A 30 minute drive from my home allows me to stay a weekend in as "rugged" territory as one could find. What a treat, protected from the winds and finding a cool clear stream to just sit by (or in) and restore the mind in preparation for another busy week. Enjoy it!<BR/>Ron MackRonMackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14819822117600441113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195118970059599158.post-15289838816518937022008-09-25T17:28:00.000-07:002008-09-25T17:28:00.000-07:00Michel I love the mountains so much I retired in t...Michel <BR/>I love the mountains so much I retired in them.

That is where I feel most comfortable, and at peace. The cool, dry breezes, and heavy scent of pine trees carried by those breezes. Each time I arrive in the Sierra's I feel as though I have "come home". Ironically, my last name, "Hockwald", means "high forest" in German. I never tire of the view along Highway 395 in the Owens Valley of the Sierra's to the west, and the White Mountains to the east.Whatsnewellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18051814896720771000noreply@blogger.com
