Wednesday the 10th of May, I left my brothers house and headed for Lake Tahoe. First I took some pixs of his new baby…a Toyota Prius hybrid. I got to drive it for 2 days and it’s a blast. I was getting 37.6 MPG. There is a LCD color display that shows you the milage you’re getting or you can switch it to a GPS map. This little engine keeps the battery charged.
Monday morning I left for Sacramento and on to Tahoe, here’s a shot of the desert near Rosamond as I turned onto highway 99:
And further North on 99. Those are wind power generators up there on the hill:
I picked up TJ at the Sacramento airport. She wanted to come up to Tahoe for a few days. Her suitcase is huge. Takes up half the space in the RV:
About half the way up to Tahoe you start following ‘The American River’. Very cool:
We stopped near a little park. The temp was near 75F:
Then around 10 miles up the road we ran into this:
Here’s a shot of TJ’s butt:
TJ strikes a pose (not my doing, I didn’t put her up to it):
Our first view of the lake from US50:
There’s still a bunch of snow, we’re at around 5500 feet here:
I thought this pond was pretty neat:
An hour later and here we are:
