I exchanged Photos with Patti Senter, she provided the photos and the journaling.
It Never Snows in Sunny California
Being a native of Washington state I had the impression that might be true. In the Spring of 2006 we had heard it was snowing up near a ****** we go to in Coarsegold called Chukchansi Gold Resort & ******. We hopped in the car and of course I had camera in hand. Now mind you we're living on the Valley floor in Fresno and it's only a 30 minute drive to the ******. It still amazes me how a grown woman can turn from adult to child in a matter of miles. The flakes started a few at a time and then the snow really came down and everything began to turn white, just like I was back in the Pacific NW again!
We made it to the ****** and spoke to some folks who had been there all night. Apparently it had gotten bad enough they had closed Hwy 41 the night before. The hotel filled up and they actually even ran out of hot water. People I guess had been sleeping in spots all around the ******. It was fun, I shot a lot of these photos out the car window since there wasn't a spot to pull over and snap. We ended up leaving after an hour or so because there was a threat of another storm and road closures. It's one thing to run up and see, it's a whole different situation to be stuck there!
