We visited the Lake Tahoe area this summer for the second time, the previous visit being in 2008. \u00c2\u00a0This is simply the most beautiful lake I have had the pleasure of seeing.<\/p>\n

Here are some facts about Lake Tahoe: \u00c2\u00a0http:\/\/tahoe.usgs.gov\/facts.html<\/a><\/p>\n

The lake lies astride the border between California and Nevada. \u00c2\u00a0We stayed in South Lake Tahoe, California, a community that could be described as “rustic” or “funky.” \u00c2\u00a0The residential areas on the north end of the lake are more upscale and not as desirable from my point of view.<\/p>\n

Coming from the eat coast, there are two ways to get to Tahoe, through Reno or through Sacramento. \u00c2\u00a0This time we flew to Sacramento and drove from there, a long 2 hour drive.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Sacramento<\/p>\n

This masterpiece is the center piece of the Sacramento airport. \u00c2\u00a0Not sure what it represents, but there it is. \u00c2\u00a0I recommend that if you want to visit Lake Tahoe, fly through Reno, a much shorter drive than Sacramento.<\/p>\n

One good way to see a lot of the lake and terrain is to take a boat tour of the lake. \u00c2\u00a0You get a different perspective from driving around the lake, which is a very pretty drive. \u00c2\u00a0A few shots from the boat ride.<\/p>\n

\"South<\/p>\n

As you can see, it is a scenic delight. \u00c2\u00a0I’ll share more pictures in my next post. \u00c2\u00a0Also, to come some shots from a ghost mining town, Bodie, California.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
