It’s about to be the summer season of the native bucket record.
With fuel costs predicted to stay high into the fall, it might be an excellent yr for a staycation, and examine off all of the enjoyable issues proper right here in our personal yard.
There are the issues we have at all times needed to do, like floating the Truckee River.
There are the issues we have performed, however in all probability should not do once more, like that downtown whiskey crawl.
Then there are the issues that we hold saying we need to do — particularly, take part within the Reno Tahoe Odyssey — besides, what weekend is it? Shoot, there’s one other factor that weekend, an un-reschedulable factor. Definitely subsequent yr although, perhaps.
What bins did we examine off not too long ago?
Right earlier than summer season final yr, I requested RGJ readers which iconic native actions they’ve skilled. Here’s what you stated for the summer season ones:
- 92% had gone swimming in Lake Tahoe.
- 76% had been to a Reno Aces recreation.
- 67% had been to a meals truck rally.
- 64% have gone stargazing within the Nevada wilderness.
- 60% had floated down the Truckee River.
- 46% had participated in a beer crawl and/or a wine stroll.
- 32% had hiked to the highest of Mt. Rose.
- 9% had participated within the Reno Tahoe Odyssey.
There was a extremely distinct sample there … if the verb that finest described the exercise was “sit,” “eat,” “float” or “crawl,” we have been all in. When it was “hike” and “run,” we out of the blue misplaced curiosity.
Still, there’s so much I did not ask about in that ballot, a few of them equally iconic — attending the Reno Rodeo, testing a farmers market, going to the Reno River Festival or Street Vibrations or any occasion the place the streets have been closed down.
Also, based mostly on our basic aversion to bodily exercise, I’ve extreme doubts that lots of you truly went full-on swimming in Tahoe. Getting your ankles moist, then loudly saying to your family and friends how chilly it’s, does not depend as swimming.
And to be blunt, who cares whether or not another person has performed one thing; what readers need to know is whether or not they ought to do it with their restricted summers. We’re again to jacket weather in the mean time, and there is a sturdy risk that we’ll be in smoke climate by August. That offers us all a slim three-month band to get issues performed, and we will be compelled to skip fairly just a few of those. Let’s crowdsource the method as a lot as attainable.
