Tahoe beach day
September 26, 2004




Today's goal is to enjoy a beach day by Emerald's Bay.
-The island in the middle is the only island in all of Lake Tahoe.




We park by along hwy 89, just north of the bay...




...and start our descend.

So, we leave the beach behind and hike back up. Time to head back after a good weekend...

It's electric. And pretty quick.
