Rachel Lightner


a little about Rachel Lightner



Growing up in southern Oregon, I found a comfort in tall trees and big mountains, 
so I made the move to Lake Tahoe to pursue my passion for Journalism & Outdoor Leadership at Sierra Nevada College.

All things outside.
Snowboard. Climb. Skate. Surf. 
Explore.

I sat up noiselessly, in a useless perfection of silence, as if Madden were already lying in wait for me. Something--perhaps the mere vain ostentation of proving my resources were nil--made me look through my pockets. I found what I knew I would find. The American watch, the nickel chain and the square coin, the key ring with the incriminating useless keys to Runeberg's apartment, the notebook, a letter which I resolved to destroy immediately ...
