31 December 2013 ~ Lake Tahoe

Listening to: The Allman Brothers Band ~ Old Friend


Between the holidays I went to Lake Tahoe, staying in Tahoe Vista.

Lake Tahoe is the second deepest lake in the United States and the tenth deepest in the world, with a maximum depth measured at 1,645 feet.

The pine cones grow very large here.

Lake Tahoe has a water clarity of about 70 feet. Even from the coast line it is easy to the beautiful blue and turquoise colors.

I stopped for lunch at Zephyr Cove Lodge Restaurant and ordered Bloody Mary and a Crispy Chicken Sandwich topped with cole slaw.

Lake Tahoe is about 22 miles long and l2 miles wide. I drove around the 72 miles of shoreline in about 3 hours, including stops for photos and lunch.

There has not been a lot of snow fall. The skiers are not happy.
