This
Photo was taken Oct. 18, 1999.
at
about 3PM local time
I
climbed up a hill just north of the town
to
get the shot
The
view is looking South by South East.
A
bit about myself !
I'm
past the half way point to 100 years old,
and
I still play with my trains.
I
like Country Music, Cajon-Mexican-Sea foods.
I
was raised on the clean Pacific Ocean air of the beaches,
and
the grandeur of the great Redwood Trees, in
Santa
Cruz, CA. I moved to Reno, Nevada in 1980.
I'm
single and have never been married.
I
have worked as a Fork Lift Operator for 3 years,
Truck
Driver for 2 years, Auto-Machanic for
10
years, Cab Driver for most of two years,
and
a Stage Tech for the last 19 years.
