Glad to report, we encountered no problems leaving the cabin yesterday. The roads were cleared and well sanded or salted. Sky was clear and the ride home from Boone was without incident.
We passed by alot of downed trees and could see that there were still many homes without power. We are so glad we had the presence of mind to choose a cabin with underground utilities. Our incentive was an unobstructed view of the gorgeous mountains, but the added benefit of avoiding power outages is certainly high on our list of why we love our cabin.
We left with heavy hearts, because we know that the first quarter of 2010 will be too busy for us to get back to Boone.
