It's officially Winter

Sonora and Tioga Passes are closed for snow. The temps are dropping down into the kind of territory that makes you happy to be sitting indoors by a warm fire. And the outside gear catalogs are giving the postman a hernia.

Time for P to pick up a paintbrush again, and look through the trips of years past to select a few nice shots. And stock up on maps and books about hiking, so that we can start to plan our summer adventures for 2018.

Hope you and yours have a very happy holiday season.
