Truckee fun and Butt Lake adventures

First off, let's show you how fit us over-50 year-olds are, because I can't help bragging.




Next, here's some fun shots of Truckee, and of Ian's cross-country track meet.  What fun to see him take 25th place out of 145 competitors!  Only his second event ever!






 Finally, we spent the day up at Butt Valley reservoir with Grant and Sara today.  To get there, we traveled through last year's burn area, which is being logged now.  It was a great day, and we got back to shore before the fierce afternoon winds kept us trapped on the lake.
