Once again our snow wheeling destination was blocked by logging equipment. This time an excavator lost a track and was stuck in the middle of the road... 50 feet from fresh snow. We headed out to a different road and eventually found some snow. The dreded Cascade Concrete. Initially the snow wasn't very deep, but it was very difficult to drive in and after one pass became extremely slick. The steep sections of road were especially difficult. None the less we pushed forward and made a day of it.

Snow Logging
Found this snow covered bridge that had a little surprise for us
Great pictures.
I envy you guys being so close to the cascades.
Sounds like all the snow in the PNW right now is slick snot then?

If you live in Rochester, you should have plenty of places to go right now. I don't know the south end, but anything over 2,000 feet should have plenty of snow. Pull a map or google earth and see what's close to you.
As for the snow...you never know what you'll get. It changes by elevation, time of day, temperature, etc. That's what makes it fun and challenging! You are forced to change your driving style. Yesterday was some of the most difficult snow I've been in for quite some time. Extremely slick. I haven't gone through my gopro video yet, but hopefully have I have some shots of us sliding around.

2 hours into editing my video WMM took a crap and the GoPro CiniForm won't open the videos that I have to allow me to edit them. Screw this I may put up a video from yesterday but I doubt it. I am about done with the GoPro if I can not edit videos.

That opening with the snow falling is pretty cool. I like the front bumper shots too!
