Cedar Inn Lake Tahoe

... within the landscape of rock and towering pine trees as opposed to on top of it. We ate delicious burgers from a local joint that offered a plate of fries rightfully named "The mess", an enormous pile of chili and cheese covered fries topped with onions that nearly broke through the plate it was served on. After much digesting we even found a sweet spot to go sledding, leaving the hill with wet, snow soaked pants and frozen fingers, so worth it though.

Lake Tahoe, Nevada, United States outbound5

... wait till we had a few slides until I got wet and cold installing the cables, but after 1 hr 45 mins we arrived without the need.
We drove to Nash and Jen and met Nash's Mom and Dad who were also there for a few days.
Nash drove us 1/2 way around the Lake where we stopped for a couple of picture opportunities along the way. We headed over to a restaurant called "Sunnyside" which ended up being closed until 16:00. We grabbed a few more shots and also seen 6 ...

... alone. It was an uneventful last drive although very beautiful because it was through the mountains. With the sun glaring in my eyes, heading due west I reached the house exhausted and burnt out of driving.
Our trip had lasted a longer than planned, but none of it (except that big mac) was regrettable. I got to see huge portions of the US and visit some friends and family I wouldn't have had occasion to see otherwise. Now its on the the next adventure.

... Lake was a beautiful lake and we got house envy looking at the log and cedar sided homes along here. (Hmmm…maybe we should’ve tried to hit the jackpot at Harrah’s???)

Autumn here was beautiful but the most beautiful sight of all was the most spectacular sunset on our trip, which you'll see in the photos. No color enhancement with these pix - the colors were that intense.

Next stop…Yosemite National Park.

hi all, well, woke up to a rainy cold day and it didn't get any better. cold wet and windy with a temp not above 11 degrees. sound familiar lorraine and jim? the predicted snow up in the tioga pass was a reality so off we went via sacramento. ok.....quiz for you all .we went through some towns that have a musical theme. who were the artists that folsom, jackson, eldorado and lido are linked with? no cheating ...

... for a-hootin, and a-hollerin'

Oh, and beads.

Please excuse me for not posting some of the more interesting pictures from today's little jaunt, since I'm not sure what this site's policy is on, well, interesting pictures.

Besides, once you've seen one pair... you wanna see them all. Am I wrong? (That's what Google is for.)

... homes. On the way back down we stopped off at Inspiration Point overlooking Emerald Bay. It looked like a nice area with a few trails. When we got back to the hotel I did a bit of research on hikes and we decided to head to DL Bliss Park and do the Rubicon Trail which follows along the lake to Emerald Bay / Vikingsholm.

We packed our lunch and swimming gear and off we set the following day. It was a really great hike and most of the way you had views of ...

After Burning Man, we all needed some time to ourselves and some decompression. I joined two wonderful ladies I met at BM, Gwen and Liz, and we hit a hot spring just north of the lake. The Playa of Black Rock City sucks all the moisture out of everything, including you. You get what they call playa hair and skin, where every part of you ...

... We¡¯d then go to the pier down the hill, for our first jump in the lake. To say the lake is cold is an understatement. But, it defiantly woke you up!!! Getting used to not having to ¡°Do¡± something, came very easy for me. I¡¯d look at Angel and say¡¦¡±What should we do now¡¦Buddy?¡± I¡¯d put him in the basket, wait for a direction, and off we¡¯d go. I¡¯ll always cherish those days in Lake Tahoe ! Angel was the ...

... motion whenever they need to re-adjust themselves in their seat. A tapper usually combines this annoying habit with frequent bumps and kicks into the back of your seat while they rearrange themselves or get an item from the holding net behind the seat. We headed down to Venice Beach and stayed at a hostal there while we decided what we were going to do now since both plans seemed to be out of the question. There were no double rooms available so in we went to the dorm room where ...
