North Side of Lake Tahoe, Truckee

Today, I drove up the the west side of the lake again on 89 to Truckee. I went to the health food store there and ate lunch and walked around downtown Truckee.

You know, Lake Tahoe seems behind in many ways. People here are progressive I've noticed.... very health conscious; they eat salads... like middle-aged men eat salads for dinner and go to the grocery store and just buy salad. And of course they are very eco friendly here. If you don't bring your own bags to the grocery stores in California, they charge you for the bags you use. At the same time, remodeling updates, decor and other things seem behind the times. The closest Home Depots are Carson City and Reno... I've noticed several times now that credit card processing takes forever and the waitresses are using old school paper for orders. I've seen several venues staple receipts together. It's baffling.

After Truckee, I drove and walked Tahoe City, Kings Beach and Tahoe Vista today. Lots of cute shops and such in these little towns that surround Lake Tahoe.

I'm staying in Tahoe Vista for a couple of days. I've got a whole house to myself and a hottub too. Got in the hottub, cooked dinner, watched a movie, reviewed one weeks worth of emails and processed payroll tonight.

There's a trail that connects right here behind the house, and I'm very close to the Lake where I'm staying so planning on checking that out tomorrow... walk down to the lake on the trail. I also plan to take a road trip up to Incline Village.Läs mer
