Surf's up!

Washoe Lake showing the effects of (a) the continued snowmelt; and (b) the Washoe Zephyr! Inset shows this dock & ramp back in February, 4 months ago almost to the day. The lake has risen another couple of feet or so since then, and there continue to be flood warnings on local streams and creeks due to snowmelt from the now-hot weather.

Surf's up!

Lake Tahoe on a windy day. Looking southwest from Cave Rock State Park, Nevada, USA. The skylined mountains are the Sierra Nevada in California. The high point to right of center is Mt. Tallac. The title isn't _completely_ facetious--people were actually surfing during a bigger storm a week later. The waves get that big only every ten years or so.
