Relax / North Lake Tahoe

Thursday was a relax day for us.  We have been on the go trying to see everything before we leave different locations.  This stop we have time to relax and not run all over the country.  Cindy went to the swimming pool at the RV park and ordered me to take the mule and get it washed and cleaned up for when we leave here.  I was able to get it hand washed in Reno right downtown.  What fun.  Afterwards, I joined Cindy at the swimming pool for fun in the sun.

On Friday we went back to Lake Tahoe and traveled around the north end of the Lake.  We went to Tahoe Vista, Kings Beach, Crystal Bay and Spooner Lake.  At Spooner Lake we decided to have a pinic lunch.  Had to pay $10 just to park which sucked.  We had a good lunch and then traveled to the South Lake Tahoe area passing Zephyr Cove along the way.  This are of Lake Tahoe is even more crowed that the west and south side of the lake.  Also the scenery is not as good in my opinion. but since we were here we needed to see all of it and we have accomplished that task.  We came back out a different way using Hwy 50 to Carson City and then to Reno and home.  Hwy 50 is very scenic and it is high up in elevation so it was a downhill ride all the way to Carson City.   Cindy really like those kinds of trips!! Ha!  She is afraid of heights if you didn't know.  It was a good day and here are the photos we took.

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...
