We began at Spooner Summit (7100'), a stop I have been meaning to make.

We stopped because there were two letterboxes here, but we promised we would return to this historically significant area for summertime explores.

Once in Carson City, we searched for its numerous letterboxes to be discovered.

This letterbox path was pretty much 'out of this world', leading to the Jack C. Davis Observatory.  One of the clues dealt with finding Mickey's friend (Pluto).  We will definitely return here.  One of the great benefits of letterboxing is often the 'treasures' are hidden in places that are new to us. This was a true find.

Our reason for coming to Carson was to see Bob's pear cider win in the 3rd Annual Homebrewers Competition at High Sierra Brewing Company.

Bob took top honors for his cider.  He now has the hat and glass to prove it.
