I found myself on what turned out to be "the hottest day ever" in Reno... having to drive up to Tahoe and pay some bills. It wouldn't have been so bad if my air conditioner worked... ... (read more)
Lake Tahoe Fire5 July 2002
I happened to have to go up to Lake Tahoe today, and as I rounded a bend on Highway 50 I spotted a rather large plume of smoke billowing up from the direction of the casinos... as I rounded the next bend I saw cars pulling off the highway to gawk at the fire roaring up the mountain from the woods just behind Caesars Tahoe and Harrah’s Tahoe. ...

Lake Tahoe Laundry Room29 June 2002
Well, it's back to the laundry room for an office again. As the weather got hotter and hotter down in Verdi, and the wind kept blowing and blowing, we drove the RV out on Monday morning and came up to Lake Tahoe.

Unreal...Snow...Again26 April 2002
Well, I got out of Tahoe, and headed down to Reno... so what happens? It snows in Reno.... go figure. I woke up this morning, looked outside of the RV at the car, and shivered. Four inches of snow buried the car, and it was still ricocheting snow flakes. Life at Gold Ranch Casino ... (read more)
