The Most Beautiful Lake in America
Man! I can't believe I get to come to Lake Tahoe! I came here to work, but, I am definitely squeezing as much fun time out of it as possible.
When you start driving up here, you can definitely tell when the city starts to peel off your car wheels and the mountain starts to creep into your nostrils. The smell of a perfect mixture of mountain dirt mixed with the scent of the giant pine trees is so refreshing. Besides, how often you feel so dwarfed by giant living creatures? I often want to feel dwarfed if I can see dinosaurs again. Yet, driving in these thinly paved roads in the midst of all these living giants, it certainly impress a sense of awe!
Yesterday, I went to the beach on the lake and frolicked for about 1 hour before my pager went off. I enjoyed the gentle sun, beaming on my head, gentle breeze cooling off my skin, and site of big goose waddling on the beach amongst the little kids... unafraid and friendly. It was a serene scene of vacationers and the beauty of a vast clear blue pool called Tahoe.
Some one once said, Lake Tahoe has enough water to cover the entire California with 14 inches of water. It is about 1,600 feet deep and on the clear day, the water is so clear, you can see directly almost 70 feet down without difficulty! It is so blue and emerald... so calm... no waves... beautiful.
Today, I took off for an hour and went to the Renaissance Fair. It was so fun and goofy! People dress up in medieval clothing... some people are even in-character, talking in old-English and asking where people are from... clearly, all the locations he talked about were in medieval England somewhere. It was so fun! There were sword fights, lots of drinking, clay pot smashes, archery, vulgar plays, vendors of various medieval art, clothing, incense, food, weapons...
After work around 7:30pm, I drove to the trail head of the Vikingsholm off the stunning Emerald Bay. I did the 2.2 mile hike down and back up. I spent 30 min sitting at the lake side. There were even 3 beavers that were playing in the lake by themselves. They noticed me and started to swim toward me, but dare not to get too close. Then I see a big bunch of pine needles and green bulky leaves floating purposefully from the shore off in to the middle of the bay... I was like... that's odd! Why would a bulk of debride be floating purposefully? Beaver!
Other than beavers, did see the Vikingsholm Castle. I spent time enjoying what God had made. I appreciated and thank God for His beauty that is displayed in creation.
And... oh... there is a really awesome stretch of road off the 89 highway next to Emerald Bay when you literally see huge body of water on both sides of the road!!!! Emerald Bay on the right, and Cascades Lake on the left. It almost feel like you are driving on the dinosaur's back while the dinosaur is flying above the lake! So awesome! I wanted to take pictures so bad, but there's no where I can stop... no shoulders on the road... cliffs on both sides, you know what I mean?! Awesome!
What a day?! God even gave me time to go to church today, uninterrupted, while being on call. I really like the place and the message was really good. It gave me a lot to think about. I'll process that in a little bit... I will process it. It is so good!
I took a lot of picture, but can't get it off my phone... I'll add it soon. Next time, I am bring my camera!
