This Book of Days traces paths through a wild Tahoe timescape, long days covering ground off trail through this charmed high country, bespangled by winter snows and bejeweled by summer blooms, sunrise to sunset, season after season, trying to be there in that sweet spot when it all comes together. Also, cloud pondering, shore shuffling, and extreme picnicking.   Come on along…
