A short drive to Mount Pinos

We made a short drive from our cabin to check out Mt. Pinos Nordic Base at noon, elevation 8,300ft. There's a  2 mile trail from Nordic Base to the peak of Mt. Pinos, elevation 8,800ft. When the weather gets a little warmer, we will find a weekend and hike up to the peak with the girls.

Some updates on our cabin: The minor skylight water leak has been repaired by Eugene the handyman, he has also adjusted and leveled the staircase for us, $150 well spent. Our cozy living room is finally  furnished, Erica loves to spend her time at the leather chair with ottoman reading her books or playing her ipad. The girls helped me and replaced both side door and back door dead bolts and locks. Next weekend I will be installing a lamp over the dining table which requires some custom built parts and wiring, hope it will turn out nice. I have filled up the wood pellet fireplace with wood pellets, still have 2 bags of 40 pounder in the basement, the 250 gallon propane is still about 58% full. We still have 3-4 months before the weather gets warmer, we will stock up more wood pellets and refill the propane tank when it gets down to about 20-25%. We have picked up a nice patio set at the local garage sale, two more trips, we will have the entire set moved there. When the weather gets warmer, we will also move the BBQ grill there. We still need to buy a set of lawn chair and a side table or maybe a swing or something for the front deck. Our cabin is now well stocked and very comfortable. It has become our 2nd home for the weekends!
