Echo Lake

We ended up having dinner with my sister & family in Santa Cruz on Sunday, and they asked where we were headed next. We had vague notions, but no firm plans (not a bad way to vacation), and they offered use of a family cabin up on Echo Lake, near Lake Tahoe. The cabin has only solar power, and you get to it by either hiking 30-40 minutes, or taking the water taxi (aluminum boat with outboard motor) across the lake. We ended up spending three nights at this wonderful place. Thanks Dave & Jenny!

Isn't this a beautiful spot? We've taken the water taxi and hiked around a bit. You were about 1 1/2 hours from our house. Its nice to be so close to a corner of Heaven.

Happy (late) anniversary! Hope you had an enjoyable and restful trip (as much as you could).

Oh my goodness, that looks wonderful. How lucky you were.

I am laughing at the story you told about the lizard on your back.
