Winter photos Inskip, Butte County, CA Jan. 31, 2010

The upper territory of The Skyway in Butte County, CA, 15 miles from our house at about the 4,800-foot level in the northern Sierra Nevada, boasted plenty of beautiful snow on Sunday morning, Jan. 31, 2010. This gallery of images was mostly taken at Inskip a largely uninhabited stop on the road with a hotel as one of its only structures. While at this moment we are snow-free at our house in Magalia, 15 miles to the west, Inskip had about five feet of snow, with three months of winter weather yet to come.
