It doesn&#8217;t sound right to say it but I don&#8217;t know what else to call it. It&#8217;s where his earthly remains are. It&#8217;s not his gravesite but it&#8217;s something like that.<\/p>\n<p>Three years ago, a group of us gathered there early on a July morning and distributed his ashes in and around Eagle Creek Falls above Emerald Bay. This year, Sepi and I had driven up to Grass Valley to catch Jeremy and his family at Tom&#8217;s house. That was a wonderful visit but I had to get back to work by Thursday. Jeremy was going on to Yosemite and we were going back to the Bay Area.<\/p>\n<p>I decided I wanted to go back through Lake Tahoe, though, to stop at this place and remember Zach. Sarah is gathering people at a campsite up there again as I write this so others will do as I did soon.<\/p>\n<p>It was early afternoon and the area was packed with people. We found a parking place quickly, though, and I decided that I would not go to the falls, where I had left my portion, but up the hill, where others had. Fewer folks up there.<\/p>\n<p>I took a few moments to think of that day and Zach, then took a quick panorama, then headed back down the hill. the less said about the drive home the better.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1443\" src=\"http:\/\/thezachproject.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_20190731_125214518-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/thezachproject.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_20190731_125214518-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/thezachproject.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_20190731_125214518-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/thezachproject.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_20190731_125214518-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1444\" src=\"http:\/\/thezachproject.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_20190731_125219652-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/thezachproject.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_20190731_125219652-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/thezachproject.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_20190731_125219652-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/thezachproject.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_20190731_125219652-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1445\" src=\"http:\/\/thezachproject.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_20190731_125224415-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/thezachproject.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_20190731_125224415-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/thezachproject.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_20190731_125224415-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/thezachproject.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_20190731_125224415-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1446\" src=\"http:\/\/thezachproject.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_20190731_125230208-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/thezachproject.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_20190731_125230208-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/thezachproject.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_20190731_125230208-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/thezachproject.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_20190731_125230208-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It sure is a beautiful spot, Zach!
