That is so cool. Probably a tad scary alone.

It was scary knowing that we wouldn't be rescued if we got stuck... Just made us be extra careful. It would be really nice if we had two cats for times like this... Dyer mnt is by Lake Almanor...

I don't think a snowmobile would have made it, tons of powder and the road was so drifted you wouldn't have been able to follow it... We couldn't even walk in the snow it was so deep.

Here are some pictures...

Jim:

Great vids! Back in the mid-80's, we used to have a cabin on the Ham Branch just below the bridge. Would blast up the road to Dyer on the old IT465 Yammie many times, but never saw anything like this.

Thanks so much.

Just north of willows. I did see another southbound cat on a flatbed or trialer or flatbed (cant remember exactly). the one that was rolled over was light blue. It looked older, but who knows, it was thrashed pretty bad. looked like a tucker.
the highway was closed (both directions) for quite a while. Maybe they had a crane in there to pull it out. We drove by at the tail end of the operation.
we will have to connect again one of these days.
I am up with the family til mon pm.

the other south bound cat was the one I was worried about, just like the one we have (tucker orange), glad it wasn't them. Our cat is going out again today up by downieville. I have a feeling its gonna get a work out this week...

Jim, If you want daylight all night long, get some PIA 520 series. Amazing.
