Hike near home in Toiyabe National Forest

Duke and I did a great hike today from Sierra Canyon where we live north up into the Toiyabe National Forest. We were on Forest Service Roads the whole time but the only vehicle we saw was one motorcycle. We went a total of just over 10 miles and went from an elevation of 5,313 feet to 6,587 feet when we turned around. The weather was beautiful, the wild flowers were out and we saw a snake. (not a rattle snake)

What happened at the Republican Convention in Reno

Bob Beers was the chairman of the Nevada Republican Convention Saturday in Reno. If you are interested in the chairman’s perspective of what happened at the convention and why we adjourned without completing our business you should read Bob Beers blog.  I subscribed to Beer’s blog after the convention. It is very readable. I understand he came second in the gubernatorial primary last time around. I was impressed with him at the convention and would vote for him if he ran for state wide office again,
