Last Day in Tahoe

Well, it is our last day here and we are totally relaxed. We need to get busy packing but seem to be moving in slow motion. At least we don't have to plan what we need for a week - just for the ride home.

Don's brother Dale arrived yesterday for a brief visit from Chico. He also enjoyed our balcony view of nature - the numerous birds and trees, squirrels and chipmunks.

The brothers enjoyed a brief walk by the lake yesterday plus a longer hike this morning while I started laundry. They visited the secluded Secret Harbor and Skunk Harbor and were passed by a 76-year old gentleman with a backpack.

As they were leaving this morning, they came back to point out the black bear that was ambling through the grounds. He was much larger than the one I saw the other day. It was nice to view him from the balcony and not face to face. It is illegal to feed the bears here - $1,000 fine and/or 6 months in jail if I remember correctly.

Guess I should think about our leftovers dinner - leaving just enough for breakfast tomorrow. Then on our way southward and home. We'll aim for Bishop for night after a brief visit to Tuolome Meadow or the historic town of Bodie. We'll see.
