I wasn't sure where Castle Peak was, but when I looked at a map and saw that it was on the north side of I-80 from Boreal, I thought "Wow!"

The only time I tried to ski (cross-country) was south of Lake Tahoe, near U.S. 50. We didn’t go far from the highway. Conditions were poor so we did not stay very long. That was more than 40 years ago.

We lived in Sacramento years ago and made lots of trips up over Donner Summit into Tahoe and Reno. I had written down the areas mentioned in the story and looked them up also. We went skiing a couple of times but it was so long ago, I don’t remember if it was up Hwy 40 into State Line or 80 over Donner. Went to Squaw Valley just to see it after the Olympics there. Most of the time, it was just trips to gamble and for fun. The good old days when you could take off on a whim...let’s go to State Line.
