I just spent the most incredible week of my life with the 62nd Annual Highway 50 Wagon Train. It was my first time, but I certainly hope it won't be my last. Beginning in Stateline, Nevada and ending in Placerville, California, it covered some of the most beautiful scenery in the area. We had rain, and snow, and hail, and thunderstorms, a rainbow, and finally some beautiful sunny weather. Camping was a bit of a challenge, especially when we awoke to snow on our tent. There were reports of us trapped in the Sierras, and the Donner Party was mentioned more than once, must I must confess I spent the layover day drying my boots in front of the fire, snuggled in with good friends at Strawberry Lodge. Riding in the wagon over Echo Summit was definitely a high point of the journey, but there was much to be learned all along the way. I came away with a much better appreciation for our ancestors who came before us, with the vision to dream of The West. I met some new friends, and a few interesting characters. I got to spend time with dear friends, and wrangled our dogs. I even found time to take a picture or two. It was a heck of an adventure!!!
