R.I.P. 1997 Ford Ranger

Ten years. Ten states. Two Countries. 171741 total miles. After driving and living in The Truck for most of my driving life, it is now the property of some guy named Martin.

That thing has taken me everywhere. (I wish I knew how many of those 171741 miles were dirt road miles. Or how many nights I've slept either in that truck or right next to it.) Other than Dora it is the one thing that most people I know or have known associate with me. Hate to be sentimental about a car, but hey, it isn't a car, it is a truck, and it was a good one.

By the way, 171741 total miles equals out to about 47 miles a day for the past ten years. Put that in your carbon footprint calculators. Wow.

Spring Ski Weekend

Donner Lake from the Old Donner Pass Road.



Ferrari's Crown Resort. I love this place. Not only do they call this motel a "resort", but they throw "Ferrari's" in there for good measure. This is no Ritz. But this is luxury enough--cheap rooms, private beach, a large deck overlooking the lake, and two (one indoor, one out) toasty hot tubs. Oh yeah.





The infinity pool.



A cool overlook we found. Could have spent the whole day up there.



I like this picture even though it sucks. Those clouds were really moving.

Love this place.

Is Sacramento like this?
