Just thought I'd post some pics of some of my favorite places to wheel. Most of this is in the Tahoe area on the Nevada side of the Sierras. Before I got my X.
Little Indian Valley - About 30 miles South of Tahoe.

Me, AKA the flip-flop mountain man.

I'm hiding behind a stone 'foxhole' that i found somewhere way off-trail in the middle of nowhere. There were about 6 of them, some were pretty tall and took a bit of time to build. I'm thinking it must have been a boyscout troop playing guns or something, it was pretty strange because it was about 1-2000 yards off trail and totally hidden. There were definately 2 'bases' though.

I found this about 4,000 yards away from the nearest trail and it was totally hidden in a thicket. I don't really get it.

But at least I know who owns it and know there aren't some damn commies hiding in the hills.

Me going fast around a corner - what you do not see is the steep hill I'm trying to get a running start on - Tacoma failed many attempts but I know the x will make it.

Gotta love the views - this was on the way into Indian Valley. Took a difficult no-trail hike to get up to that vantage point.

Here is some more off-trail hiking along a gorge following a stream. It doesn't look as steep as it is.

Evidence that a bear was trying to climb out of the gorge on a rainy day.

A cool stone in the middle of a small field, very cool - looks like natural sacrificial altar, heh.

I used to live in Carson City and there were wild horses everywhere, same with Reno area. That last pic is AWESOME. I miss that area, sadly it's not the way I remember it growing up.
