the other side of the mountain to find lots of people riding down snow covered hills. So we stopped at the local store in the town and picked up a couple snow boards for the kids and Cameron.
We decided to head back towards home before it got dark since the roads were covered with ice and snow. But before we left we threw some snow on the car to see if it would last until we got home, every truck there was shoveling snow into the bed of their truck before they left. We finally left and found that the CHP had the road closed getting back through the mountain due to the road conditions but let us through so we could get back home.
So did the snow make it home? No. But my car has mud smeared all over it from the snow that was thrown at my car.
