No Word

The week has come and gone. I was almost positive when I was in Tahoe something would happen just because I was out of the area.

For those who are new to visiting my little corner of the web here's a quick recap. In February, my family decided to go into business for ourselves and open a franchise, Minuteman Press. It is now June, My dad was laid off for work in January, My brother lost his job in March. And as, planned I quit my job late May.

We were supposed to be going to training next week. However, the real estate business has been exploding in Elk Grove. That means there is nothing available for us to move into for a store front. Now, we are at the present day. We are looking for a store front. No word this week. Hopefully, something will open up next week.

Were not out yet, just a month behind our planned opening.

Anyway, I am headed back to the mountains for the weekend. I will try to take some pictures but this is a working weekend for me.

Here's another photo from my collection. Since the Winter Runoff has quickly proven to be popular, here is another photo just down stream with a similar quality.

Lake Tahoe

I can never get over the sights at Lake Tahoe. I had to take a day that quickly turned into two days to enjoy the mountians and get out of the house. Nevermind the opportunity to take a few pictures.

What is equally amazing is the rock I was standing on after I took this picture my cell phone all of a suddenly rings. I had a pleasant conversation with my grandmother and agreed to meet her for dinner on my way home. After I hung up I couldn't help to think that, 200 hundred years ago this rock I was standing on was probably completely isolated from civilization.

Today, it is still relatively in the middle of no where minus the vista point two hundred yards away. Yet, I had perfect reception on my cell and my grandmother was able to reach me dispite the fact she had no idea where I was.

Still, there isn't much that can top the bueaty of Lake Tahoe (not even my grandmother able to reach me on a rock beside a lake at 6,000 ft)

Keep Tahoe Blue

Crystal Clear

One of the amazing wonders about Lake Tahoe is how crystal clear the water is. You can actually take a boat out on the lake and see all the rocks and pebbles up to 80 feet (possibly further down).

This picture is probably only shows a depth of 10 to 15 feet. However, the detail is absolutely amazing.

On a side not this picture was taken about 10 minutes away from from the famous Pondarosa Ranch. The very one that was featured by everybody's favorite western TV show "Bonanza."

Winter Runoff

It was a wet and rainy Wednesday afternoon. Dispite the dismal weather, things don't get much greener than this, on the way to Lake Tahoe.

Not to mention, a little rain helped make this shot a little more dramatic. Imagine, this sight was only fifteen feet away from Hwy 50. However, it makes me wonder how many people drove by it and didn't even notice, and how many fewer actually stopped to take a look.

I think it is fair to say I might have been the only one to stop and look that day.
