Friday morning we went hiking up a ski trail to get a view of the lake. Isn't this beautiful? It was breathtaking in person. The lake is so blue and clear.
Here is Keith, Ming and Stephen relaxing at the empty ski resort at the top of our hike. It was a wonderful place to sit and talk and enjoy the beautiful setting. We stayed so long that I got a sunburn. I didn't mind at all! :)

On Friday Keith and I went down to explore the lake. The water was unbelievably clear and beautiful!
Friday afternoon we drove to the other side of the lake to hike down to Vikingsholm. (For more info on this fantastic places, check out: www.vikingsholm.com.) This is the view of the lake from the top (beginning) of the hike.
This is the view of the waterfall from the top of the hike.
This is Vikingholm. It's a scandinavian estate built in the traditional style with the main house in the center and longhouses on either side with sod roofs. We hiked down over a mile to get here.
From Vikingsholm we hiked over to the base of Eagle Falls. It was beautiful and the mist felt really nice. It was over 80 degrees outside that day and I was sorry that I wore a black t-shirt!
Here is Keith and I at the base of Eagle Falls. We had an amazing weekend in Tahoe. I am so glad that we went.

Wow, that's gorgeous! That' must have been very relaxing. I hope things calm down for you guys a little bit, or a lot a bit.
Wow! I love all the pictures, especially the one of Vikingsholm.
I'm glad you were able to relax after so much stress!
I can't believe you guys didn't swim in the water! Come on, 50 degrees isn't that cold! I'm glad you guys had a fun time!
Aren't you glad you went when you did, and not now? I feel so bad for everyone that owns homes up there.
