5-22 Winter Wonderland

Unread postby George Stoudenmire » Wed May 22, 2019 5:10 am

This Morning finds 484, 463, & 488 all steamed up. But, alas, Winter does not seems to be paying any attention to the calendar with the start of the season this Sunday. Colorado web cam shows Chama pass with a good covering of snow.

This is going to be and interesting opening season. I would love to be there on opening day. Sorry, for some reason I cant not do screen captures.

But, I'm stuck in Houston with 90 degree heat. :sad:

488 and 463 are in front of the east stall. As for 484, she was sitting in front of the stall in the evening but has now disappeared.

If 484 is inside the west stall, where is 489?

As 463 heads for water, 484 comes out towing 488, and shoves her inside the west stall. 463 then heads for a fire clean.

How say Ye, Osier?

Unread postby Karl Strauss » Wed May 22, 2019 10:42 am

Wondering if anyone has information regarding snow levels and forest road conditions at and to Osier.
If I recall, it wasn't that many years back that they had to use a grader to open the road - and that was a storm season that quit much-earlier than this.

Thanks in Advance.

484 heads back to the house for a deserved rest. Quite a day.
