Connie and I decided to get above the valley heat (103 F degrees) this past weekend and spend some time in the Lake Tahoe area. Oddly enough, two of the large local ski areas were open for business!!

We started Sunday at Squaw Valley resort, home of the 1960 Winter Olympics.









We enjoyed lunch in the village there, and attended a small arts and crafts fair, that I failed to get pictures of

Next we went into Tahoe City and walked around the small dam at the end of Lake Tahoe. This is a favorite spot for viewing some of the large fish that inhabit the waters of the lake.



I believe these are Kokanee Salmon that are known to bend a few rods here each year!





Here is one of Connie "The fish wrangler"



More to Come!!
