Monday, December 26th
Drive to Arnold

Around Thanksgiving, we made the decision to rent a cabin near Bear Valley, between Christmas and New Year's. Our plan was to do mostly x-country skiing, and maybe some snowshoeing as well. As day after day of clear weather turned to weeks of clear weather, we realized those plans would probably fall by the wayside.

By the time we drove up on the day after Christmas, it was clear that our chances of skiing were minimal at best. It hadn't snowed significantly for weeks, and there wasn't much in the forecast. We figured we'd make the best of it. We left the Bay Area around 12:30pm, encountered little traffic, and arrived at our cabin just after 4pm, even after stopping in Angels Camp for some groceries.
