Yes, the earth was moving last night. Looks like a 4.7 earthquake struck at 11:37 p.m., 23 miles north of Truckee, but we felt it down here, too. The quake originally measured 5.2 by U.S. Geological Service, but was downgraded to 4.8 shortly afterward, and they now say it was 4.7.
There were a few aftershocks, including a 2.5 and 2.4 soon after the main quake, and this morning there was a 1.4 aftershock.

On Wednesday morning Oct. 19 Elaine and I went fishing at Lake Tahoe for Mackinaw lake trout with our longtime good friend and sport fishing guide, Gene St. Denis of Blue Ribbon Charters outfitted South Lake Tahoe, Calif.
“Gino” has fished Tahoe for some thirty years (the last 13 years as a fishing guide) and is one of the top, if not the top, guides at that lake.
Here is the fishing report for the week of Oct. 26 to Nov. 2. This report covers rivers, streams and lakes in Nevada, the Sierra, Northern California and Southern Oregon.
On Saturday, Oct. 1, four of us (Bob and Lorraine Scholes of Dayton, Nev. and Elaine and I had the opportunity to visit a small vineyard called Corte de Valle in the Tuscany Region of Northern Italy.
It is one of a number of Bed & Breakfast vineyards (large and small) that are located along the Chianti Road between Siena and Florence.
We saw their small sign as we drove past, and on the spur of the moment, decided to turn around and visit there. It was a great decision.
After two days of hunting hard and missing some shots at two other nice mule deer bucks (big 4x4’s), Wyatt Law of Carson City got this 3x2 at a distance of 400 yards just minutes before shooting time was over. His dad (Kevin Law) said Wyatt did great and he couldn’t be prouder of him! Wyatt is already looking forward to hopefully getting his first buck with his bow next year. — Photo courtesy of:Kevin Law
