 Drive north on Highway 89 from Lake Tahoe in the summer and you’re bound to see hundreds if not thousands of brightly colored rafts and other inflatable devices on the river, but the four-mile stretch of the Truckee form Tahoe to River Ranch is more of a leisurely float than a whitewater adventure.Write Comment (0 Comments) |

 Taco Bell’s Grilled Stuft Steak Burrito® never tasted so good. The time was 4:42 p.m. at Crystal Peak Park in Verdi, Nev., and thanks to the heat in Keith’s cozy Toyota FJ Cruiser my fingers were starting to thaw from their frozen grip I had since 4:42 a.m. — when we started our “expedition” of the Truckee River from Lake Tahoe to Reno’s Wingfield Park.Write Comment (0 Comments) |

Grab a buddy and form your own Muck Squad for Reno River Festival’s inaugural Run Amuck competition. The race will start and finish in the middle of the festival, so you’re sure to be seen by everyone and their mother (unless she’s running amuck as well). Contestants will be going from Wingfield Park to Idlewild Park, where you'll get to “low crawl” through a 60-foot mud pit and continue on through other surprise obstacles throughout the 2.5-mile course.Write Comment (0 Comments) |

 For four North Tahoe residents; Duncan Sisson, Jake Spero, John Witherspoon and Sam Skrocke, life probably will never be the same again after their nine month journey last year. All three, athletic in their own way to start, decided to take the chance and bike more than 15,000 miles from Alaska to Argentina.Write Comment (0 Comments) |
