Happy Birthday. I just noticed where you are from. About 20 years ago, I took a trip from Tahoe to Napa, then on to San Fran. Left SF headed back to Tahoe about 5 pm or so and it was a beautiful, sunshiny day with a temp of about 60. When stopped at a little store on Donner Pass a few hours later snow was falling and it was 17 degrees. Headed down Mountain towards Truckee with a full moon shining on us at about 25 mph or so. Absolutely beautiful country, but I was real happy when Truckee came into view. We were hungry too, so stopped at an all night casino/restaurant to give my knuckles a break. Then I decided to have some fun on a gambling site and even won a significant amount of money. Very interesting trip. I would love to live around Tahoe. It's the one place that lived up to my imagination of what something should be. Just Beautiful!
That sounds like an incredible trip! The journey from Tahoe to Napa and San Francisco, with the dramatic change in weather at Donner Pass, must have been quite the adventure.

That sounds like an incredible journey! The transition from sunny San Francisco to the snowy beauty of Donner Pass must have been quite the experience.
