Driving up to check out Lake Tahoe on Saturday.
First stop of the day and testing out the timer function on the camera.
Not happy……..my ears and hands were froze but I still managed to smile. An awsome view of Lake Tahoe in the background though.
Standing on Lake Tahoe. Lake Tahoe looks like the lake that the Loch Ness monster lives in.
A castle that would very expensive to heat in the winter. Sota like the Tosa’ tear down I lived in this fall.

This past Sunday Ashley and I went and checked out Lake Tahoe. I had never actually seen the lake before and I was even more excited to go and check it out since they got a bunch of fresh new snow up there the day before. It was fun to play around in the snow for a bit and bust out the winter jacket but I was happy to come back down the mountain to where it was warm.

It is pretty amazing how much snow the Lake Tahoe area gets and that it never snows in Sacramento! It makes me feel sorta bad for the Donner people. If my history is correct………..they were making a trip across the country and got stranded in the Sierra’s, around the lake Tahoe area, during winter and ate each other to survive. They were soo close to the warmth…………that is all they had to do was roll or sled down the mountain and they would not have had to eat each other. Crazy……….but I guess they did not know.

Anyway, Karl and I made our second attempt to ride our bikes to Davis today. If you remember last time Karl was the ride leader and we were suppose to go to Davis but ended up in a field getting sprayed by pesticides.

I was the ride leader this time around and guess what? We made it to Davis! It ended up being a pretty stressful ride though becuase we could not find a coffee shop in Davis that had outdoor seating in the sun. It was frustrating to have to sit inside but we managed.

I also wanted to mention that I in my “Sausalito” post I made a mistake. Adam Switters brought to my attention that Health Net did not win all of the primes at the Sausalito Crit but in fact he had won a fifty dollar prime. Seriously, I am sorry about that and I appreciate it when people catch my mistakes. Thanks Adam…………do you live in Folsom by the way?

Time to watch the Tour of California on tv……………….

later,
