Am buying a home with a view in Reno. Living the dream, boys.

Back from the road trip. Was warmer than typical and smoke from the Mosquito Fire floated into Reno a couple of times during the visit. I may be a jinx as was at Tahoe for a week last year and heavy smoke settled in there during our stay.

The balloon race was not a scenic event as the smoke haze interfered.

Was amazed at the Truckee River being much more than a mere creek or stream. Locals seem to cast shade at the river but the water was moving in what I presume is a low flow with the snow melt finished. The trash tossed in the water was off-putting and hope efforts are made to fish out the road signs and bottles. I never saw a float tuber. I guess there is not a tube rental operator that then picks you up downstream then returns you to a parking lot.
Near Tahoe there is a tube rental place. Last summer we brought our kayak and SUP up. Definitely some little rapids on some areas, although much of it is calm and serene.

Mt Rose area is great to hike. If you train at 6000+ feet, the hiking will be easier come hunting season.
