12/26-28/24 I went up to Camp Serendipity for 3 days: Thursday through Saturday.
There was snow in the pass and chains, or AWD were required. The road over the pass and to Camp Serendipity was nicely plowed. My driveway had not been plowed and there was about 8 inches of fresh wet snow on the ground. I was able in 4WD to drive in anyway and turn around and park at the foot of the stairs heading out. I arrived at 1:30 and it took me until 2:30 to shovel off the staircase and stomp out the trails to the front porch of the cabin. Then I brought my gear up, hoisted the flag and had my lunch at 3:00. After lunch, I had a short nap and then watered the two plants. Then finally, I had my dinner.
Back at the cabin, I found that Josh had plowed the driveway between the truck and the road. Then I had my lunch and a nap. When I got up, I went out and pruned the bushes that had accumulated a lot of snow and had bent over the handrail rope alongside the trail and made it unusable. After the bushes had been trimmed and removed, I tightened up the entire rope handrail from top to bottom. That made it usable. Back in the cabin, I filled and staged the water jugs and practiced the piano.
