A walk in the forest behind our house

The start of our magical ride at Fanny Bridge in Tahoe City

On our bikeride from Tahoe City to Homewood. Jason, Raf, Linda and myself. What a beautiful lake and weather. Took timeout for a leisure swim.

Sights along the way of our bikeride. Exceptional...

A real shangri-la at Lake Tahoe. Lou and Chris B. invited us to go kayaking from their backyard on the Lake. All the toys and beautiful surroundings. We paddled for several miles down along the coast and played with the paddle boards when we got back to their house.

Jason and Linda exhibiting their skills on the water.

Great house and yard. Lakeside and gorgeous. We had a wonderful time and it was off to go river rafting down the Truckee. No pics of that but equally as beautiful and relaxing in the water. Summertime at the Lake is OK..... Wintertime has always been my first love up here, but summer is not far behind. Aloha all. Come and play.........

Lunch at Nalu and Malia's Homestead 12 July 08

The happy couple and Kamalei, with a view like that who wouldn't be smiling......It's going to be lots of work and patience but it's a million dollar view. At 2:00 the temp was 65 degrees. Their lot is at 4300 ft. elevation.

Lanea, Kainalu and Kalena each with their walking sticks.

Preparing for lunch, check the view of the westside. This is from Skip's lot right below Nalu and Malia's.

Nalu and Skip working on the property with the D-8. Skip is one of the owners of the overall property.

This is part of the road, the easy part.........
