Lake Tahoe. It is sunny and 48.
Monday mornings are very quiet here too. It is weekend time in this
area right now - between the hot summer retreats and the skiiers.
Yesterday was really great in Virginia City. There is a lot of
history there with Comstock Lode mining and all. Incredible money
came out of that town in the 1870s. there were 40,000 people then -
now it looks like about 2000 live there. The desert air has kept some
of the buildings in great shape - most of the other were torn down
for firewood.
Some of the saloons in Virginia City have small casinos in them.
Lulu walked by, dropped a dollar bill, won ten, cashed out and
continued shopping. She bought something special.
Then we drove through Carson City - by the Capitol - and oven the
mountain to Lake Tahoe. Lake Tahoe is 22 miles long - about 12 miles
wide. It is about 6200 feet above sea leavel - 800 feet above Reno.
The water form this lake flows thru Reno in the Truckee River.
It's supposed to take between 4 and 5 hours to drive around the
lake. It should be a nice day in our van with heated seats.
