Do you know the street value of this mountain?

If you don't know where the title of this entry came from then stop reading this, immediately go and get yourself a copy of "Better off Dead" with John Cusack and watch it! Then you may come back and continue reading this entry. If you don't see the movie, I'm sure you'll understand what I'm talking about, but you won't know the joke behind it . . . so it will be your loss. Oh well, I digress . . .

One thing we don't see a whole of down here in sunny CA is snow. But this year we got some! It was the first time in about 3 or 4 years that we actually got a decent snow pack. It was a chilly February afternoon. We went to church and as we were leaving, it started to rain. Most people take this as a sign to go home and bundle up and get out of the bad weather. But us crazy Zay's and our need to be doing things, left us headed up to Oak Glen to see what the snow would be like. Larry is not a fan of driving to Idywild in the snow (considering we don't own chains) but figured the elevation of Oak Glen would be high enough to get snow, but low enough to not require chains. This is what I would also call a win win. Oak Glen had the BEST caramel apples. So after a stop at the candy store "downtown" we went up to Los Rios to play in the snow. The thing we found out though when we got there is they do not allow sledding. It's all private property and they don't want the liability. A little disappointed, we put our Chevy sled back into our Chevy truck and headed off on foot to a large field with lots of snow and hardly any people! We played for about a half hour before Cameron's words couldn't be understood through the chattering of teeth. When we got home we took HOT showers, moved our mattress into the living room, watched a movie together and then enjoyed the slow cooked ribs we had put in the crock pot before we left. It was a perfect Sunday!
