May '10 road trip - leg 2

May road trip, leg 2... Clovis to Lake Tahoe. On the road again...



Driving north by northeast... and lovin' life...



...the music was cranked up, my water bottle next to me, and a map on the passenger seat. This is what the central valley looks like...


See that snow? That's where I'm headed, eventually... see you in about 5 hours!!!





Confession time: my road trips are 100% about In 'N Out burgers and grande lattes and sunflower seeds. Need proof?

And now it's time to turn east and head into the mountains... yippee!!!



About now is when I rolled down the windows... how I love the smell of the pine trees!!!




As I'm driving up the road I realize I've never driven this stretch before. There's something extra pure about a road trip when you're charting new personal territory. (I've been in Tahoe before - but my Dad was driving the car at that point... I believe I was about 12 when I was there last.) However, me driving... this was new and exciting!



Oh wow... breathtaking...





Almost there!!! Almost there!!!

However, it was time to stop for another venti iced vanilla latte... and then it's just about time to meet up with the family!!!





Ahh.... "home" for the week...



View from the driveway...

- looking to the left (up the hill) we see the slopes, above

- looking to the right (down the hill) we see the Lake, below


Do you want a peek of the Lake? Here you go... more to come soon...






life is good...
