Driving to South Lake Tahoe from Reno, this was our very first glimpse of the lake. It's almost indescribable! It's 22 miles long, 12 miles wide and over 1000' deep. The color is the most brilliant shade of blue, except for a small part of the shoreline, which is called Emerald Bay - the water the color of emeralds! Breath-taking!
There was still snow on tops of the Sierra Nevada Mountains!
Can you tell we are loving it?! Think it was about 75 degrees this day!
Larry and Elaine.
As we started back up the path to the road and our vehicle, a man was walking his dog, which began to bark rather excitedly. This is why!
The snake was very shiny and we thought had shed its skin. If you look at its middle, it's bulging, and near the bottom of its middle (which you probably can't tell from this photo) it was a little lumpy. We thought it was something it had eaten! Ooooh!
Our home for the week. Our timeshare at Marriott's Timber Lodge. Larry & Elaine also have a timeshare here. They go to ski around Thanksgiving with all of their children and grandchildren. It's a lovely place!
Timber Lodge is located at the base of Heavenly Mountain, just a block from the California-Nevada stateline. The building with the clock tower is for the Heavenly Mountain gondola, which we took later in the week. Wait until you see the views!
Rich and Larry "plugged in", relaxing after five days of driving and sightseeing.
We relaxed until Rick and Janet arrived from Southern California and Ken Shannon arrived from their RV home at a local state park. We were so excited to be with all of these dear friends. We all met in 1968-1970 at our little church in Southern California. As I've said, lots of water under the bridge of our history - some of it high, some of it low. All treasured memories! More about these couples later!
Loving your trip! You have the loveliest timeshares!
