365: Foggy Farewell

Our old friend dense fog wishes us a fond farewell on our voyage to Indiana. This will soon be replaced by wind chill and snow. Le sigh.

365: Fog

We noticed last week that the fog is getting thicker and denser as we roll into winter here in Northern California. Chico sits in the valley between two giant mountain ranges. We're also upwind from San Francisco and Sacramento so anything that rolls in from the bay rolls into our valley and sits. Chico is very clean & green but unfortunately we suffer from the bigger city's pollution during the summer as it rolls on up. Looks like we get their fog too. The weirdest part is that it hovers over Chico and we live just far enough up the mountain to not get much of it at all. The past two days it has been blazingly sunny when we leave our house and as soon as we start our descent into Chico it's like we're flying through a ton of clouds. It usually clears up midday but returns for the drive home. I don't mind fog, and I surely love it more than snow, so if this is what winter is like around here, I'll take it!

(Thanks for snapping the picture while I drove babe!)

365: Beautiful View

We spent several hours in Chico today at the Harvest Feast sponsored by Stonewall Alliance Chico (Ange's work). We caught the sunset as we were coming home and some pretty valley fog to boot! How can you not love coming home to this?!?!

365: Valley Fog

California in general has some of the most amazing fog you will ever see. Camp Awesome sits below the fog line generally and we have to drive through it to get to the top of the canyon and then we drive through it again before we get to Chico. Right now it's a little dreary, but when Indiana is under 12 feet of snow and ice we'll be giggling all the way through our fog filled mornings.
