Well, it's kind of a ride...

Postby hemingray » Sun Aug 07, 2011 9:18 am

A generous friend offered a stay at Tahoe's west shore this weekend (and we had a wedding to go to as well), so the ATV lost out to some water cruising (the stay included using their boat!)

This is only the second time I have ever been out on the water at Tahoe - what a different dimension!

Image

Image

Image

Still an amazing amount of snow on the peaks.

Image

Emerald Bay is amazing.

Image

Eagle Falls is visible in the center. Highway 89 goes by above it.

Image

Image

Heading across the lake - what a view!

Image

Across the lake at Cave Rock, where the highway also tunnels through.

Image

If you've ever driven on the highway through the tunnels, you probably didn't notice there is an old road that went around the outside.

Image

Just up the shore is Al Tarina, owned by Essam Khashoggi - huge, with it's own little harbor and breakwater. Oh yeah - it's for sale - $29 million, supposedly. More here.

Image

The little "riverboats" are seen often.

Image

Image

You'd think after that Navy incident with the helicopters you might not see any of them around - but no.

Image

We're staying near the eastern end of the Rubicon - tough choice to not bring the ATV with me, but the water called. However, there was this fine vehicle reminding me how close the trail was... :-)

Image

Back to land cruising next week...

And I forgot to mention - all those bumper stickers are working, Tahoe is still blue!

Nice!
