View from Aunt Diana's house.
Ridgecrest, my hometown, is in the desert and is surrounded by beautiful mountains. Snow falls every couple of years here and it is always an exciting time. While we were visiting for Thanksgiving, snow fell on the Sierras right outside of Ridgecrest and Inyokern in an area called Walker's Pass. Walker's Pass is on the way to Lake Isabella and it is one way to get toBakersfield from Ridgecrest. The snowy mountain views were fabulous and I talked Rob into driving us up to see the snow. He had been complaining about our 80 degree Thanksgiving so this was a great opportunity for him to be in some "weather". We made the short drive and found the snow was melting fast...but the sky was getting very dark again. We climbed around on the snow and took some pictures and then decided we were cold enough to leave. Just as we began to drive away, small flakes began to fall. We stopped to see if it would turn into anything and sure enough a stronger flurry began. The girls had never been in falling snow before! They were very excited. It was a quick little trip that ended up super fun!
I have included a video...WARNING...turn sound down before you watch the video...the radio distorts and makes a horrible sound!
