Tahoe
I love the Sierras.
Mountains, trees, lakes and cool water streams. I love the smell of the fresh mountain air. It is cathartic in a way I sometimes find hard to explain. Just being "up" in the mountains lowers my blood pressure. Less people, fewer idiots by far and a breed of people who really care about the area they live in. "Keep Tahoe Blue" the stickers say, and yes i have one on my vehicle. I think I am going to make one that says "Keep The Sierras Green." Plant a tree and help save this natural beauty. I loved the Sierras as a kid, as an adult and now as a parent. My family has come to thoroughly enjoy hiking and fishing. My 2 year-old happily reeled in his hook over and over to show me the worm he caught. The pure unbridled joy of your first catch. When my 10 year-old daughter caught her first fish 4 years ago she kept saying she had something on the line and I just kept sating "Okay honey, keep reeling" and to my surprise when she only had about 20 feet of line out there was a nice 13 in. rainbow trout. I could not have been happier.
