Well a word of warning if there is a LOT of snow in Julian. These photos were taken before Christmas. I had the great idea to take my boys and my friend up to the cabin to enjoy the snow. I had chains but had never really used them. Supposedly my friend was a snow expert bc she had lived in Ohio half her life.....
Well that was a long time ago bc I drove down the driveway and got stuck. There was at least 9 inches of snow on the ground and at some points 1 ft! We never get that much snow!!!! Where is that Global Warming everyone is talking about?
I spent the next day shoveling the road shown here....and it's a long private road! This is at the top of the hill that leads down to our driveway shown in the first photo. I still had another 30 ft to shovel. Not the way I wanted to spend my trip to Julian. Of course we missed going to town and taking a carriage ride, missed seeing the town decorated, missed the big Christmas tree.....
But my boys had fun! They spent the whole day snow disking down the hills on our property. It was great because we didn't need to go anywhere to have fun. And we have a lot of hills so there was plenty of empty sledding ground. We keep 2 snow discs in the garage for our guests. The downstairs room makes for a good mudroom when the fire place is on.
My boys look at these photos and ask when we are going back. My little one thinks the snow is still there. Although the trip didn't turn out as planned we still had a great time and will always have the memories!
