Today was a different kind of Christmas for us. As I mentioned in an earlier post, we really did Christmas earlier this month. Christina is away having her own adventure right now, so Mom, Dad, and I did some low-key things. In the afternoon we took a little drive into the Gorge and up Wind River Road. As we drove, the snow increased, until we were inside the National Forest and it really was a winter wonderland!
We came to a dead end at Government Mineral Springs, where we found a plow truck working to keep the road clear.
We got out to look around a little bit. Once the plow truck was gone, it was almost entirely silent. You know that stillness that sets in after a good snow? I hadn't experienced that in a long time. Total quiet...peace.
We didn't stay long (we weren't really prepared to!). On our way home, the snow was beginning to fall thickly.

Merry Christmas!
