Pics from my vacation

[Pipe_Dream]

A few of the 200-plus pics I took.

We flew into Reno, Nevada.

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. ;)
