What a great thread, thanks for posting up everyone.

Several years ago I was a winter guest at a cabin between Lower and Upper Echo Lakes off of Echo Summit here in the Tahoe Sierra. The owners have a wonderful photo album there since the cabin has been in the family for a very long time. Anyway thumbing through it I found photos of a ski tour lead by David Brower with friends from Echo Summit to Donner Summit, it must have been in the late 30's right before the war. Talk about hard core, just imagine how wild the Tahoe backcountry must have been back then. Highway 50 was a dirt road!!!

The tenth is still alive. I just re-buried my uncle, who was a marine. All the thoughts of Tony came flooding back. He is missed in this family SO much. Tony dropped out of Yale and did two tours in Europe. I have his purple heart and silver stars.
