Quaint Quincy



We've made it to our next assignment! A few feet of snow welcomed us to our little mountain cabin, so we of course had to make a snowman. The town of Quincy, CA is a town of 5,000 with two stoplights, and the biggest news of last year was the oppening of a Subway sandwhich shop. It's a small village tucked into the mountains, and was founded as a gold town. We are conviently close to Lake Tahoe and Reno which we hope to visit on a future weekend. The vistas are gorgeous with snow capped peaks and dense forest, just what you would expect at 4,000 feet. On our wish list of things to do include hiking, hot springs, snowshoeing and kayaking in the spring on one of the many surrounding lakes. We'll be here for 3 months until moving north to the pacific northwest.
