Anita Baldwin's property

  Anita Baldwin was one of the two legitimate daughters of Lucky Baldwin.  She inherited a large portion of his estate including the property in the Lake Tahoe area.  She lived in a very large house on the west side of Fallen Leaf Lake which is in itself a gorgeous spot just south of Lake Tahoe.  Taylor Creek flows north out of that lake and down into Tahoe.  Walking along Taylor Creek is one of walks that Mollie and I do often.
  Tuesday night after supper a group of us drove part-way and walked the rest into the site of Antia's cabin on the west side of the lake.  I hesitate to call it a cabin because it was over 5000 sq ft.  You can only try to visualize it bacause it burned to the ground in the 1970's.  All that remains is the stone foundation and a huge fireplace and a tall chimney.  
   Even then it is not hard to imagine sitting out on the enormous front porch in the evening, watching the shodow of the sun's light creep up the mountains across from Fallen Leaf Lake.  Ah the good life.
