Ricky's Visit - Part I

Last weekend Ricky Eugenio made his first trek to Reno to explore the great outdoors that surrounds our town. I took off Friday and Monday to make the most of our adventure time. This first series of picts was on Friday July 29th where we spent the day on the Flume Trail in the high country around Lake Tahoe. You can see our route in this link.

Topping out at close to 8700' in a mountain meadow. Marlette Lake below and Lake Tahoe in the distance
