Reno Hot Air Balloon Races 2013

We checked out the GRBR this weekend. We woke up at 3 AM so I thought we’d be among the first ones there. Boy was I wrong. Everyone and their brother was there and the traffic was horrible. By the time we walked onto the field they had started inflating the balloons and we couldn’t see a thing. More importantly, I couldn’t change the settings on my camera as my flashlight failed and the only source of light was the intermittent glow from the balloons. 99% of my fotos are junk.

Lake Tahoe 2013

We haven’t seen Jimi in such a long time, so we decided to go up to Tahoe to see him. We rented a place in the Tahoe Keys & drove up for the 3 day weekend. Because of the Rim Fire in Yosemite the air was a bit smoky but not nearly as bad as was expected. This also made for small crowds.

Needless to say Jimi’s food is incredible. So good we went twice. I didn’t even get the chance to photograph everything. The Roasted Kampachi Head was so good & quite a spectacle when he served us.

Day trip to Sugar Pine Point.

Amy was nice enough to bring Maverick over so we could take him on a short hike.
