Lake Tahoe Driving Day

We had a nice and easy drive to Lake Tahoe from Oregon.  This is the last stop on our trek south to home.  We were at Lake Tahoe 2 summers ago and are staying at the same campground...even the same spot, so I don't have the typical anxiety as we drive there about what our campground will be like.  I was a little worried on our drive today as Tim was exhausted after a rough night with his itchy legs and little sleep.  But we made it here.  We set up and then quickly got on our bikes to take the bike path to the lake.  South Tahoe is perfect to ride bikes as there are bike paths everywhere.  We had a nice ride and then stopped for ice cream at our favorite ice cream shop...had to wait in line for 20 minutes as the line is always out the door.  We then walked to the beach area of the lake and took in the beauty of Lake Tahoe.  It was so busy today as it is Saturday and the weather is a perfect 72 degrees.  But all of that is changing as tomorrow should be cloudy and in the 60s and Tuesday thunderstorms and high of 55.  So we decided to leave a day early and come home Monday.  It would be no fun to be here and be stuck on our last day with thunderstorms and Tim is anxious to have a day to be fit for duty and heal from this poison oak.  So, we enjoyed our short time here today and got back on our bikes for camp and then dinner and bed.
