I’m a little behind on my writing. We went to Lake Tahoe 2 weekends ago…actually we stayed at Donner Lake. We stayed at the Donner Lake Village Resort. Not a bad place located right on Donner Lake.
We hiked up into the desolation wilderness above Emerald Lake. We didn’t have the child carrying backpack, so we took him in the baby bjorn. That meant we couldn’t carry all of his stuff, so we just did a quick mile in and back (actually, not too quick, we still had to do some climbing). Zach loved it except for coming down since he bounced around alot.
Later we strolled along the Truckee River.
All these years I’ve always taken highway 80 over Donner Summit…but this time I ventured over historic highway 40 on Donner Pass.
Zach was a real trooper. We took him out on the town both nights in Truckee. He went to OBs and to the Bar of America. He also had breakfast at the Truckee Diner. I recommend all 3 of these for eating within Truckee. We also had lunch at Jakes on the Waterfront in Tahoe City – great lakeside restaurant.
