62.21 Nevada, Reno: Beauty, tranquility, color, harmony, power and charm...something to witness in order to aid a re-balance...Hike-about 62.

  The photographs below are a handful, not covering the full hike, but published to satisfy our need of beauty, of some magnificence. 

After 3 or more miles, we reach a set of towers on a mountain where we ate brunch and digested the views. The combination of the snow-capped mountains of substance, the lake to our side, the clouds appearing to emulate the range in form and the position itself, plus the delightful spring coloring, combined to create a unique and uplifting sight and feeling.
We noticed, only later, the United States Flag on the side of the mountain. We read the following excerpt about it: 'The C(arson) Hill Flag measures 120 feet by 65 feet. Google-map "Carson City," and the flag shows up in satellite images. Its story has inspired U.S. troops serving in combat. It has spawned a business, a marriage and a baby. Sep 11, 2011.' 

The range is overpowering, the snow lies thick, we are in awe while the US flag, although flat, is nevertheless dignified.
Here's the water referred to above, in the earlier stages of the hike.
Jen commencing her climb above the lake and into the wilderness.
We suppose that might be wilderness as Jen prepares for and up-and-over.
We come over a mountain and discover the towers on a hill below.
Jen takes the opportunity to address the 'Village People' at a magnificent venue.
A time of reflection, a chance to challenge uncharted waters, an opportunity to take action.
Cheers, 

Jenni and Jeffrey 

PS These two drivers were so incensed by her words of kindness and of 'Do not do unto others...' that they lost control of both themselves and vehicles: 'Cry the Beloved Country' continues...(under editor's licence obviously).
