A very merry Christmas to all of you from the Quilici cabin, which is located near Davis Lake, Calif.
The cabin is on a gravel road that the county does not plow in the wintertime, so when it snows, we have to snowshoe to reach it. It is our favorite location for spending Christmas every year.
The solitude, winter mountain scenery, companionship, holiday cheer, food and drinks are unbeatable at this special time of the year.
Attached are some photos from previous Christmas years at our cabin.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOURS!
