New Years day came and the boys and I decided to head out to get some action in the snow. Mason has never really hada chance to play in the cold white stuff, and Kaden had little time before. I watched the news for a week hoping to find somewhere close and saw that the Oracle area had good amounts of snow. I was going to head up to the view areas of Mount Lemmon, but found the roads closed due to ice.

| A trail off the Mount Lemmon access road offered good snowball ammo. |
 |
| Kaden caps Mason with a nice one. |

| View up the trail towards the mountain. |
So after finding a nice spot for snowball chucking, we headed further up the road to find some open areas to find some deer out sunning. I drove up the road and pulled off the side a little bit to allow others comming up the mountain to get by. That was my second mistake, my first you may ask? Taking a 2 wheel drive to the snow along an icy, snow covered and muddy road. I was doing ok until I pulled off to get out, then slid into the ditch.

| Deer were here not to long ago, as well as a mountain lion tracks. |

| Mason was happy he had a warm hat to wear. |

| Question: What makes a man want to ride a bike in the cold? Can you say shrinkage?! |
