WELCOME to The High Country of Tuolumne County

It is such a pleasure to welcome you to my blog!

Hope that you enjoy the smell of fresh air, the songs of the birds - even if they are woodpeckers putting holes in your cabin walls! Let me know how you like this "new enterprise" of mine!

ONE MORE RIVER TO CROSS!

Having driven through 16 states - 7037 miles in a month - I can attest to the fact that the MOST POLITE drivers on the Interstates are in the states of TN and VA!  Not once did I notice a vehicle entering the traffice without someone making a SPACE for them!  Big rig drivers in all states drive like that, but not all vehicle drivers. We have a BEAUTIFUL and varied country; but there is NO PLACE like HOME!  Coming over Carson Pass on a snowy Sunday afternoon, we felt like SINGING!!

We need more of that beautiful white fluffy stuff called SNOW in Strawberry, but winter is not over yet.  The ski area - Dodge Ridge - still has plenty and the grooming crew does such a good job of spreading it around!  The instructors are famous for their skill in all the various age groups. 

Leland High Sierra Snow Play has that "magic" tow to get you back to the top of their beautifully groomed runs for the tubes.  It is SUCH FUN to go whizzing down the hill; go in for a warm cup of coffee or hot chocolate.  It sure beats "suicide hill" along the side of the road where you take your life in your hands just getting out of your car as the traffic goes whizzing by.  AND don't even think about parking in the "NO PARKING" areas at Little Sweden - the State can use the money from the ticket that you will get, but it seems a good way to ruin a trip to the mountains!
