Re: On the Back of Old Blue- Pt. 1, To the Desert (4.00 / 3)

Great pics of the Sierra & Lake Tahoe. Reminds me of when I went skiing at Heavenly, about 10 years ago; we were staying at a nice chalet in a forested area on the CA side, blissfully ignoring the high rise buildings and the flooding lights of the NV side... (who gives a f--- about gambling when you have the ski slopes with a gorgeous view on the lake?)

BTW, where was the first pic taken? Are these redwood trees in the background?

Europeans think a hundred miles is a long way. Americans think a hundred years is a long time.

1st pic was just heading out my driveway, Nita handed off the camera on the fly. Big firs, though there are redwoods nearby, none in the picture.

Backyard is in the hills above Calistoga 60 or so miles N of San Francisco.
