Day on the Lake

Today we took a 2 hour paddle boat trip around Lake Tahoe. It was a beautiful day for a boat ride! Lake Tahoe is the deepest Alpine lake in North America and 2nd in the world. Lake Titicaca is deeper. It is fed by 63 mountain streams and is extremely clear. You can see 70 ft. or more below the surface!

It holds 39 trillion gallons of water. Think about covering CA in almost 14 inches of water or giving each person in the US 50 gallons of water a day for 5 years!! That's a lot of water! Because it's so deep, it never freezes. It's also one of the purest bodies of water in the world with 99.994% of the water pure. Commercially distilled water 99.998% pure. They call Lake Tahoe: The Lake of the Sky because it reflects the color of the sky. On clear days the water is blue 💙 on cloudy days it reflects the trees and the water turns green 💚

Later that evening we saw Alex Ramon who won Penn and Teller Fool Us Season 8 (look it up on You Tube) He has a cute blond assistant named MJ with 4 legs and was one of the best magic shows I've ever seen. Another great day in Tahoe.Read more
