Well, too much time has past since something has been published on this blog, so I thought I’d weigh in.
After an extremely busy Spring in Tahoe, when the Education Center where I work was slammed with end-of-the-year field trips, things have definitely slowed down. I feel that, with the snow melting, the wildflowers blooming, and the amount of time that I have been able to get off from work, I’m finally getting to do the things I dreamed about doing here in the Sierra Nevada.
It was sad to see Rob leave, and all of the friends he made while here have missed having him around. But we know he’s off to other adventures, so life is good. Luckily Rob and Atom and I were able to pull off some fun trips before Rob had to leave, including a bike ride around Lake Tahoe (~80 miles), a weekend bike trip down to Reno, where we mingled with the Reno biking/art scene, and a ski/snowboard run down Mt. Tallac, easily the most recognizable and visible mountain around the Lake. I’ve put up some photos from these and other trips below:
These trips were really important because they kicked off the Spring. They were our first defiance of fickle weather, and set the tone for “getting after it” even after Rob left.
Still, all this happened last April! So it’s hardly relevant to post. I will post a second part of Spring/Summer in Tahoe, that describes what I’ve been up to more recently.
