The Chances

The Tahoe Rim Trail is a trail that goes 165 miles around the perimeter of Lake Tahoe in California & Nevada. They have it separated into 8 sections so you can finish it without having to do the entire trail at once.

With the hike I did on Saturday, I've now completed all 165 miles! I had wanted to complete it last year, but my mother's illness made that impossible. I mentioned this to the TRT Association person on the phone, and she said, "Some people take ten years!" I found that funny, since the trail was only completed in 2001. :)

A couple of the hikes varied slightly from the postings. Brockway Summit to Tahoe Meadows, for instance, we climbed Mt. Rose, which added 5 miles to the total.

I'm now a member of the 165 Mile Club, and eagerly await my certificate. Next up: Mt. Whitney in two weeks! Woo!
