Clovis, a way of life


We thought we would produce some pictures of our backyard before we left. Clear days are few and far between here in the valley. We can maybe see the mountains once a week, but when we can, what a sight! The snow caps shine brightly in the sun. The mountains are a couple of hundred miles away and rise to an altitude of roughly 8000, with peaks upwards of 12,000 feet. We've enjoyed our time here, but we are eagerly awaiting our next chapter which should hopefully land us somewhere in the Sierra Nevada's. They tried to get us to stay longer, but the need to explore is too great. The threat of summer temperatures in the triple digits is enough to get us out! So we're moving next to a place where the 10 day forecast includes a few inches of snow. I guess we aren't sending our winter coats to storage just yet! Clovis is a cute and friendly town. When the fog and smog rolls in, you can't see the mountains and we might as well be anywhere else in the country. We also don't like having to watch the news to see whether we can burn wood or not.
