A busy week-end in the South Lake Tahoe area. Friday evening after work we went out to supper with our next door neighbors D & L. Macaroni with brocoli and red peppers and a side salad eaten outdoors along with good conversation made for a delightful evening. On the way home our friends helped us close the Tallac site. Closing means turning the lights off and shutting the outside doors of the twenty display buildings on the site. It is easy but it takes a little time.
After we got home I took Mollie for a walk over to where a group of people were gathered near the entrance to the visitors area. There were two porta-potties and an genertor powered light so I was curious. The Reno-Tahoe Odyessy is a 187 mile team relay run similar to Hood to Coast run in Oregon. The route of the relay brings the runners around Lake Tahoe at night. The bulk of the runners were going to run by our area between 10pm and Midnight. Besides the dangers of running on a narrow two lane road in the dark, they would not get any view of the lake. We heard cheers and clapping from runner's supporters as we nodded off to sleep.
This week-end and the next is time for the annual Renaissance Faire at Camp Richardson which is about a mile east here. Lots of folks in strange attire and lots of traffic.
This morning as I walked Mollie at 6:30 we watched a steady stream of riders who are riding the 72 miles around the lake in a event rightly called America's Most Beautiful Bike Ride. The weather could not be finer. The scenery could not be better.
