Greetings from Sugar Pine Point State Park on the California side of Lake Tahoe. Dee and I are on our way to the Gorge Amphitheater in Washington to see the Above and Beyond Group Therapy Weekender camping/music event. From Southern California, this is about 19 hours of driving.

Sometimes, I feel good...
