Photo of the day: Why I hike

Yes, a car ride to the mall would be an easier outing, but I’m more interested in epic views, tranquil lakes and nature. My sister shot this photo of me next to Dardanelles Lake south of Lake Tahoe. It captured my contemplative mood as I took in our surroundings and asked, “how did I get so lucky?”

Enjoying the view at Dardanelles Lake.

    That was a great day amongst many while you were in Tahoe with me. I can’t wait to add to the growing list of memories.
