Oops--I got this entry out of order. It actually took place before San Francisco. The first picture is a family joke. It is Muddy Gap, WY and it is inserted just for my parents and brothers!
Our highlights for this day were certainly our boat tour of Lake Tahoe (featuring 80's music in between the tour guide audio!) and our trail ride to an overview of Lake Tahoe. Mackenzie says this is “the best day so far.” We are confident that that has everything to do with the trail ride!
Our Notables section today features some interesting facts about Lake Tahoe:
* Lake Tahoe is often referred to as "America's All Year Playground."
* Tahoe is generally believed to have come from a Washo Indian word meaning "Big Water" or "Big Blue."
* Lake Tahoe is the largest alpine lake in North America. The water level is above 6,200' in elevation. Its maximum depth is 1,645 feet and the average depth is 989 feet.
* Tahoe's water is so clear that a white dinner plate can be seen 75 feet below the water surface.
