Some of us were intending to go snow camping, but so far this winter has been bad for that. The snow was extremely thin. So, we just kept waiting for the snow to pile up a bit. Finally, we had this weekend set to go. Arrangements had been made. Then just a few days before we were to leave, the weather forecast turned around. There is a winter storm predicted: wind, snow, and cold.

We could have continued, but it wouldn't have been fun. So, we bailed.

Why couldn't we have predicted this? Or, if this is what it takes to cause more snowfall in the mountains, maybe we should have started this earlier.

Come on Bob, where's your sense of adventure? I'm still going this weekend. It's only forecasted to snow a few inches in Yosemite this weekend.

We were planning on going closer to Tahoe, where the storm is predicted to hit.

Believe me, I've been in too many storms where you just had to put your head down and trudge through it. Or worse, there were storms that would just knock us over.

I think some of my sense of adventure was left at the hospital emergency room.

Have you looked into getting a prosthetic sense of adventure? I hear they can replace anything nowadays.
