Truckee California

Truckee California ... going home for the funeral. 

We stayed at the River Street Inn right in town across from the Truckee Diner.

The couple that runs this lovely rustic inn were so friendly and helpful! We felt right at home and would completely recommend this place to any of our friends or family

Jax Truckee Diner ... Oh dude, try the home made corned beef hash and fresh squeezed orange juice. Sooooo delicious!

I couldn't get over how flippin cold it was! It was MINUS nine degrees F when we arrived.  F could stand for Fahrenheit? I learned right away not to touch anything metal with bare hands! 


The trains were amazing. My only grief about staying right town was the constant "Whooot!" of the trains and grating of the 24 hour snow blowers.

The Truckee Train Depot ... Look at those icicles!!!

Heh ... that's a LOT of snow! Steve said they'd already received 44 feet of snow this season! Can you imagine?

Fwhit-Fwhew! Sara and Steve ... the ONLY photo I captured with the two of them that didn't have one of them sticking out their tongues or holding up rabbit ears behind eachothers' heads! LOL


Lot's of shopping to be done. Not that we didn't already hit every REI from Seattle to Truckee anyhow!

Everyone seems to have their own personal snowblower doohickey thing


Truckee's finest 

Squaw Valley

Amazing scenics everywhere!
