On the way to Sacramento



Flying out to Sacramento, California was fun today.  The first picture is over Battle Mountain, Nevada.  It is in the middle of no where but is a little mining town.  The picture is a working Gold and Copper mine.  Sorry I could not quite reach a piece of Gold for ya.  The second picture is how they grow crops out there.  They have irrigation systems that water in a circle.  These green circles are everywhere and stick out in the dry brown dessert.  The last picture is Lake Tahoe.  It is a great summer place for boating and a wonderful winter ski destination.  The lake looks like a bowl.  It sits high up above the surrounding ground and is filled with water.  The town next to it is called Reno, Nevada.  Well they say Arnold S (The Governor/Terminator) is in town and eats lunch across from our hotel.  I will see if I can see the Terminator.  Be Good!

I can't believe we haven't been out to Lake Tahoe - put it on the list! It looks amazing.

It is a very cool place in the summer as well as the winter.
