Here's an old post from late-Sept. Spent a fun weekend with Marian and her kiddos at Pahatsi.
- Fri morning I rode
Hole in the Ground with Metres... followed by an
afternoon run chasing the boys around the lake. Then went on a
paddle with the boys, where they collected all kinds of "lake weed". And finally we cruised down to
Truckee to ride the bike park... where I forgot my shoes and rode in my sandals... and ate it quite hard.

| watch out for this dude... |
 |
| bear tracks |
 |
| On our way down to the lake... to paddle! |
 |
| Then the kiddos hopped in the hot tub. |
 |
| So they could be all clean to hit up the Truckee Bike Park (the best bike park!) |
 |
| I forgot my shoes... |
 |
| Nikko was worries he wasn't gonna be tall enough to ride... |
 |
| And I ate it quite hard when I slipped off my sweaty sandals off a landing. Found out I broke a rib on this wreck actually.. I thought I hurt my back as I couldn't sleep on it for while, so I kept on going to the chiropractor... which was excruciating. |
 |
| Sushi! In Truckee! |

Later that night Marian came up with her kiddos in tow. And the next morning we had planned a fun hike on the summit. There are endless hikes/trails on the summit... it's such an amazing spot. Here are some links about the catfish ponds.
I also did a solo
trail run around the lake.
And we went back out on the lake where we saw Otters on our Paddle.

| We thought these were eggs at first. Turns out they are part of a plant. |
 |
| Check out the dragon! You know you are in the right spot if you see this. |
 |
| our viewing platform for the catfish. After about 10 min of tossing bread into the lake, we were about to give up. |
 |
| Then they all showed up! |
 |
| Then we hiked to a peak and found a swing on the way! |
 |
| while I went on a run, the kiddos (and Kimbo) watched some college football |
 |
| Then Kimbo rode down to the lake to go paddle! |
 |
| The last paddle of the season... was the best. We saw otters! Crazy right? I thought so... |
-------------
Sunday morning I went on a
short run, and we decided to go down the hill to do a hike at the
Black Hole of the Calcutta as it was forecast to be 20 deg warmer down there vs the summit.
 |
| Some art on my run... |
 |
| Stopped at a nice brewery in Auburn! |
