Your Soul Knows When it’s Time to Close a Chapter

Learned recently that a dear friend from my time living in the Sierra Nevada Mountains is nearing the end and was recently placed in hospice care.

 

The Mrs. and I packed a bag and made the journey to the place we once called home. It was sad saying farewell to our dear friend and wonderful hiking companion. She will be remembered.

 

We stopped on the way home in Nevada’s first town, Genoa. Genoa was on the Emigrant Trail; a path traveled by hundreds of Pioneers coming to Oregon and California from the eastern States.

Genoa:

 

Founded in the Spring of 1851, Genoa is Nevada's first settlement. Sitting on the western edge of the Carson Valley, along the Overland Emigrant Trail, the town was settled by John Reese and pioneers from the Utah Territory. Historically, the land started as a lean-to named Mormon Station.
