Al Fresco Dining at Lake Tahoe  The food wasn't fancy, but the views were stunning, and the company was excellent (my wife) for this casual al fresco lunch a few years ago at Lake Tahoe. We spent several days at a house there, courtesy of a buyer client as a thank you. No reservations were needed and we were the only ones dining there at the time. 08/16/2017

Emerald Bay at South Lake Tahoe  We enjoyed several days at a cool little house in South Lake Tahoe back in 2011, our first and only visit thus far, courtesy of a wonderful Northern California client I had helped to buy an investment property earlier in the year. We enjoyed several days of hiking with gorgeous weather and this view was one of the more impressive. Time for another visit. 03/02/2017

I absolutely love flying the drone and creating videos and it seems that flying waterfalls has become a staple subject matter for me.In this short video, filmed in the Lake Tahoe area of California, we went hiking at Horsetail Falls. Horsetail Falls is a large waterfalls which is then followed by many smaller waterfalls and pools as the water travels down the mountain side. So much water travels down the mountain side that it has smoothed and polished the granite surfaces. It really is a site to see.Anyways.Hope you enjoy the video and please Subscribe or give it a Thumbs Up if you liked it. Cheers! 08/25/2016

Sharing the happenings in South Lake Tahoe is alwasy a pleasure when you can announce that two stand-alone greats come together as STING and Peter Gabriel and perform at Harvey's Outdoor Concert July 15th at 7pm.  Ticket's are SOLD OUT!  But, you feel the need to be as close as you can to these two iconic musicians, please join us at the "WALL OF SHAME". Just opposite the venue, on a local side street, you can see people gather with their camp chairs, cocktails and snacks just to hear to overflow music of Sting while they hold a memoric photo of the musician.  Not quite the same as being inside the Harvey's Outdoor Concert, but pretty darn awesome just the same.  South Lake Tahoe's concert series brings many hot and iconic musicians to the area for those to enjoy as they are away from t... 07/14/2016

  Clear Skies Here and Just An Hour To Many Of The Ski Slopes in the Sierras     One of the best things about living in the foothills of the Sierra Mountains is that we are close to the skiing without being in the snow. We live within an hour of many quality ski resorts in the Tahoe area, yet can drive home to clear roads. The recent storms have done wonders for the holiday ski resorts, making many of those in the area very happy!   Businesses and skiers both will be hitting the slopes this week.     12/22/2014
