A NIGHT AT TOPEZ LAKE

         This is one of those shut the door--open the window stories. It was Friday evening, 5/18/2018, and I was attempting to get a room at a Holiday Inn south of Carson City, Nevada. They were totally booked, but, the lady clerk must have felt pity for this old man and referred me a few miles south to a Best Western Lodge. 

          The location was in Topez Lake, a made man lake of some size and with a range of snow peaked mountains behind and to the southeast. The lodging was newer, quite nice, and not all that expensive considering my stunning view. Sometimes, Lady Luck or my Guardian Angel does take over and looks after me!
