Hi everyone!
Well, I just couldn't take only going to the mountains every so often so I had to move there! I moved to Truckee and am a super happy happy happy camper! It's gorgeous here with all the mountains! Hope to see you guys on a trip soon. I'll be at winterfest for sure!

Hi hikerchic5®! Congrats! Truckee is really cool. If you were a guy you'd freeze your pelotas off this winter. But you're not, and be thankful, so enjoy! It wasn't that far out of Truckee where I had my Sasquatch experience, so keep yer eye out.

Way Cool!
Good luck Kiddo with your new adventure...moving from the Bay Area to the mountains was one of the smartest things I have done in my life...I suspect you will find that's true for you too.

Looking forward to see you again. I've been thinking about getting out your way after Winterfest...around March or so. Been too long since I've been to Tahoe.

Be seeing ya.....

Hey at last you speak. I wrote to your e-mail but I guess that address went away with the old job? Does the yahoo address still work? Good luck. Stay in touch.

Cool. It gets cold there! Some of my high school class mates moved there. If you run into any of them, say hello.

OK, let's get back on track here! So much for the "yeah, you're so lucky Drinker-chic to live in the most beautiful place in the world!!! (sorry, but for the un-informed, Drinkerchic = Hikerchic!)

The IMMEDIATE question is snow-shoeing over the Turkey Holiday season...

I'm going SOMEWHERE, not sure where yet, maybe a one-day trip, but maybe Saturday- Sunday backpack & camp somewhere overnight backpack trip.

I can go out Rte 50 toward South end of Tahoe, or, out I80 toward Truckee, lot's of options either way.

If you wanna come, send me an e!

And Welcome to Paradise!!!!

Hikerchic, congratulations! New everything! We pass by Truckee several times in the winter. Maybe we can stop in and say 'hi.'

Hello Hikerchic!

That is so great you moved to be closer to the mountains! Welcome to Lake Tahoe!
I love Truckee, it is a beautiful town..with a lot of charm.
We live on the South shore in Meyers...just below Echo summit. We love living here, we are a short walk from Desolation, and so many other great hiking areas, Carson Pass area is beautiful too. It would be neat to hike with you this summer around here. I do day hike with a nice group every Tuesday..and then usually another day of the week I go with two girlfriends on a day hike..and of course my favorite is to backpack.

How cold was it yesterday morning on Monday there? I can just imagine..as it gets colder in Truckee then it does here. It was MINUS 3 here Monday morning, and we had a frozen water pipe, it thawed out at about 2:30..so we kept the faucet running last night just a bit.
This morning it is 6 degrees, not below 0..but still cold.
Nice to hear you are in Truckee, you are very lucky, and enjoy being here.
Thanks for posting this
Please if you need anything let me know

Hikerchic, I heard it was -11 in Truckee. Jerry wondered if you still like it there. Sounds like you do.

We will be spending the day at Donner Summit on Sunday, 12/19, either snow shoeing or skiing. So far, it is Wanderer and Jerry and I, and maybe PepperDog. Look at the Loon Lake Fiasco thread. Maybe you could join us.

Why did I move? Well, I didn't like working in construction and that's the major industry. The tourists drove me up the wall too. I sure do miss my mountains though.

Hikerchic - Great move! Glad you went ahead and did it! I'm in Eugene now, so I'm with you and the moving scene. I love the Tahoe area, so you never know when you might hear from me! See you at Winterfest!
