Weekend in Lake Tahoe

Skodas invited us to spend the weekend with them up in their ski lease cabin in South Lake Tahoe We didn't have any plans that weekend so we decided to take them up on it. We drove up with Patty on Saturday morning. Unfortunately, this was right before all the snow fall they just had so there was no snow on most of the drive up. Luckily there was at least some around the lake itself. Skodas were on the slopes when we got there so we decided to enjoy the outside and head for a hike from Camp Richardson. It was so beautiful there; not much snow but the sky had fantastic clouds and a wide variety of colors - perfect for pictures. We emptied our flasks on the hike and headed back to the cabin for more booze :o).
The following day Patty decided to go with the Skodas to the slope and we went out for a snowshoe hike around Fallen Leaf. There was plenty snow there and frash snow so we were actually able to use our snowshoes. We took lunch with us and found a beautiful deck where we had our lunch. On the way back we got lil spooked as we ran into a pack of coyotes ... I think we counted 7 or 8. Luckily, our guard dog didn't even notice them.... yep she is special. They checked us out but I guess we didn't look appetizing enough so they decided to leave us alone and move on.
A storm was coming so we decided to wrap it up and head home. We got back in record 2hrs 45min. Tahoe rocks!!!
