I had an unbelievably blessed and special childhood. Yesterday, a simple day trip to my mother’s mountain cabin reminded me of this. This is Echo Lake. It’s located 2 miles off Highway 50 atop Echo Summit, just before you head down into Lake Tahoe. Isn’t it spectacular? The pictures don’t even do it justice. It’s […]
