INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. – There is much in the Incline Village region that reminds Madonna Dunbar of the serendipity that’s brought her to where she’s at now as the Resource Conservationist at Incline Village Improvement District Waste Not Programs and Executive Director of Tahoe Water Suppliers Association.
“I think of that when I pull into work,” she says, explaining the first night she slept in Incline Village was just one turn from her current office about 500 yards away.
It all started in August 1998 while traveling the country in a bus with her husband, Pablo (Tenzin) Ortega, stopping at national parks and doing seasonal work.
