You just can't trust Mother Nature! Last year and the year before were fantastic snow years; Dodge Ridge and the Snow Play Area were able to open for Thanksgiving Weekend and Halloween Weekend respectively!! This year - no snow until the end of January and just barely enough to open the two snow attractions that our guests come to use!! We are hoping AGAIN that the storm due this weekend will "open the storm door" and allow some moisture to come our way...it gets very boring having no one around to play in the snow!!
Of course last year we ran out of places to PUT THE SNOW, and this year it is SPRING already. The flowering quince in my garden in Sonora is blooming and the roses have had their Spring Trim. I got one TOO - no sense in keeping the hair long when you don't need it for warmth. The swimming pool still has snow in it, but with 50 degree days it won't be there for long...
The local water watchers are starting to get furrows in their brows, worrying about the summer following the winter that wasn't!! Meanwhile, we are all trying to keep upbeat attitudes amidst low occupancy numbers!!
We see work starting on the next section of the "SONORA BYPASS" east of the Standard Road light. So if you are coming this summer, you can take Tuolumne Road to the Black Oak Casino and avoid the work area - it is a bit of a "dog leg" through Tuolumne but Tuolumne Road NORTH intersects with 108 at Twain Harte and you are less than a half hour from US in beautiful, uncrowded (even in summer) Strawberry!! The Mi-Wuk Indians at the Casino can even use a contribution this year!
