Tahoe in June

So this weekend I was at Lake Tahoe with two business associated (founders of Ring-o-Rang).  We had a good time making minor fixes to the cabin, cleaning up, and testing the boat after the winter layover.  The good news, the cabin and boat are ready for the summer.  The lake is really full, and likely to get more full, as authorities are not letting water out of the lake.  Apparently there is so much runoff from other rivers, they are afraid the Truckee river can't take that additional load of the lake spill.  So, we should enjoy this high lake time.  We went in and out of some wonderful coves below Thunderbird Lodge.  One of my favorite pictures of the trip.



We'll need to go to this one and just hang around for the day.


While we were on the lake, I wanted to get a picture of Robert and Brent, but the usual angle was just not good enough, so I decided a shot from lake level would be a more unique perspective.


Of course, the problem with that is that I actually had to be at lake level, so yes, I got into the lake.  This will redefine cold for quite some time!


Yes, it was very refreshing... to say the least.  For the record, Robert and Brent were so excited, they wanted to go for a tube run, which they did, but with wet suits... still did not stop them from getting cold and wet, especially when they fell off the tube - three times.  All in all, a good day at Tahoe.
