Fallen Leaf Lake Campground, California

NEXT WE STOPPED AT FALLEN LEAF LAKE... a campground and resort for locals and tourists... it has a narrow road in and out and most of the houses were up on the hills overlooking the lake...

The road leading into the woods and dock...

A mile away from the town...

House on top of the hill....

Fir trees all around... a very secluded spot for those who loves peace and quiet...

Reminded me of those romantic books I read before...

Danielle Steele... Susan Lewis....

Where the man or lady spent the holiday in a small secluded area...

And then something happened... suspense then broke lose... 

hahahaha...

                       Soon..... we made a detour to continue our journey into Lake Tahoe town...

                                And we parked our car here at this Harrahs Casino.... 

Emerald Bay Up North Lake Tahoe

ANOTHER ONE MORE STOP AT EMERALD BAY ON THE WAY UP NORTH...  There was one point where both lakes were visible on each side.... there isn't any barricades whatsoever on the sides..... the driver got to be REALLY good.... One wrong turn on the steering wheel, it will be "Sayonara" there and then....... hahaha...  

I should have taken a picture of the dangerous turning but at that moment of time, I dare not think of anything else except *please... fast fast pass through* ...

Nearly... and I said again.. 

It nearly took my breath away...

Just too beautiful not to take any pictures..... with my usual V... 

aiyoh!

A candid shot... behind our back...

 I zoomed up a bit.. and there was one little island with a castle on it...

This is Emerald Bay...

Different color shots... 

I wouldn't want to lose them so I gotta post them here...

Around the vicinity...

Fir trees are everywhere.... 

And one Thumbs up for the driver before we left Emerald Bay....

Pope Beach At Lake Tahoe

STOPPED AT POPE BEACH ON THE WAY UP TO SOUTH LAKE TAHOE... The beach was breathtaking.. water was so clean and clear... and of course, freezing cold too... hahahaa...

The Resthouse was the first place we visited once we stepped out of the car.. 

hahahaha..

Snowy mountain from afar....

Serenity...

CLEAR WATER!!

And that's Reanaclaire with her many poses...

hahahaha...

Pictures that paint a thousand words...

Need not say anymore... except.....

So Thankful for everything... everywhere!

Up The Mountains To Lake Tahoe

UP AND UP THE CAR ASCENDED THE MOUNTAINS.... getting colder and colder every minute...

We stopped halfway... the scenery was breathtaking on both sides of the mountains...

The ravine was endless... one of my siblings dare not look down....

So did I !!

hahahaha...
