NOW WE'VE SEEN IT

FINDING TRUCKEE

     What I knew about Truckee was that it was at or near the Donner Pass. And that is snowed a lot. We had also heard that modern Truckee is a fun and charming mountain town above Lake Tahoe.

      The Truckee River runs from Lake Tahoe into Nevada. A beautiful bike and hiking path follows the sparkling river through the canyons to Historic Truckee.

    Truckee is pleasing to the eyes and breathes with history.

     The Odd Fellows building, still in use, was built in 1871. Odd Fellows were a strong lodge in California's gold country and mountains.

     On the way from Lake Tahoe to Reno, the Truckee River passes a lot of back doors and porches.
      In the autumn it certainly is a charming spot.  Now when winter starts to bring the hundreds of inches of snow to the Sierra, things no doubt change a bit.  But snow boarders and skiers have different appreciations. I don't know that I will see Truckee in the snow, but we enjoyed
it as it looks above.

     See you down the trail.
