If it's Tuesday, it must be Tahoe...

This is the backyard of the ranch.

We each took a turn on the horse -- the animal chosen for this duty was a horse named SnowCap. Here's Laura...

Alex...

Sharon...

Yours Truly... (in case you can't tell, I'm much more comfortable on the steel variety of horse)

The King isn't dead, he's visiting a small horse ranch in north-western Nevada...

Bob and Rosa decided to show us around, so we went up to Reno (and picked up our train tickets home), then went across to California, down to Tahoe (with a short side trip to Squaw Valley) then looped back to Carson city. They're extending the freeway through the mountains from Carson City to Reno -- it's taking a while...

This, of course, is Lake Tahoe...

Another nice view of the lake (that black spot at the top is the sun -- oh the wonderful oddities of digital cameras).
