Lake Tahoe, NV/CA
Good morning from Tahoe!! Up at 6:45am MT & it's another gorgeous day here on the lake. We are getting ready to go out in the Jeep and will be riding the entire perimeter of the lake (which will take pretty much all day).
Not to worry folks, I am prepared with all the essentials a gal should need (see the picture for proof positive). Let's see ~ there's the lip gloss & mirror, pink Swiss Army knife, lighter, LL Bean carabeaner with compass & thermometer combo, ink pen, cell phone, and of course, my everyday White House/Black Market purse, wallet......................I'm good to go!! Of course, there are a few other "minor" things as well (like the camera, an emergency kit & a map).
Nick will be joining us for the ride today (I wonder what goes on in his sweet little head). It will be scenic as always. Will share details & hopefully pix later.
Have a great Tuesday wherever you are or whatever time zone you are in.

P. S. I am still in search of "Tahoe Tessie"; been doing it for years. Have my camera just in case.
7:30pm MT
We are getting ready to sit down & have supper (see the picture & eat your heart out)!! Steak, salad, mac & cheese & a bottle of Robert Mondovi 2005 Reserve Cabernet. Yep, you can camp & have it all, too! Brad & Mere ~ I have 2 cool NCSU serving platters in your honor. Chase ~ sorry but I couldn't find an ASU platters.
We did our tour of the lake earlier & it's still as wonderful as ever. Bummer, wish we could be here in a month from now; the lake (like a lot of the other high elevation areas we've traveled so far) is still "waking up" from the winter. The trees are budding & other greenery is emerging. There are still patches of snow hiding in shady spots & on most of the slope tops.
We rode through various residential areas. Definitely (in my unsolicited opinion which I am going to impose on you regardless), the address to aspire for is Lakeshore Drive in Incline Village (the northern shore of the lake). There are some mansions there that go on & on (the gorgeous meter was off the charts)!! I kept waiting for a sympathetic "neon sign" to flash an invitation for Chip, Cathy & Nick to "come in, sit a spell, have a cocktail & take a long, luxurious shower". But, it just didn't happen ~ whine, whine. NOTE: Whenever riding through a lot of areas/cities across the country over the years, when the road is named "Lakeshore", that's usually a signal that the real estate is gonna' be impressive (sort of like Lakeshore Drive, Badin Lake in New London, NC ~ call Badin Lake Realty 336.461.5634 for your private showings).
Another area worthy of mention is the Tahoe City area (the western shore); gorgeous real estate & lots to do ~ retail, outdoor adventure & restaurants. Not to be misunderstood, there is no shabby address here on the lake & there are SO many parks & points of interest all around the lake. This place is a must visit when planning your future travels (winter or summer). You know, it's really sad to see the slopes "naked". Now, the attention is reverting to water activities, hiking & sightseeing.
