Snow Day




Gave our Jeep a little Christmas cheer
Couldn't find cold weather boots for Grant so we opted for water proof on an impromptu trip to the snow. He wouldn't wear his boots.


Beautiful Big Bear Lake

Grants 1st time seeing snow waiting for the group



He's wearing pajama pants under his pants, his feet stayed dry and it was beautiful weather.

jumping from rock to rock

On our way up the trail. This group was mostly Hummer's, 2 JK Jeeps and a Truck

We wedge the puppy dog behind him as a pillow and to keep his head and neck stable
5 minutes into the trip and Grant fell asleep. Last time we went he didn't sleep at all, not even on the way home on the freeway

Another Jeep group making way for us




The beginning of The Gate Keeper Trail. We didn't do this one, we would need a lift on the jeep and rock sliders.  It took him a good 20 minutes to navigate just the opening of this trail. 

Cooling off our room temperature water

Someone made a snowman while waiting for Serge to get through the Gate Keeper



He likes the neck pillow, its bumpier in the backseat.


Rock Garden


I jumped out of the jeep at this point. Too scared to take the icy inclines that are shown in the video with Dave sliding all about.  I walked up the hill.


Then we had to turn all the rigs around on a narrow incline because once we got past the icy section turns out it was even worse up ahead. As we waited all I could think is its getting darker and icier and then I looked down at the radio . I wanted to cry.


Coincidence that Highway to Hell was playing, I think not. . 




Adding air to the tires to go home, yeah!
