Anderson Valley

On Sunday we were picked up by Daniel...

Mendocino & Ft Bragg

So for New Years we went over the hill again, but this time we drove an extra 3 hours to the
Mendocino coast.  It was very rainy and misty when we arrived.

Hunting with my camera...

This morning I got up at the practically unbearable hour of 6:00am, showered, and headed north to
pick up Shawn and do some deer scouting and 4 wheeling in the snow.  I was groggy until I got a green

We spent about 4 hours driving and hiking in the snow.  As much as I hate getting up that early, it was
well worth it, being in the winter mountains during sunrise with the Nikon....

The snow was very dry and deep in many places, and covered with deer tracks and other small mammal
prints.
