On Saturday, we headed up to Bear Valley with our friends Leland, Kara, Ren, Linsey & Koa. Koa is Ren & Linsey's awesome dog. He also happens to be one of approximately 500 pure-bred Chinooks in the US.

The Bay Area Siberian Husky Club had a dog sledding event at the Tamarack Lodge and we stopped by to check it out.

Here is Leland driving with Koa pulling on the left.

Big Sur

After ringing in the new year with friends in Capitola, CA, Gretchen and I headed down the coast to Big Sur, a beautiful stretch of coast between Monterey and Santa Barbara. California Highway 1 between Monterey and Big Sur has to be the most senic drive in the country. If you ever get the chance to drive it, do it!
