Co-Pilot and I loaded up Bouncing Betty and headed up the Hwy 88 corridor. I had booked last minute 4th of July reservations at Plasses Resort on the shores of Silver Lake at 8000 feet.

Nice old school resort if a bit busy with ATV’s.

After checking in we poked around on 88

Caples

Kirkwood in summer slumber

over the pass and down into Tahoe. Co-pilot got her gambling bug addressed and I in fact continue to pile up the brownie points. Saturday AM we headed back up to the pass for a day hike on the Pacific Crest Trail.

We headed south towards Winnemucca lake but stopped somewhat short (of breath).  Wildflowers were abundant  and there was still snow on the cornices.
