ZERO TOPAZ

I was surprised to see how much of the 395 was shut down.
Yeah, the problem was that we were getting a stupid amount of rain before it turned into really wet, heavy snow. That all turned to ice and made large sections of the 395 impossible to drive. We would have come out to the ranch sooner but couldn't because of the closures.
 
Just catching up on this incredible dream project.
First , congratulations to you and Cindy.
Second, you guys really dig in with passion and perseverance when you commit and the progress in a few months is incredible.
finally, like so much of what you guys give us, is sharing the experience so we can enjoy as well , at least virtually.
Well done and Thank you

Thanks! It's been a labor of love but a ton of fun.
 
Haven't been out to the ranch since the big snow storm after New Year and so we decided to check things out today. The drive out across Carson Valley was gorgeous.

Unfortunately, being that we're not living at the ranch, the local snow plow guy figured it'd be okay to pile up all the snow in front of our gate.

Needless to say, I had dig out just to get in. Fortunately, I had a feeling this might happen and so I came prepared.

After a lot of work, we finally got in.

Fortunately, we made sure to bring a Jeep with a lot of clearance. Even though it's been melting, the snow was still pretty deep and the drifts even deeper.

Taking it slow, we were able to creep our way out to the stable and arena.

Fortunately, everything was still standing.

Of course, Ripley was having a BLAST!

Took a lot of work to posthole our way around in knee deep snow but we just had to see how things were holding up.

Aside from all the manual labor though, that landscape is GORGEOUS when covered in the white stuff. Shoot, I'd buy a snowmobile to get around the ranch during the winter lol. Still so cool you guys can call this place your own 👍
