Trip to Lake Tahoe, March 2006

We just returned from Tahoe Vista, CA on Lake Tahoe where we spent a week. We stayed in a quaint timeshare and it snowed every day. We needed chains on the car to get in and out over the Donner Pass on I80, in fact we had to drive 40 miles with chains when we left it was snowing so hard. We went cross country skiing one day and visited Stateline, NV and Squaw Valley Ski resorts (shopping not skiing!). Our friends Sandy and Paul Swanson from Ventura joined us for two days and the end and we went show shoeing with them and Paul and Lance went snowmobiling one day. He had the $1.99 breakfast at the Casino a couple of mornings and won enough by playing $2 in the nickel slot machines to pay for breakfast! We had a great time and it was good to seek winter for a week.
