Logan Shoals view of Lake Tahoe |
Super Tom looks down upon us mere mortals |
So, we mostly went up to Reno to visit with my Nana who has esophageal cancer.
She is doing very well, considering.
We also took a day to drive up to Lake Tahoe where we got married at Logan Shoals Vista Point.
It was a beautiful fall day.
The Vista Point has had some improvements since we were there 7 years ago.
It also, however, sees the occasional crack-pipe. To be fair, the crack smoker had hidden in in the crack (heh) between some rocks and I knocked it out with my cane because I wanted to see what it was.
I love Lake Tahoe. If we could live there it would be awesome. The air smelled wonderful. It was quiet. Ahhhh.
Reno is still very nice too, I think.
To mark the occasion, I bought my very first fancy-pants yarn from a yarn store. Some Noro in colors that sort of reminded me of the lake and surroundings. I have vague plans of a shawl for me.
We also went to one of the streams and caught salmon spawning season, which neither of us had ever seen. It was pretty amazing. And I spent entirely too much time trying and failing to get photos of feathery duck booties when they dived for food.
This is a weasel, not a ferret or even an otter but I took a photo anyway. |
Ducks! And dying salmon. |
Salmon dying after spawning. I thought of Chip, who by now had probably forgotten that highlight of his campus tour |
More ducks! |
The stream the salmon were swimming up. |
We went and had a picnic on the beach and we took a photo of that random tug-boat on wheels thingie. |

Wow, it's beautiful. I love seeing stuff like this.
I was absolutely gobsmacked one year to have salmon show up in the teensy creek that runs through a culvert under our driveway. Eh? It's a tiny little stream that starts out as icy-cold springs just upstream from the driveway, so wha... how...amazing.
