Peavine Peak

Peavine Peak 10 miles 2:15 (summit 1:24:30) - 3000 feet elevation gain.

My buddy Paul over at Tahoe Weather Blog says the snow is coming, so I figured I should find another mountain to climb before it's too late.  I have now run three of the four highest peaks in the Reno/Tahoe area between December 23 and January 14 without any snow.  Let's hope I never get to do that again. 

Definitely not the most visually stunning run, as it's all on 4wd roads in the sagebrush. Some good training though - this run always end up being a slog for me.

10 miles of this.  Ugh.

See the deer?  (click to enlarge)

I thought this tree looked cool.  Very few trees on this side of Peavine.
