Back to Life



So, after a little doubt, I found out that there actually is one good thing about the People's Republic of Chi....errr...California. The scenery in northern California is absolutely breathtaking in some places. As many of you know, Karen and I just returned from our honeymoon at Lake Tahoe. We had a fantastic time, and many pictures will follow in the days to come. Drinking, gambling, hiking, etc..I'm off today to get a little relaxation time in before going back to work tomorrow. The list of great things on this trip is huge, and I'm trying to go through all of it and not leave anything out.
The picture on the top is a small pond near the top of Tallac mountain, which is one of the tallest peaks near Lake Tahoe. The pic below is at the top of Tallac. We didn't make absolute summit because of early season snowpack (yeah, in the middle of June) and the lack of proper equipment. It was still a six hour hike covering approximately 8 miles and 3000 vertical feet. Very draining, and they list the hike as "strenuous" for a reason. It was worth every second and every drop of sweat.
I'll decompress and compose a few more blogs shortly. As for now, In SB's immortal words....Good Day to You!!

Jen, you're right. That is a very good thing. Sooo, the count is 3. Tahoe is awesome, Sam and Kev are awesome, and The Naked Fish sushi joint that serves kick-ass Nigori sake is awesome. CZ
