<\/td>\n	X<\/span><\/td>\n	\n It was an epic winter<\/p>\n \n The Sierra Nevada ski areas near Tahoe had record snow, record crowds and record traffic jams — good thing our leased cabin is south of the entrances to Squaw Valley USA and Alpine Meadows.<\/li>\n We both worked during Christmas week but hit 30 days after a trip to Mammoth Mountain, which stayed open through July 4th<\/li>\n [Photos in our\u00a02017 highlights album<\/a>]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\n	X<\/span><\/td>\n	\n Spring was especially gorgeous for hiking and backpacking<\/p>\n \n Flooding and erosion from winter storms didn’t impede us from hiking green local hillsides<\/li>\n Enjoyed a chilly campout at the Juniper Campground halfway up Mt Diablo [Juniper photo album<\/a>]<\/li>\n Spent three weekends backpacking in the Sierras, where spring wildflowers bloom well into summer<\/li>\n [Photos in our\u00a02017 highlights album<\/a>]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\n	X<\/span><\/td>\n	\n Family events superseded political ones<\/p>\n \n Attended grandson Dylan’s wedding over a fun-filled weekend<\/li>\n Went to Reseda for Uncle Fred’s 90 and joined Dan’s cousins at their favorite coastal RV site<\/li>\n [Photos in our\u00a02017 highlights album<\/a>]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\n	X<\/span><\/td>\n	\n A skate tour and cycling made a busy summer<\/p>\n \n Liz skated and Dan biked ~18 mile per day on the Zephyr Adventues 20th Reunion Ohio Skate Tour<\/li>\n Biking with Team Chevron, the distances got longer and the hills got steeper (and we got skinnier!)<\/li>\n We made good time biking the 60-mile Veterans Victory Velo (V3), a worthy fund raiser<\/li>\n Cycled up and down Mt. Diablo road, much safer this year due to cyclist and ranger collaboration<\/li>\n [Photos in our\u00a02017 highlights album<\/a>]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\n	X<\/span><\/td>\n	\n Thanksgiving weekend with Dad<\/p>\n \n Rather than cook, we dined outdoors at Cafe Roma in San Luis, where it was in the 80s<\/li>\n On Saturday we nearly got Dad’s 4X4 stuck in the sand at the Friends of Oceano Dunes tent. They provided a birthday cake and speeches to get folks interested in preserving off highway vehicle use there.<\/li>\n [Photos in our\u00a0Thanksgiving weekend album<\/a>]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
