Red Lake Peak.
You should not be able to walk up to 10000' in tennis shoes in January. We need some snow or it is going to be a hot and smokey summer.

South Lake Tahoe Christmas
Should have taken more pictures...sledding, skiing, and three feet of fresh snow from the first big storm of the season. Plus good times with the Orr gang.

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.
Truck shot (ten years and running).

Conferences Suck.
I was invited to a conference at the Stanford Sierra Camp on Fallen Leaf Lake near Lake Tahoe this weekend. After a day of workshops and serious schmoozing, I decided I'd had enough. So, I woke up early on Saturday and escaped the whole scene. While the conferees spent their Saturday morning sitting in a stuffy room and staring at powerpoints and pretty pictures of nature, I went for a walk.
A view of Mt. Tallac from Fallen Leaf Lake Rd. The mountain overlooks all of the Lake Tahoe Basin. It can be one of the most crowded peaks in the Sierra, but because of the fact that October is the off-season and that I got started at 5:00 a.m., I had the mountain entirely to my self. There wasn't another car in the parkinglot and I didn't see another person until near the bottom.
A map of my route. 11 mile loop. 5 hours.
Calling my name. Pyramid Peak before sunrise.
Gilmore Lake.
From the summit.
Emerald Bay, Cascade Lake, Lake Tahoe.
The site of the conference. Fallen Leaf Lake. Lake Tahoe behind.
Fall Color. Fall Color. Fall Color.
Bye-bye.
