I had not even heard of Lake Tahoe before my visit to California and Oregon. I had planned to leave Portland by train, which I did, and stop off somewhere and do some exploring. It had been my intention to visit Crater Lake in Oregon, but to do so would mean staying somewhere overnight, and hiring a car next morning, and driving all the way back to the lake. That was just too time consuming, unfortunately. Thanks to Phil and Deni, my VT hosts, who suggested I would love Lake Tahoe, I took the train to Sacramento, hired a car, and headed out to the Lake, and Nevada. What a great decision!

Very nice page..and that's true..just by chance one can visit beautiful unforgettable places..looking forward to get there too...( :) a stop during my planned trip..) Best wishes from Italy, Angela
You seemed to have good luck with motels in the area, compared to us. Great page and photos on Lake Tahoe!
I didn't know that Lake Tahoe was 6,245 deep. I had heard that all the water there would cover California.
hey,lake Tahoe was surprising for Julian and I too. we arrived at night and we were terrified that the prices at the motels are gonna rip us off,but we were wrong,$35 kingsize bed downtown.It was October though,maybe that's why :O) hugs to ya Geoff
Grief Geoff I thought you were going to say you brought the Pine Tree home with you!!! - lol Sounds a great place to see, thanks
Lake Tahoe looks great!
Great Tahoe pages. Definitely a very nice place for an unplanned trip.
You sure covered a lot of ground on your US trip Geoff.. This place sounds wonderful.. So how is the little pine doing? ;-)
It is on the list in our itinerary lol The lake looks incredible
It's a good thing your friends talked you into visiting Lake Tahoe! This is definitely a favorite in our neck of the woods. But, no one ever has made McDonalds look as inviting as you did!
