Day Trip to Tahoe

When you are in Reno, it is about an hour to get to Tahoe, so OF COURSE, had to drive down today!   What a lovely day too!   It was to be near 90 again in Reno, so when I got into the mountains and was only 67, I was LOVING it.   It did get to 72 and even 77 on the East side of the lake.   Emerald Bay was really nice.

I had visited Lake Tahoe years ago, and had only been to South Lake Tahoe and the furthest north city.   Today, I drove the entire loop around the lake.  Still get nervous driving on a skinny road with no guard rails and serious drop-offs!   There were a few.   The hairpin turns, no biggie!

Walked through South Lake Tahoe, but stopped for lunch in the area at Carnelian Bay at a restaurant with a deck overlooking the lake.  It was fabulous!

A couple areas on the East side are under construction with one lane open, and taking a while to get through.   No biggie, wasn't in a hurry!

Sounds like a fun and beautiful trip Joan Cox  - those photos are wonderful.

I've only been to Tahoe one but we were very impressed - truly beautiful.

Have a great weekend!

Lake Tahoe is very pretty, and you can find a spot to stand in two states at the same time.

Hi Joan- what a beautiful day you had!!! I have to hand it to you for driving those narrow roads!!!! We did that once when we were in CO and went across the Royal Gorge Bridge and some of the surrounding narrow roads. NEVER AGAIN!!!!

Hello Joan.  My last place I lived before moving to North Idaho was Lake Tahoe area.  It took a special area to enable me to pull up anchor from the Lake Tahoe area.  I am glad you were able to enjoy the day there.  m

Katina Hargrove 352-551-0308 I stopped for lunch on the deck overlooking the lake, so THINK it was about an hour and a half all total.  Not bad.  Traffic wasn't that bad, but my friend says Friday, Saturday and Sunday are nuts.  So went on Thursday.

Kathy Streib have to say, there was one place I had trouble with my fear of heights.  It was a skinny road on top of the mountains, just two lanes, and NO guard rails.   Was happy when I got off the top.

Mark, this is a beautiful place to live.  I was going to look at the housing prices, and you just reminded me.

Jeff, have to say, only been in one casino, and lost $20 in about 20 minutes.   Not really a gambler, would rather drop a $100 on a really nice dinner with really good wine.  LOL
