2016 Christmas Tree cutting with the family. This is the kind of family events we partake in when the lakes are turning to ice and the boat is in the garage. This location is in California at the very southern end of the Cascade Mountain range just north of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The photos are at an altitude of 6800 ft.. The weekend prior to Thanksgiving 2.5 to 3 ft. of snow dumped and co-workers were unable to reach this location. Seven day after the storm I found my co-workers at the summit with chains on all four wheels. The snow had settled to 14+ inches. The Tundra with 35in. tires had more ground clearance then the two 3/4 tons and with chains on the rear axle we were able to advance another 1/4 mile up another section of mountain to the location in the pictures.

Brings back some great memories with our family going out in the woods for our Christmas tree. As the kids got older, the excitement dwindled and I started to hear something along the line of "dad, just go out and buy a tree this year!"  Also the memories of the days back when I lived in Montana having to chain up all 4 to get into and out of my house!! Plowing didn't work for very long since I lived in a canyon where the wind would drift the snow over in very little time. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Great traditions, great fun, great memories. That being said, ask me how much I miss the snow. ------------- _____________ “So, how was your weekend?” “Well, let me see…sun burn, stiff neck, screwed up back, assorted aches and pains….yup, my weekend was great, thanks for asking.” |

It was a good day. My son was able to sled in the packed tire tracks back down the mountain for a 4 mile sled ride. He thought it was great. I am sure in a year or two I will have to let my son take over the challenge of driving us up the mountain in the snow. I will make sure I have a good shovel and tow chains for that adventure.  ------------- JD ski, slicing, dicing, and shredding since 1981 1999 Air Nautique, GT40 Pro Boss, Trail Rite trailer 1975 Century Resorter |

WOW, makes me feel kind of bad from complaining about breaking out the three year old fake three piece pre-lite tree. I had that sucker together in five minutes and my wife and daughters spent the afternoon putting the decorations on it. Great family you have !!!!!!!!! ------------- 1980 Ski Nautique SOLD Back to Cypress Gardens 2002 Sport Nautique, GT-40, FCT2, Cover Sports, Tower Bimini, Inc., Wet Sounds Audio System, Star Gazer Wake Edition S. 1968 Ski Nautique, Project. |

The Daniels are a little bolder than we were, heading up into the mountains to get their tree (not entirely unlike the Griswalds . We have enjoyed the tree hunting/cutting experience, but a little more timid version at the local tree farm. I am going to guess this is about 1992. Great memories. ------------- _____________ “So, how was your weekend?” “Well, let me see…sun burn, stiff neck, screwed up back, assorted aches and pains….yup, my weekend was great, thanks for asking.” |

 HD has better trees!  I always liked the trees we got out in the woods since they aren't pruned so there's more hanging room for ornaments. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Experiences! It is what life is all about. If you are no creating life experiences or living them, better check your pulse. ------------- JD ski, slicing, dicing, and shredding since 1981 1999 Air Nautique, GT40 Pro Boss, Trail Rite trailer 1975 Century Resorter |

There are definitely times I wish I was not in the snow/ice. I would love to live my summers in Juneau Alaska and surrounding areas and winter in Maui Hawaii. ------------- JD ski, slicing, dicing, and shredding since 1981 1999 Air Nautique, GT40 Pro Boss, Trail Rite trailer 1975 Century Resorter |

Creating memories and remembering tradition, that is what it is all about. That is why you took that great picture. ------------- JD ski, slicing, dicing, and shredding since 1981 1999 Air Nautique, GT40 Pro Boss, Trail Rite trailer 1975 Century Resorter |
