CHAPTER NINE: The Tree of Life Winter came fast and furious that year. One morning we woke up to see about a foot and a half of new snow covering the furniture we had stored outside. It’s only early November I cried. But alas, as my luck would have it, I wasn’t prepared. It was a beautiful and a terrible sight for us. The beauty was overruled by the panic of being snowed in up there. The trail was just impassable by now. Luckily we did have a snowmobile so were not really desperate in that sense of the word but we really needed to get our car down so we could go into Bancroft for groceries. This snowfall soon melted enough to get the suburban down the hill. This time the two vehicles would stay below until the next April.

A snowmobile and a three-wheeler, as well as a four wheel ATV my brother in-law loaned us, became essentials for mountain living. We had a solar panel for charging the eight golf cart batteries that provided power.

The wood we purchased in October now lay at the bottom of the hill in front of the van. It was completely covered with snow and we had to dig down to find it. Didn’t I just have all the good fortune, I thought grumbling to myself. The snowmobile worked hard to pull a sleigh full of wood up the hill. Somehow we managed to be happy. We bought a couple of dogs to be company for Tundra. She was our part wolf and Husky mix. She looked just like a wolf.
