 Nice trip to Reno and the surronding mountain ranges in winter. 930 miles driven, 70 miles hiked (including snowshoe) and lots of work accomplished at the house. A highlight of the trip was Beckwourth Pass and the Frenchman Recreation Area near Chilcoot, CA.  This is known as the Sierra Valley and gives rise to both the Yuba and Feather Rivers.  Many more days of exploring ahead!
