We didn't have to chain up the truck to get to the driveway and the first 300' is downhill to the creek. One can ALWAYS go downhill in the snow, and I was lazy and stopped at the creek.
At this point I fired up the corn binder and cleared the upper loops in order to drive to the house without chains.
With the truck at the house and the heaters on, I can continue to clean and groom the driveway.

With only about a foot on the ground, this only takes about 45 minutes while the heaters are beginning to warm the cabin.
Now ready for a relaxing week in the mountains.
I'm chomping at the bit cleaning the fishing gear, the ice will melt in 30-45 days and the trout are waiting......
