Day 1 in the Sierras

Actually, Mark picked me up in Reno at 3pm, and we were sitting on his deck in Squaw Valley by 4:30pm. A long - but not too difficult - travel day that started at 2:45am (eastern) and I managed to stay up until 9:30pm (pacific). Pizza and wine with Mark and Liz with lots of catching up to do.

As soon as I have had the obligatory three cups of tea, I'll had out on an easy morning shakeout run on the old western states trail. Later in the morning I'll be ski touring over at Alpine Meadows which is closed.
