Day Two - Camp Richardson to Zephyr Cove
Camp Richardson's lodging along the lake was really great - especially after battling 20mph head winds for 4 hours.
We instantly felt like we were "on-vacation." Dinner under the stars at the restaurant added to the atmosphere. The languid lapping of the waves, the lack of people - ah.... September in Tahoe.
Beach clean-up found plenty of BUTTS - the cigarette type. It will take 1 to 5 YEARS for your butt to dissolve, so for all you smokers, consider quitting... but at least - PICK UP YOUR BUTTS!
Rising early, we watched the sunrise over the mountains to the east. NOAA was calling for a wind warning on the lake, with winds between 20-30mph and wind waves reaching 3 feet. I decided to gallantly volunteer for "land-transport" - shuttling the cars to Zephyr Cove. Whatta gal. Jared, reaching deep for his "Inner Shakleton" - decided to put paddle to water and "get on with it."
By the time I reached Zephyr Cove, the waves and wind had really picked up. Really picked up. My cell phone rang, and Jared was on the beach...about four miles south...at the South Lake Tahoe Golf Club.
