We were headed to Observation Peak and Dutchman Peak when we encountered this on Road 20 at 6900'. Drat! Also, everything else we wanted to do this weekend was behind that snowdrift.
I took a couple of shots as an attempt to illustrate the snow drifts I was contending with in the cemetery. Some were relatively low, others not so much. I was able to walk on top of some, and others I sank right in...sometimes to my knees, sometimes to my waist. It was an adventure. I think my next attempt will be in the summer.
It was a bit of a fight getting over this one too. Fairly typical of the way the snow had drifted into the corners of the fields. Most of the stiles were in the fields corners.
Our van is in the barn on the left side... took David a while to shovel it out once the wind calmed down
The snow is maybe 3 feet deep at the window, closer to 5 feet in some places in the yard. By the end of the storm, the patio furniture had disappeared under the snow, there was a 4 foot drift at the back door and a 3 foot drift at the front door. Good thing I didn't need to be anywhere :)
Finding time for self,
To explore the path at hand.
What is lurking there?
Light among shadows!
Through the darkness comes oneself,
Strong yet delicate.
Embrace the contrast.
Direct your attention now,
Guide oneself to light.
The snowdrift was about 1.5m here and just about 25cms gap to get between the drystone wall and the wall of snow.
