so I flew in to Reno last week for a few days of work, and planned a shoot at Tahoe one night.
as I ascended the Reno side of the pass, and the snow and ice on the roads got more treacherous, I began to regret choosing the muscle car from the rental place. when I reached the flashing warning lights that said "snow tires or chains required beyond this point" and had to turn around, I realized I could have planned a little better in advance.
the following night, after a quick vehicle swap at the airport for an AWD jellybean, once again I attempted the pass. of course the weather was perfect and dry, so made it with no problems, jellybean or no.
sunset was meh because of the lack of clouds (which, introspectively, sounds pretty jaded, but there you have it) but once the sun went down, I knew the second attempt would be worth it.
