Usually Thanksgiving interferes with our anniversary, but this year with Thanksgiving being later, we actually celebrated on the day before and the day of. Friday after work we went to a really good movie. Then we had a gift card for a great dinner. Then we came home and watched another movie! Saturday morning we went to the temple. After lunch we headed for Pine Valley. We had wanted to go on a hike up by Zion, but we were afraid it would just be rain and mud. Pine Valley ended up being amazing, beautiful and we had it pretty much to ourselves. The snow was about 6-8 inches deep in the valley and then up the canyon and by the lake it was much deeper - some places looked like about 12-14 inches deep. It was snowing just a bit the whole time we were there. A guy that had been fishing broke trail to the lake, but after that we had to do it ourselves. We wished we had brought our CC skis. On the way home we stopped in at Veyo Pies and got some of their great cookies to have with hot chocolate when we got home. We had a great time celebrating a great 39 years!
The lake was just getting a little ice crust on it. If you threw a snowball at it, it would break through.
It looks like next year they will be putting this bridge across the spillway coming out of the lake. The footings are in, but for now, the bridge is just sitting at the side of the spillway.
The snow was piled up so deep on rocks and stumps that we could just poke holes in it with our walking sticks to make snowmen. I got pretty hot, so I had to eat some of it. Very refreshing!
