Does it ever end?


Yes it does ,and it looks like this…
 
Highway 50 in Nevada, ends on the west side of the state at Lake Tahoe; oh what a beautiful sight! So beautiful, that I hung out at Lake Forest Campground in Tahoe City for three nights. Well, the campground was nothing special; however, it was a quaint little spot with great neighbors and a short walk to a beautiful view of the lake…refreshing, revitalizing, and rejuvenating.  The reward for driving 408 miles on the Loneliest Road!


Chair in place, book in hand!


Ahh, the lake!
 
Ribeye and veges on the grill!
 
Alllmmoost full!
The Venzaliner Journey has been filled with newfound friends and Tahoe City added four: Cookie, Wes, Richard & Hoy. 
Cookie, my neighbor from Hawaii who is a part-time resident of the campground, was gracious enough to share happenings in the area. The best one, where to get a shower…”take your quarters, park at the Post Office and walk into the State Park; they have great showers”…and that they do!

Wes, my neighbor originally from PA, coaches the Alpine Meadows Snowboard Team and works for the City.  He suggested an awesome drive up Blackwood Canyon to hike on Barber Peak toward Twin Peaks along the Pacific Coastal Trail. Oh what beautiful vistas! Yes, I am blessed!!

Fellow campers, Richard (a technical writer from Boise) and Hoy (a tango instructor from California) inspired thoughts on quantum physics and woo woo…not sure how to spell that, but it gave way to a few fun evening campfire conversations!

The end of highway 50 in Nevada was awesome; however, the road definitely doesn’t end here. It’s time to journey on and I leave you with a drive-by of Emerald Bay and this thought…
