I wasn't sure what I wanted to do the day after Christmas, but when in doubt go hike up to Mount Ord!

This was my 15th time on the Mount Ord summit in 2022.

There was snow on a few places in the road -- mostly on FR 626 but also on FR 27.

There were a few deer hunters out. I saw a doe on FR 626A, around where the road forks down below the summit.

FR 27 claimed another victim; this time a Jeep Wrangler. The driver made 2.5 miles down the rough, rocky, and rutted road from the FR 626 junction all the way to Jaws, but then apparently got stuck trying to turn around.
