Good afternoon all. Just checking in on local conditions and all. Hope to be up early next week. Have a great day!

Came down Hwy 38 yesterday afternoon. Creeks were really ripping, but no damage or flooding to the highway. Very few rocks, nice and clear, uncrowded, but someone still managed to roll their Ford Explorer at the mouth of Mill Creek Canyon. No matter the road hazard; ice, rocks, curves, oncoming cars, deer, fog; slowing down will make it much better.

Who doesn't love fireworks!?

Hey, Ben. Any hope the wind might decrease sooner rather than later? It's trash night and I'd rather not find it blowing around the neighborhood if the bins were to be blown over.

Hubby any I just went out for a quick walk while
The rain took a break. Just beautiful out there. Happy New Years SCM friends.

Looks like Zeus is giving us a little break for a day. Happy New year everybody.
