Did Mini Meet West last week at Lake Tahoe on the California/Nevada border - address is Stateline Road and the State line runs right through the resort - the pool, the Imdian Room etc.

Grandson Kaden with my son Jeremy and daughter-in-law Quyen at Crater Lake Oregon



Soon to be 3 Kaden with Grizzly bear in Adin, Californis:



Hotel is at some 6,500 ft. elevation. We crossed an 8,900 ft. high pass getting to the lake. Rallye route straddled that pass and the Autocross was held at the Mt. Rose Main Lodge at 8,220 ft. elevation.

I loved lake Tahoe when I was working in Reno, NV. Water skiing there in summer, ice around the edge of it in winter.

My greatest fear in life is that when I die my wife will sell my Mini and tools for the price I told her I paid for them!

He'll fit right in here, we worked a Reno winter in shorts and short sleeves. The rugged up locals all thought we were mad.
