Today was a “rest day” of sorts because the main event was just a drive around Lake Tahoe. We drove in a clockwise loop so as to be on the side of the road that is closest to the lake for better views. At some points the lack of guard rails and steep drop offs made for a tighter grip on the steering wheel, but worth it. The first half on the left of the lake was all in California. It seems that this time of year is when CalTrans does all the maintenance on their two lane CA-89. Felt like we came across a flagman holding up a long line of cars every 5 miles. Thankfully the Nevada side was almost entirely construction free making for smooth sailing. With stops, including one for lunch, it took a little over four hours to drive the 75 miles.
