Jeanni went on a hike by herself near Tahoe.

Typical view.

Another self-portrait. Jeanni leads a very busy life.

 I went hiking by myself and didn't see anyone for 4 hours.  I listened to my iPod, Sarah Brightman and Marketa Irglova and sang very loud.  It probably scared the bears away.  I also brought food and sat on a rock, ate, and enjoyed the view.
