We spent a nice day driving the circumference of Lake Tahoe. We had a nice hike along the lake shore in a state park. We visited the Squaw Valley Ski Resort, home of the 1960 Winter Olympics, only a few of you will remember that, and watched the hundreds of people floating down the Truckee River, the only outlet of Lake Tahoe. Did you know that Lake Tahoe geologically is a basin like all of the others we have been crossing? It has no outlet to the Pacific. It just happened to fill up with water. Tomorrow will be a short ride day as we slow down the pace. We will then be going to visit Yosemite Park since neither one of us has ever been there. Since we will likely camp, the next post may be delayed for a couple of days. But stay with us our faithful readers since you won't want to miss the exciting conclusion of the ride as we cross California starting later in the week.
Sounds like you had a good day. I hope you don't have trouble getting a camping spot in or near Yosemite.
