RE: More Than Cheese Curds in Wisconsin!
great share - you really have an eye for photography! I have usually enjoyed company sponsored trips to distant places -my article about Carmel was the result of a company trip and it turned out to be beautiful - next company trip on the list: Lake Tahoe - WHOO - HOO!!
Thanks @jorlauski. I'll have to find some time to read your Carmel post. I've heard of it, but can't remember where it is. Lake Tahoe should be fun! We went there once with friends. They wanted to stay around the casinos though so we didn't get to actually enjoy the beauty of Lake Tahoe. Drove by the lake only, hehe. I had the best French Dip sandwich there, but can't remember which place.
I don't think I want to go there again though, not even for the french dip. It's an upward commute up the mountains and actually kind of scary. The roads are narrow and some areas had very deep drops without guardrails. I made the mistake of looking down and now have chills just thinking of it. I probably won't drive there again. We have snow and lakes here too and roads are a bit safer to travel here imo, so I'm cool.
Hope you have fun on the next company trip. They are always the best. I was trying to get my last company to make me project management of a hospital based in Hawaii...just in case I ever had to travel. They chose someone in Cali to be the point person. Darnit.
I feel the same as you when it comes to cliffs and ledges without rails ... gives me the chills too - its worse if I'm the passenger and can see over the edge. It's a deep seated fear that stems from an incident I had as a child where we were in a jeep and my mother driving it somehow she lobbed us off the side of the road and turned the jeep on its side - all i remember is her saying "nobody move " cause it was teetering on a ledge.In retrospect 0 it was only a small ledge - but as a kid everything seems bigger than it is...I don't like traveling on windy roads either -- especially in the snow or at night.
