I'm never sure what order the pictures are going to appear on the blog page. I wanted to show the snow we see in the mountains from our camp. If you click on the picture with the RV's in it you will see the snow in the mountains in the background about 40 miles away. We drove a little ways out into the desert to get a closer look at the snow. Its very pretty "from a distance". We went from 60 degrees on Christmas Day to barely 40 degrees on the 27th.
I also included a picture of the boat launch we use at the state park. It is huge with 10 lanes -- so 10 boats can be launching at the same time. The marina -- floating behind the boat ramp -- has gas for sale and has dockage for over 100 boats of all sizes. There are some huge houseboats there (that we've never seen move) as well as 30 and 40 foot pleasure cruising boats that cost over $200,000. This lake isn't that big anymore since its about 60 feet lower than it has been in the past. I would hate to see this place in the summer with all these huge boats trying to cruise around. It must be as bad as Lake Minnetonka -- and we've also heard that they camp 3 or 4 RV's deep around the shoreline.
We had a very nice Christmas dinner at our RV park. Turkey and ham provided by the park and everyone else contributing the rest of the fixings. It was all delicious. Everyone here appreciates having a get together to make up for being so far from home over the holidays.
