Hello Friends,
Chris Cain was rocking the Village at Squaw last night. A good crowd was on hand to listen to him belt out the blues. I cannot believe a year has passed, but the summer ski sales are beginning this weekend. Of course, Tom Lane is offering a preview sale of his numerous lines of outdoor wear and equipment. He will have a one day sale on Thursday from 9 to 3:30 at his home on Juniper Mt. (follow the signs to his house). The 16th annual outdoor rep sale will be held in Tahoe City on Friday and Saturday. There will be plenty of good deals.
It has been hot in Tahoe. At this point in time, I would head for water. We hiked to Whiskey Creek Sunday and enjoyed the many blooming wildflowers along the way. This is a hike many of you have done before. It begins at the Five Lakes Trail in Alpine and continues about 1.5 miles beyond the turn off to the larger lakes. Whiskey Creek is not running very strongly, but it was cool in the shade and fun to see the old cabins where sheepherder’s spent many a summer.
Mountain biking might be best early in the morning or later in the afternoon. Have a get weekend. There will be fireworks all over. Donner Lake and Tahoe City are always fun to watch.
Enjoy your day,
Andy Wertheim
