The Yankee Peddler, Wrightwood, California.
For me, the Yankee Peddler isn’t just a cool little photogenic store in Wrightwood, but it is also owned and operated by my sister-in-law Brenda.
We spent Christmas with family in Wrightwood, where I think they had as much snow as we did in Alaska. It is interesting what happens when it snows in the mountains so close to a huge, snow-less city like Los Angeles – thousands of people flock there to play in the snow. The traffic was pretty crazy, but it looked like people with sleds and snowballs were having a lot of fun.

Now, that’s my kind of store! Great shot too!
Janine, I talked to your mother, (my sister) and she gave me your web site. If you are still are wondering who this is, it’s your uncle ray. I have been looking at the pics and they are great!! I like this picture because I got a newspaper clipping from Mary Ann but it did not do it justice. This one does. If you come to boring southern Indiana to take pictures of corn let me know. Ray
Really pretty. Reminds me of a town in N. Ga. mountains called Helen.
Thanks Beth – sounds like a place I should check out someday!
Thanks Sherri!
Hi Ray – I just let Janine know you posted a comment, so I’m sure she will respond soon. Great to hear from you! Ron
Yeah, look it up on the web. They are really having a good time in Helen during Octoberfest!
Pretty cool place to own a shop! Looks like you had a fun week Ron.
Very Cool! Not far from my house – I think I need to make a run up the hill and check it out.
Thanks Rick! It is worth a visit – but weekends have been really busy up there with snow-chasers!
Ron
