December has arrived in full force, showing us that Mother Nature was only kidding us with that unseasonably warm November. We have our first snow on the ground, and temperatures have been in the teens the past few nights. The Little North Fork has frozen in many spots, meaning that the smaller Flume Creek (our water and power source) is frozen for sure. Adam and Joe were wise - and drained camp ahead of time and removed the flume from the water. Jawbone is currently without running water and regular power. We are running the propane generator in the morning and evenings to keep computers and radios charged. It warmed up today and is snowing nicely outside. We are expecting over a foot of snow between tonight and tomorrow - winter is here and once again is beautiful in Jawbone.
Here's a few shots. Hope you are all well and that our paths cross soon!

Murphy is pretty happy about his new coat.

Love and miss you all!
