The Great Escape - 2011 - Part 6

We took the gondola up Heavenly Mountain. Midway up, you can get off and walk around the viewing platform. Then you get back on the gondola and go to the top to hike (or in winter, ski), or as in our case, have lunch. Glorious!

Views of the lake and mountains!

Such an interesting rock formation!

Rich and Janet can always find something to laugh about!

The next day we took a two-hour boat trip around the lake. The boat reportedly belonged to one of the "old" casinos - in it's heyday. I didn't go below deck, but those that did said it was magnificent. We all surmised that "if these walls could talk" would apply to this boat!

Someone called this shot, "Tahoe Babes". Hmmm, don't know about the one in the white sweat shirt!

Ken and Shannon, Larry and Elaine.

Rich and me, Rick and Janet.

Views of shoreline properties. Talk about beautiful - and $$$$$$$$!

This will give you a "feel" for the vastness of the lake. It is huge!

A bald eagle's nest.

What an amazing place to visit! The next day would be Rich's birthday. Come along for the party!
