The Rock
September 6-7, 2003




Leaving a busy Bay Area behind for the weekend...




...with a clean car...




...and music pumpin'.
[Sacramento]




brown hills are soon replaced by green mountains









After Ebbet's Pass, you'll see Lake Tahoe.




Their new house...almost ready.









There is a creek right behind the house, on public land.
























Makes a good wallpaper, eh?   1280x1024



















Next up, the horse trail to explore the nearest peaks.




swiss rock?




It's amazingly flat up here, with sand...almost like a beach.




Looks like a golf course to me.




'the lone pine'




And there it is...the rock I spotted from the house.




Not quite that easy to get up there...there is a log...




Mmmm...that might work.




Heh, that guy is just waiting for a push :-)




overlooking the village




this shaft was not a viable way down




Well, I guess I can just slide back down. Where's the sled?




found some real wood chips, inside an old tree
1280x1024




Looking forward to winter weekends up here!
Sierra at Tahoe right around the corner.




A condo in Tahoe Keys will do until the house is finished.




Lukas out exploring the neighborhood




pick-a-boo!




the view




Chuck's preparing som *excellent* Black Angus beef




catchin' up on the gossip




dinner time!




Neat little trick with some old wheels...I'll keep that in mind...!




next morning




a walk in the park




-Look, mom!!














Gosh, these things are big...




a bird's view of things




Ah, well. Time to leave.
View along the way back west.
