Christmas Tree

We started a new tradition last year of cutting our own Christmas tree.  Last year we cut our tree in jackets and there were only pockets of snow.  This year the Whitakers came with us, which would have made it worth it even if we didn't find a tree.  We tried to make it up to where we cut one last year, but it was too snowy, I think only a snowmobile could have gotten through.  We went up and around to another spot.  I kept seeing good trees all the way up the mountain, but they were on private land.  It seemed like as soon as we got to the Forest Service sign the snow got a lot deeper.  We couldn't get very far in, and we even had to back down the mountain, so we stopped in the first place we saw a decent tree.  Actually our tree looks great from the front, it just has no branches in the back.  You can't see the back anyway, right?
