September 23-26, 2019 Palo Alto, California To Pyramid Lake, Nevada


I finished a few more rows on my current masterpiece. Laurie's three sons came over to pick up a few things. Michael, Jon and Matt. Always nice to see them. 

I took John to dinner at the Brewer's Cabinet brewery in Reno for his birthday season, Here he is with his double IPA. The Truckee River running through Reno. 

A picture of the new Reno The biggest little city in the world sign (on top) and the old one. Welcome to Nevada, a stained glass whale on the riverwalk and the Believe sign along the riverwalk.  

I got stung by a yellow jacket, on my right ankle, walking down the sidewalk on Sunday. It just keeps swelling bigger and bigger. It is hot, red, sore and itchy. We went into Circus Circus to see the circus shows but they were not having them till evening. Thunderbird Motel sign and NO weapons or club colors allowed. The historic Nugget. 

The large tree sculpture was built by Misha Naiman, my brother-in-law's grand daughter. It  is a sculpture of an ancient bristlecone pine tree. Mural in Reno, home sign, and lucky money to loan. John driving a vintage car wearing a duster and hat.  

Sue driving the vintage car wearing a red hat and duster. We went to the National Automobile Museum.  Fireman parking only, All others will be smoked and a copper rolls royce.  Fabulous museum. 

We had dinner at my cousin Lys's house tonight. I paddled around the lake in their housing development of six houses before dinner. Their beautiful house over the lake.  

My cousin Lys. It was great to see her and Paul. We are now at Pyramid Lake, Nevada. Beautiful very deep blue lake on the Paiute reservation.

The bus at our private beach on Pyramid lake. No one else is camped here. Only one jet ski went by, then no other boats. It is like having our own private lake. John walking on the beach north. 

Walking back south on the beach. Near dusk-my favorite time of the day- I launched my kayak on the lake. It was mirror smooth. Looking back at the bus on our private beach.  

Looking east across the lake. The pointy rock is Pyramid Rock. Mossy rocks by the marina.  

The sun is dropping below the hills behind me. 

Grebes on the lake. When I turned around to go back a head wind blew up. Sunset behind me.  
Sunset in front of me in a sheltered cove by our beach.
