Weekend Getaway in the California Mountains

A January 2004 trip to Arnold by tbubbette

We started our weekend getaway by driving 2.5 hours to Arnold. Our reason for the weekend was to meet up with members of a Siberian Husky Dog Rescue Organization. This was to be our first SNOBASH weekend with lots of dog sledding, meeting new people, and tons of fun in the snow.
