Kayaking on Tahoe and Sun and Fun on the Beach

Yesterday, Monday, June 26, 2017 we went to Lake Tahoe for the last time.  We or I should say Cindy saw a beach at Sand Harbor which is on the east side of the lake. She wanted to go back there after the crowds had left (We saw the beach on the weekend).  Little did she know the crowds were there to stay.  But, She had a strategy and that was to get up early and head to the beach and get there before anyone else and stake out our ground!!  Well, that worked for about an hour and then here they came and they did not care if they walked on your stuff or got sand on you as long as they could get to the water.  I hate beaches!

We carried the kayak and took turns going into the lake to paddle around and enjoy the warm sun and cool water.  The beach there was made of coarse sand and it was not white and soft as the Gulf Shores or Orange Beach area.  If you do not know where that is please forget I mentioned either one, because I hate crowds!!

We ate lunch there and laid in the sun for about 5 hours.  That was my limit but I was not about to say anything to Cindy because this was her day.  But my heart was jumping with joy when she finally had enough and we left.

Shoshone Ice Caves

On August 14th,  we went to the Shoshone Indian Ice Caves.  They were made from the lava tunnels and is the largest Lava Ice Cave known, created millions of years ago.  It descends 90 feet under the lava.  It is three blocks long and 30 feet wide and 40 feet high.  It holds over 20,000 tons of ice and is 1,000 feet long. T he temperatures inside vary from 28 to 33 degrees. The Ice Cave was discovered in the 1900's by a little boy looking for a lost goat.  He noticed that the ground was cool where the opening was and explored it further and found the ice covering the entire cave.  He told his family and they came to see the cave for themselves.  Then the government found out about the ice.  They sold the ice to the town people.  The government wanted to make more ice so they blew out the back wall of the cave to get more room.  This caused a change in the condensation of the air and the ice started to melt.  The air flow ...

Kayaking the Snake River

On Sunday August 13, 2017 we kayaked the Snake River.  They have a public ramp set up for kayaks to enter the river and it was easy to get the kayaks into the river and out of it.  We rented Bobby and Cindy a kayak so we did not have to take the big rubber duck kayak with us.  The river was not very hard to paddle although there was some wind that came up and it effected the return trip.  We kayaked to the Perrine Bridge and watched a few jumpers parachute from the bridge.  Apparently there is always a lot of people on the river in kayaks because they have you travel as though you were in a car.  Right side going down and left side coming back up the river.  They do this so the other boats have a place to travel back and forth without running over the kayakers.  If you do not follow these rules the Sheriff's department will issue you a ticket which cost about $86 dollars.  There is also a little know law that says you must have a no...
