Welcome to Lake Tahoe


My travels take me to N. Lake Tahoe in search of possible employment, time with friends, and a needed change of scenery.



Southern California puts me close to so many influential companies in the action sports world. It also puts me within "no big deal" distance to some of the best MX tracks in the country. However, the job market is looking slim down here, craigslist has been a complete joke, and the action sports job board Malakye hasn't been much help either.


Now I love driving, it gets old sometimes but I truly love driving around and one of my simple pleasures on the road, other than getting diesel at a reasonable price, is stopping at truck stops (like the Flying J) to check out the assortment of flannels, cheap jackets, wolf t-shirts, and truck accessories.



I've always loved this part of the country. I mean, all you need to do is walk outside and the view says it all. The week before I arrived, Tahoe experienced record breaking snow for this time of the year; 9 feet in 5 days. CalTrans gets a bad rap but when the snow falls in Tahoe, no need to worry, CalTrans is Johnnie on the spot, and your day is unaffected.



The weather is usually good and by good I mean its either dumping or sunny. Cold doesn't really enter the vernacular however, with some record breaking early season snow, comes some unseasonably cold weather.

The Diggers are loose!
