He Dewd! We got snowed on out at Rat Trap Gap today! Took the family and the 6.0 out for a 5 hour "Sunday" drive and exercised the 4 high.

Saw some venison on the hoof, but none that was legal. Just good to get out.

Just you "southern" boys. The storm was predicted to be from Mendocino North.

I5 was down to 10 mph due to heavy rain and 1/2" of hail earlier.
