Here goes, On tuesday my Budy tells me, hey lets to to the snow at Laguna Hanson, it sound it like a good idea, I made plans got my snow gear ready.We left Saturday morning at 4:30 am and got to La Rumorosa at 6:00am,temperature was at 26, around 7:45 we arrive at the top, and to my surprise there where not a little small amount of snow, only frozzen water.Temperature was at 22* with a sunny day, we made breakfast, that consisted in hot soup and tacos dorados(deepfry tacos),and some carne asada,we down it with a bottle of Bacardi gold.We pack our stuff and we whent exploring, back to the ranch that has the rock art,the owneer Pilar told us we where welcome any time we want, even if his not there.from the Laguna to his ranch ism about 8 miles and then another 3 or 4 miles of nnew road that he open lately.This road will put us just south west of Palomar Canyon.

Casualties- one broken step on my truck, I hit a big rock hard, I guess the rock was harder than my aluminun step.


The laguna is about half way full


Water under my hood is frozzen

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, aFTHER the trip I wash my truck and I can hear a little noise under the hood, no big deal right,a few days later that noise grew to be pretty loud,so under the hood for a second look,sure enough i found the noise.Some how the drive belt tentioner lost some of its bearings, maybe beacuse of the mud or water I dont know!,know I have to go and speend money tomorrow to replace it. Baja won this time..lol
