Barb Visits The West; Pictures Finally Provide Conclusive Proof!

Barb, a long way from Alabama.


Rock, tree, water, earth and sky.


Me at the north rim of the Tahoe Basin.


At last, Melissa's computer is back on line, and I can finally dowload the pictures of my Mom and I hiking up to the Tahoe Rim on the North Shore. As you can see, it was a spectacular day, and at over 7,000 feet, still quite cool. We hiked to the overlook pictured and then went on for an hour or so until I started to get blisters and wish I wasn't so devoted to wearing Tevas. And don't even get me started on trying to cross lingering snowfields in sandals. Anyway, it was great having Mom out here for a few days, particularly because I think she's the only one in my family who loves the mountains anywhere near as much as I do.
