Pics from my vacation

[Pipe_Dream]

A few of the 200-plus pics I took.

We flew into Reno, Nevada.

View from our room at Harrah's in Reno


Southern Reno valley, dry as a bone


Fortunately we were headed for . . .

Lake Tahoe!
This is Zephyr Cove


Lake Tahoe from Heavenly Ski Resort


Emerald Bay


D.L. Bliss State Park - sure wish we had the PD there ;)


Fallen Leaf Lake, just S of Lake Tahoe, great place to swim the dogs, if only they had been with us :'(


Merced River in Yosemite


El Capitan and Half Dome


Half Dome


We fell in love with the Lake Tahoe area. My wife can't stop talking about it -- she's never reacted the same to any other place we've gone. The lakes are all very clear, there are beautiful mountains everywhere, Ponderosa Pines, so much to do and I barely broke a sweat because it's much drier than here in the South. I can definitely see why so many want to live there. And of course on the NV side there are casinos. ;)

We really didn't want to. *We're both transplants -- although long time residents now -- of South Carolina, and while we do love it here we both agreed that we could easily live around or near Lake Tahoe. *There are so many forms of recreation -- hiking, biking, swimming, fishing, boating, 4-wheeling, horseback riding, climbing -- and I never broke a sweat on the entire trip! *And the skiing is supposed to be fantastic. *Of course real estate is priced accordingly . . . *:P *but it had virtually everything we could want: mountains, lakes, and everyone was very laid back and friendly. *We will definitely go there again.
