I go up every year, for past 40 yrs. just love it. Go in Aug for HAN, I've read that this year they have had all time record snow fall. 40 feet in the mountains. That is great news for snow birds, and will help raise the lake's water level. Are my facts true Frank? I sure hope so, to keep the trees green and growing . I JUST LOVE TAHOE, if wife would go for it I'd move up to one of the most beautiful places on earth. And, I have traveled around the world. Please keep up your wonderful posts, I love em.
