OK, I need to wrap this up. Here goes.
My last post ended on the first full day all of us made it to South Lake Tahoe (SLT).
So, here are some more photos!
First up, I got up early Tuesday and went with Jay and Bob the Dog to the dog beach for a little walk. It was a beautiful morning!
Then back to the hotel to clean up. Went for a walk and saw this:
Then off on a little roadtrip to Fallen Leaf Lake and some places on the way.
These views are from a ridge we drove over on the way. I didn’t even realize it was a ridge until we drove back over it on the way home. It was a little intimidating having drop offs on both sides and no railing!
Kenn wanted to see what everybody else was looking at!
Next we made a stop at Angora Lakes. It’s a cool place. They have cottages you can stay in, and a cute little general store. Very peaceful! We had a little picnic there.
The big grey rock in the middle – lots of people try jumping off of it into the lake. The sign below this photo shows some of the consequences of doing that
And here are some photos of Fallen Leaf Lake. It was an epic drive to get there. Single lane road but with two-way traffic. Somebody was always having to pull over to let somebody else through.
The next day was supposed to be very windy so thoughts of doing a big hike were put on hold. Jay, Carolyn, Bob and I went to check out the Rainbow Trail at the Taylor Creek Visitor Center:

And then we hiked over to the Tallac Historic Site. It was pretty cool!

Check out this cool sink! Look at the divider!
Next day Caroline and I went to visit the Vikingsholm. You have to park up by the road and hike about a mile down. Keep in mind we were at altitude. The walk down was easy. The walk up wasn’t real hard, but it wasn’t trivial!

Here are my photos. First up are photos I took during the hike down.

This is Selma the clock lady
After the house tour we hiked along the edge of Emerald Bay for a bit
This is the boat we had lunch on earlier in the week! (I think I might have posted this already – sorry!)
This is another road on a ridge – another nailbiter!
Next day was a day at the Spa at David Walley’s resort

We had a great day and then we had to leave the next day.
I drove back to the bay area – passed a wind farm
For the past couple years I was wondering why I always had to walk such a long way to get my bags, and why the terminal I flew out of was so small. Now I found out – SFO had been working on a mega-redo of the terminal and now it’s open!
Kenn bids a fond farewell to SF!
Not sure where this was …
This was New Jersey, approaching PHL
So, that was my last trip. I’m looking into the next one now! Not sure what will be next – I found a bunch of options!
I guess you’ll have to get used to reading some ‘Random Stuff’ posts for a while :-). Until then!
