June 2024 Vlog
Lots of hiking this month since I'm training for backpacking trips in July, but I did manage to do some other stuff as well.
We came one question away from advancing in the DJ Trivia playoffs, we had a lovely day up at Lake Tahoe, the summer sunsets are in full effect here, and there are lots of critters visiting the ponds near our house. I even went to the office for the first time in quite a while!

Spooner Summit to Genoa Peak Hike along the Tahoe Rim Trail 2024
zhlédnutí 191Před dnem
This hike starts at the Spooner Summit south trailhead and goes for about 7 miles south to the summit of Genoa Peak. Once there you will have views of both the Carson Valley and Lake Tahoe. The hike is somewhat challenging and has a couple of good climbs plus the steep climb to the summit of Genoa Peak. The last bit to the summit is on a steep dirt road with a bit of a rock scramble that is not...
Silent Hiking to the Summit of Mt. Rose - June 2024 | Snow Report
zhlédnutí 218Před 14 dny
A short video of our hike to the summit of Mt. Rose on June 16th of 2024 showing the trail conditions. Some snow on the trail but all of the patches are pretty easy to go over or around. Only a few somewhat sketchy patches. Shoes with good treads and trekking poles recommended for a little extra safety and to maintain those three points of contact.

Fordyce Falls Backpacking 2024
zhlédnutí 193Před měsícem
AllTrails link for this trip: www.alltrails.com/explore/recording/activity-may-20-2024-07a96b1?u=i&sh=yiuvox A relatively easy beginner backpacking trip. Best to do this one in the Spring when the falls have lots of Spring runoff. No permits required, but be aware of local rules about packing out waste and fire regulations. I'm happy to answer any questions in the comments.

It was a busy month full of interesting weather, trips to the farmers market, lots of trivia, a country-themed wedding, social science night at the Discovery Museum, loads of water fowl, and a fun movie night. Please like, comment, share, subscribe, enjoy, and all that jazz. Thanks for watching!
Tule Peak Hike near Pyramid Lake | April 2024
zhlédnutí 259Před 2 měsíci
This is a challenging hike. From where we parked, we hiked about 8 miles and climbed roughly 3700'. There is very little shade on the trail. Not a hike I would recommend for a hot day. Go early in the morning or on a cool day. Remember that once you get to the summit you have to get back down. The descent is almost worse than the climb, and it can be tricky in spots with all of the unstable roc...

The month started and ended with snow. There was some hiking and some exploring, more trivia, and the critters are starting to come out of their winter hiding places. We also dyed some eggs and enjoyed good food for St. Patrick's Day. Oh, and we had a yummy meal at the Western Village Steak House and opening day happened for baseball.

      I use a Jetboil. Boil the water. Pour in the potatoes. Wait a minute. Eat. Super easy cleanup. Could also boil the water and rehydrate in a Ziploc freezer bag.

    I've hiked the Rim to Reno trail, both the 20 mile & 25 mile hikes, ending at this Thomas Creek Trailhead. Sadly both times, in 2021 & 2022 the view along the rim were obscured by smoke from CA wildfires. 2 overnights on the shorter hike, 3 overnights on the longer hike. If you ever decide to hike the Rim to Reno trail let me know so I can provide you with the all important geo co-ords of water sources at Bronco Creek & high up on the trail coming down alongside Thomas Creek Begin your Rim to Reno hike from the Mt Rose trailhead - trust me on this. Dry Pond loop which I hiked numerous times, I've always started at the Thomas Creek trailhead & hiked like you in a counter-clockwise direction. Lots of geocaches along all these trails. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada

      Yes, my plan is to start the Rim to Reno at the Mt. Rose trailhead and mostly do a lot of descending. My son will join me so we have a car at each end. This is a favorite hike that Boy Scouts can do to complete their hiking merit badge, though I’ve never done it myself!

    AWESOME hike! I actually did this one a couple of days ago (May 3, 2024). I took a slightly different route, but got there just the same. I got a late afternoon start (5:00PM), but got to see a REALLY great sunset from the summit. The hike down in the dark was mostly uneventful, but I had a weird encounter close to the bottom with a mustang. Not sure if THAT could have turned out bad.
