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.
“”Hwy 40””
Correction - I meant Hwy 50....
