So. Lake Tahoe, Ca

The temperatures and ambiance of south shore Tahoe seemed to call us back so we returned to large weekend crowds and plenty of traffic. We settled into a fine spot at Fallen Leaf campground where we parked amid pines, cedars, manzanita, stellar jays, and ground squirrels. We spent a couple of days exploring the area on the western side of the lake doing some biking, hiking, and geocaching. We even found time for a couple of yard sales and people keep asking why we have snow skis on the back of the van. I think they will be nice out in the yard. I didn't expect them to be a conversation piece so soon.

Then we managed to obtain a spot in the Nevada Beach campground just across the Nevada border for four days. At night we listen to owls and coyotes and yet we are one mile from the hustle and bustle of Stateside, Nv. While back in Tahoe we of course have revisited the buffet but have spent more time just relaxing. After all when we leave here we expect to drive more than 60 miles in a day. We are camped on the south shore and have a beautiful view of the sun setting across the lake. I guess it is time for the sun to set on our visit to California also. We will laugh at the Smothers Brothers at Harrah's on the 17th and then cross Nevada the next day. More photos.
