Reno: Perspective of an earlier Cover Picture: The mountains behind Washoe Lake, opposite the Carson Range.
Reno, Nevada, opposite the Carson Range. Jen, climbing a treacherous area (bottom right), is about to be rewarded with a pleasant surprise. (See below). The reward, as we view snow-capped mountains, the land below and for the first time, Lake Washoe from a new position. Usually, one is not high enough to see over the front mountains. Jenni's effort up the extremely steep and somewhat treacherous slope provides a bonus (see bottom of picture). Height is a great provider of perspective...plus cooler air, inter alia. We passed a colorful quarry (see below) and discovered much volcanic rock, too. Cheers, Jenni and Jeffrey For much of this Hike-about segment, Jen has felt a need to travel with her pets. Go Figure!
