The Idiot has been co-hosting a ‘70 @ 75 party with 120 Stanford classmates (we graduated in 1970 and turned 75 this year) on Fallen Leaf Lake in California’s Sierra Nevada mountains.
Here’s what you missed by not being at the Stanford Sierra Camp, within spitting distance of Lake Tahoe, this week.
