Snow Days!!

All Week long schools and business have been closed.  Angela was able to spend the entire week over at my parents house as we filled out days with lounging around the house watching movies with the occasional trip out to brave the weather.  On one of the first days of the storm I decided to park my truck in the driveway with the fear that it might get damaged being parked in the street.  Well it turns out that my truck was the one that wanted to do some damage because when I came out to check on the weather an hour later it had slid all the way down the driveway and was parked half way in the street.  Just a little scary. There was just enough snow on the driveway (maybe 1/8 in.) to help it slide down.

Just after one day of snow fall...

How I found my truck after is slid down the drive way

Don't worry, we also made time to do a little sledding as well.

Goldmyer Hot Springs

We finally made it and we don't really want to go back again.  As a scout I had my first opportunity to venture out to Goldmyer.  It was a great adventure, our scout leaders drove fast on an unimproved road and we had to ford a river with snow on the banks.  What more could you ask for in a camping experience when your young.

Well after some flooding in 2006 or 2007 some of the road out to the site washed out and now the fun drive has been cut short and you have to hike for four miles just to get to the trail head.  Four miles isn't a lot but its not worth going to a hot springs that was packed with a bunch of nudies.

At the Goldmyer Trailhead

I had the great Idea to bring bikes to help make the trip shorter.  Well, there were four of us and only two bikes, well more like 1.5.  My mom's bike has seen better days and both Angela and Hannah gave up on it a little fast.  So to counter that I had Hannah and Angela take turns riding on my handel bars.  It didn't work out as well for them as I had hoped but it still made for a fun experience.

Angela and me near the Dingford Creek Trailhead

Angela had never been there before so I wanted her to see what it was like.  Now we can check that off our list of things to do.  It would have been better if we had chosen to go on a non holiday weekend and we all had bikes.  So if you want to go, bring bikes.
