An Ornery Bunch

We spent Memorial Day weekend camping at Cold Creek, north of Truckee, and hiking around the Lakes Basin area. We saw Frazier Falls and hiked to Smith Lake, and had a very nice weekend.

Frazier Falls

We’re sitting at an overlook of the Sierra Valley, and Sierraville is way behind us.

It’s a nice Sunday afternoon, the kids are playing with the neighbors, and I went and got my camping hammock with the bug screen and set it up in the front yard.

So, I’m laying here, listening to the Giants lose with a three run lead in the bottom of the ninth, and I can type a little blog entry on a Blackberry as I’m sitting in my little cocoon. It’s an amazing world.

Lance is employed by IGT, the largest slot machine and systems manufacturer.

We built a teardrop trailer from scratch, and we have pictures showing how I did it. There are some very good sites with plans, pictures, and a very good forum with helpful people.

If you’re looking for family genealogy, a very good site, although I’m not affiliated with it in any way, is The *RNER Genealogy Project.

Oh good. Taxes have been filed, and we’re even getting a small refund. Unfortunately, it’s already been purposed and won’t last long.

Also, IGT is up 8% right now.  Cool.

Justin passed his gymnastics test this weekend, and is going up to the next (red) level.

We then went up to Pyramid Lake to scout for camping sites.
