genoa nevada: A Place to Warm the Bones
- 01/24/15 07:41 AM
Last Monday afternoon, I was taken out of commission by a virus. It’s been several days of chills, night sweats, and achy bones. While doing couch time on the way to a mend, I couldn’t help thinking about one of my favorite places, a mere 20 miles east on the other side of the Sierra Nevada range from Lake Tahoe.

genoa nevada: Eastern Slope of the Sierra Nevadas in a Dry Year
- 07/30/14 12:10 PM
The scene pictured below is along the Eastern slope of the Sierra Nevadas, not far from the little town of Genoa, Nevada in beautiful Carson Valley. The Sierras look quite different in late summer, or a dry year, than in winter when they are snow-capped or covered. Genoa, is the oldest settlement in Nevada. It's about 45 miles south of Reno. David Walley's Resort and Hot Springs is located not far from where this picture was taken. For more information about historic Genoa, you can click on "Genoa History."

This scene is along Kingsbury Grade, between Lake Tahoe and Genoa Nevada. Genoa, Nevada is the oldest settlement in the State of Nevada.

As the days progress, the hot springs present many moods. The shadows, beams and mists, appear differently as the sun jumps from leaf to leaf. Several species of waterfowl occupy the waters in the vicinity. My family has spent several vacations here. This scene was shot from our condo deck. During the night, before this photo was taken early morn, the wild ducks, and waterfowl came to play in the ponds. It was early … (17 comments)
