Sledding at Highway 20 Rest Area
Part 1 of 2
December 29, 2006
Posted January 14, 2007
The day after opening presents, Dave and Nik were up a the crack of dawn to go snowboarding at Donner Ski Ranch, about a 45-minute drive from Lake Wildwood east on Highway 20 and north on Interstate 80. The next day they were joined by Courtney, Andy, Barbara, Maddie, and Dave's dog Yukon for another ride 25 minutes up Highway 20 to a rest area where they played in the snow. I'm again using Barbara's pictures, which don't follow consistently in chronological order with the numbers assigned by SmugMug. I've therefore had to put them into an order which jives with my experience sledding at the highway 20 rest area in February.
