Day Three -
The winds continued to play a major role in this trip...today, northerly winds forecasted. Jared suggested that we reverse today's route - providing the wind at our back. The eastern shore of Lake Tahoe is magnificent, with little development. Suggested day trips include Sand Harbor to Secret Harbor, or Skunk Harbor.
Fascinating history of Thunderbird Lodge, built by George Whittell in the 1939. He donated most of the east shore to the Nevada State Parks when he passed on.
The Washoe Nation holds trust land on Skunk Harbor, to be used for "cultural" purposes only. If it's trust land, the Washoe Nation should have the ability to do whatever they want with the land.
Looking south from Sand Harbor
Lunchbreak in a cove just south of Secret Harbor. Note the cabins...there are about four of them nestled in the trees along the shoreline, they have a US Forest Service lease... priceless, to be sure!
