The day after Christmas we all went out to Big Bear for a White Christmas. Our general 50 minute to an hour drive took us 2 hours!! Not only because there were a million people making their way up the mountain, but because we had to put chains on our tires to drive up (the chains isn't what took long). You can only drive about 30 miles per hour with chains on. It's so fast to put the chains on...so fast that we stopped and asked ourselves did we do it right? (We knew we had, but it's that fast with cables). There were sooooo many people/cars pulled off to the side of the road putting their chains on and asking us for help, or if they should be putting the chains on the front or back of their tires. We even saw a car that was a 4X4 with chains on all four tires!!! These are the people you see skidding off the road and getting into accidents. The ones who don't know what their doing! LOL!!!! It was an experience that's for sure!
We knew it had snowed a lot but we really didn't imagine what we were about to see. The snow was about 4 feet high. I can only imagine what it would have been like if the neighbors didn't plow the snow in front of the cabin. Even with their help, my sister Isabel had to shovel the snow and make a path leading to the door. We had a great time. We went to dinner with the family. Watched movies and ate a lot. Our brother-in-law Danny tried snowboarding for the first time! He did such a great job!
Snow chains...cables...so easy to put on.
