Snowed in on the Davidson River
Last week we experienced some unusual December snow fall with snow totals reaching over a foot and a half in just 2 days. In those 2 days there were power outages, road closers, and cases of extreme cabin fever. Once the roads were manageable a buddy and I headed over to the Davidson River for a trout junkie fix.
