If you don't know what it feels like, then get out there and do it to feel that magical sensation ASAP. You'll never know what it's really like until you've tried it.

Who else is ready to see these vistas painted white with a fresh coat of snow? The early snow has been nice, but pretty firm at times. Our touring options have been a bit limited. And, hiking isn't as fun as gliding across freshly fallen snow. So, let's get that storm door open and let Old Man Winter come cruising in.

Chasing in the middle of a makes you appreciate a little extra indoor living space. isn't quite the same as . But, the added conveniences of a fully self contained rig with abundant storage really does help ride the storms out. Plus, the diesel powerplant kept us into better double digit MPGs, even when using the onboard generator. Our RAM camper rarely sees double digits. Although, it's a bit easier to maneuver in tight quarters, parking lots, and off road situations.

There's a bit of snow on the ground. The higher elevation lakes are starting to ice over. But, so far most of the Winter weather is is dodging Tahoe. This isn't exactly new. But, some people have a tough time waiting for . So, who is already making plans to chase storms across the Rockies, Cascades, or even the Alps?

Getting away for some quick , then coming back home to a comet streaking overhead is nothing short of magical. We caught some down south, dinner before they close for the season later this month, and we even made a pit stop at Mono Lake to observe the glassy reflections and chat with some German adventurers. Learning the differences between and isn't so hard for adapting. It all comes down to accessibility, vehicle capability, managing electronics demands, and the basics of comfort. Ironically, the MPGs are actually better with the big rig, as opposed to the RAM. Although, either choice is definitely an investment at the pump. Either way, the ROI is definitely worth it. Which setup would you choose for exploring and why?

Love to see and hear the call of the wild in our backyard. Of course, we do know about the sordid history of apex predators, domesticated livestock, as well as wild game, all across the west. Let's hope that we've learned from the past and can feasibly co-habitate without risking extinction.

Not a lot of action shots today. Just one great emotional shot behind the bars. 🤓 It was a great ride with a long-time homie. Loved seeing his shiny new GS Rallye. And, it was great to take advantage of the warmer days of fall in the Sierra.

You can almost hear the mountains calling back to you. This is finally our time to enjoy the mountains that we call home.

Colors are popping all up and down the Sierra Nevada. It's still a little early for . But, it's only a matter of time before the fall foliage transitions to get ready for winter.

A little rain wasn't going to dampen the day today. Got out to see how the dirt was holding up on the Ol' Black Beauty. The Dunlop Trailmax Mission tires did stellar on the rocks, through the slop, and even on the wet tarmac heading safely back home.

Smoke from the , which ballooned up to 1500 acres during today's day. Let's hope that they get a handle on this overnight and we see some significant progress soon. Road closures, evacuations, power outages, and more are just part of the joys of .

Commuting from SLT. But, where did the commute end? A hint is that there was a 50°+ swing in temperatures.

How did you spend the ? Did you enjoy the longer day or do you look forward to longer nights? People will always have their own opinion on which is better. But, as they say, there's always a bit of light in the dark and a little dark in the light.

Some may see this as detrimental to the Tahoe tourist economy, but this may actually be a good thing. Tahoe is overly congested on weekends, especially after a fresh dusting of snow. So, seeing a few of the consistent weekend warrior clientele go elsewhere for a change could actually open up Tahoe for a more diversified clientele in the long run. How will this trend affect the housing market (STRs, 2nd homeowners, LTR prices, etc.), food and beverage industry, our local rental/retail shops, and more? Well, we know what hasn't been working too well, so let's see how this plays out. As they say, evolve or die. I don't think any of us really want to see the communities around Lake Tahoe become ghost towns for the latest boom/bust era.

Fed up with ski traffic to Lake Tahoe, some Bay Area skiers and snowboarders are opting to fly to ski areas in Utah, Colorado and beyond.
