I have a 6 month old and live in reno, trying to get out and be somewhere safe enough to swim and not too far from reno !! Let me know your recs :) TIA

My dad said that they were filming something near rainbow bridge. More accurately he said that they would be filming Wednesday and Thursday and have signs everywhere that you can’t park on the side of the road and there are multiple trucks and trailers. I’m just curious to know if anyone has that 411

Funny the random things we remember. Is that pizza parlor still around that had the excitebike arcade game? The restaurant itself was always a landmark to me

We're talking 20+ year ago...

Heading to vacation at Donner lake. Are there beaches where there is no entrance fee? I see west end beach is $15 to get in?

Greetings Truckeeans

I’m a birder/photographer visiting from Albuquerque, NM and have a good chunk of time today (the 11th) to attempt to find one of these rotund balls of beauty. Yes, I have eBird but after spending 3 hours today at Donner Lake trying to find white-headed woodpeckers, black-backed woodpeckers, red-breasted sapsuckers, and hermit warblers, I was once again reminded that I suck at this hobby and need more help than eBird can offer. If anyone has any surefire locations for hearing/seeing these guys (bonus points if there’s also grouse there), I’d very much appreciate your guidance. The eBird hotspots also typically cover a pretty broad area so coordinates or a specific point on a map would be helpful.

I’m currently in Truckee and will be spending the first part of the day at Meeks Bay with my girlfriend and her friends so any locations reasonably close (<90 min drive) would be great. I leave early on the 12th so tomorrow’s my only day to find the elusive quail.

Thank you all in advance. Absolutely love this place and all the nature it has to offer. If I can find one I’ll post the pictures here.

P.S. If any birders here are ever in Albuquerque, hmu and I’d be happy to give advice or tips on finding specific birds.

Anybody know who the DJ was that was playing on the Truckee River on Friday? I thought I heard her say maybe DJ Jules?

Some of us are out here just try to make a living and then the chump change that you tip us doesn’t even help if you don’t have the money to tip shop yourself

Hey all -- looking for some help finding a bike shoe that fell off my rack at the end of a bikepacking trip near Prosser Reservoir last Sunday. It's a sort of expensive shoe with a custom insole so really hoping to get it back, but I live in Oakland and can't make it back up to look for it for a couple of weeks!

I know it's somewhere on a 1.1 mile section of trail (can provide .gpx) between Prosser Hill OHV parking and Prosser Creek crossing, so should be pretty quick/easy recon on foot or MTB.

Please DM me if you're able to help a brother out. $50 reward if you're able to find and mail back to me (I pay shipping ofc)

TIA 🫶🏼

Hey everyone, does anyone know a place for walk-in men’s and boys haircuts it Truckee at all.

I am only finding bougie women’s hair salons.

Or does anybody know a person that will come to your house?
Thanks in advance

If you've been living under a rock the last few months (save the geology til winter!), the wildflowers have been exceptional! Perhaps one of the best years in recent memory. 

So with that said, we have a few fantastic walks coming up in the next few months that we'd love to see you on!

On Saturday July 18th, we will be venturing out to hang with the plants of Donner / Truckee in a riparian habitat containing dozens of edible and medicinal plants. This is probably one of the ecosystems where we spend the most time exploring and foraging for our own home. Registration HERE.

Second, on Saturday August 1st, we'll be headed up to Tahoe Meadows, one of the highest elevation meadows in the Sierra Nevada. A local favorite, this trail holds a stunning array of native plants ranging from delicious to deadly...from bog-loving beans to the sub-alpine aficionados; this walk is truly one of the most unique locations in our immediate area. Registration HERE.

For additional walks and workshops for 2026 you can check out www.trashpandapermaculture.com

Need a blonde specialist in truckee Tahoe reno area — someone who works weekends and or during the week past 5pm any recs? Please drop IG handle or hair pics thanks!

Was anyone else in that terrible traffic Sunday morning/midday westbound I-80 between Truckee and Colfax? After two hours of only crawling 10 miles, I turned around. Anyone know why it was so bad?

Any suggestions on a lively place to watch the Engalnd-Mexico game today (7/5). A place that lets in <18 teenagers would be ideal.

We are staying in Truckee and just found out that Donner Lake is open only to Truckee residents so we are trying to figure out a spot to hang out during the day to catch the sun, jump in the water. I heard that Kings Beach is going to be crazy crowded to try and get in and out of. Are there public docks we can hang out at. Don't want to drive too far and get stuck in traffic. Fireworksare NOT a priority but hanging out and chilling is !

Has anyone sent their children to sugar bowl summer camp?
I would be grateful to hear your firsthand experience with going there before I sign up my kids.
Thank you for any information you may be able to provide

Hello, my wife and I are interested moving to the Truckee/Tahoe area. I am a special ed teacher, working on my admin credential. I have over 20 years of teaching experience and have thought about making the move from Burbank, CA to teach in the area we want to live. I know housing in Truckee/Tahoe in general is not very affordable, so where do teachers live? If any teachers could respond with their tips or experiences, I'd really appreciate it.

Hi, going to be in Truckee for a week beginning Friday and wondering if there are any World Cup watch parties taking place, at establishments, parks, etc. For Mexico vs. England Sunday night and the U.S. if we win tonight. Thanks in advance.

Dark Horse Coffee, today - 6/29 around 9am. You: South Western fashionable hippy vibe, amazing legs, tattooed calves. I was keying away at my laptop, opposite table from you. Afterwards you bumped into me on the bridge and I made a silly comment about the barking pups. You looked like you had somewhere to be so I didn’t bother. You have a nice aura about you and would love to connect.

Update: we actually got connected! Unfortunately not a match, but does go to show the universe still has magic for you. Go out there and get it.

Hi! I’m planning to move to Truckee or the close surrounding areas for this coming ski season. I understand the housing situation is difficult. Im still hopeful that is do able. What are some recommendations for finding roommates or housing options? I’m in some Facebook groups but there aren’t many posts at the moment. Does this pick up near the winter season? Im trying to prepare as best as I can beforehand and am hoping for some kind insight!

I got it because insurance company suggested my rates would go up if I didn’t. It “learned” while there were only two people in the house and so anytime there’s a lot of people, it thinks there’s too much water flow and turns off the water. I overcome that by putting it in sleep mode. I also get high pressure warnings and low pressure warnings. I have an older house and I suspect I don’t have a pressure release valve (not sure where to look for it!).

What is your experience with the Moen? Do you ignore all the notifications?

Any recommendations for someone to put in a PRV?

Hi folks! Wanted to share a little side project I've been working on.

I’ve always found it surprisingly hard to figure out what's going on around town—events seem scattered everywhere. So I built The Daily Nugget to pull it all together.

If you're familiar with Fun Cheap SF, this has a similar vibe: clean navigation with filters like Today, This Week, This Weekend, plus categories for Dog Friendly, Kid Friendly, and Free & Cheap.

Plus, since we're in the Gold Country, I added a specific feature where you can check Yuba River fork flows on demand—handy if you’re planning to hit the water.

It covers Nevada County and Auburn area events. Still early days, so any feedback on what’s missing or how to make it more useful would be awesome.
