Lake Tahoe, Summer 2014

In mid-August we escaped the Dallas summer to meet the Randolphs in scenic (and cool) Lake Tahoe, CA. We filled the long weekend with camping, hiking, boating, beach activities and a little early morning photography.

They're going to feed me what!?!
Who me?  Yes, you - you who screamed from 1-2 am in the campground!

Trip Itinerary
  • Friday:  Left Dallas late Friday evening, arrived really late in Tahoe
  • Saturday:  Made camp at D.L Bliss State Park
  • Sunday: Boated and beached, hike to the Tea House on the island of Emerald Bay
  • Monday: Hiked about 6 miles from D.L. Bliss to Vikingsholm on the Rubicon Trail
  • Tuesday:  Early AM photo shoot at Emerald Bay, midday flight back to Dallas

Thoughts
  • Thanks to the Randolph family for taking great care of us.
  • Bring a swimsuit!  Lake Tahoe is magical in the summer.
  • Leaving Dallas at 8:45pm is very late; would be better to get an earlier flight.
  • One more day would have helped the enjoyment-to-travel-hassle ratio
