He asked with a smile. She answered with a smile.
Just outside of town they paused to scan the surrounds.
Still smokey, but spectacular, nonetheless.
On down into a nearby canyon to the Gold Rush mining town of Washington.
Whose gentle stream stands littered with the rocky remains of past mining conquests.
The beauty of the Sierras now lays amidst peace and quiet since the miners moved on.
As the sun fades we make our way back up to the highway and begin heading for home. The view toward Lake Tahoe calls to my heart, but that must be saved for another day.
The setting of the sun signals the end of our drive. We turn southward toward home, knowing tomorrow will have another evening and the hope of another drive.

Gorgeous. I can almost smell the pines (I'm choosing to filter the smoke smell).

Hi Debbie, I can smell that fresh mountain air. I noticed you are in Grass Valley, love that town. Our friends own about 10 acres there and we like to go there with them.
