South Lake Tahoe

A trip in pictures to Inspiration Point.
Looking east from Inspiration Point.
Steve in front of Emerald Bay at Inspiration Point.  Fanette Island, Lake Tahoe's only island in the background.
Gari in a similar aspect a bit closer in.  A Tea House also exists at the top of the right most peak of Fanette Island barely visibke ibn the background below..
Closer in on Fanette Island.
The Tea House is just a shell now, but in the day the elite traveled there for High Tea dahling.
Emerald Bay from the south tip.
Gari at Inspiration Point looking south
View from atop the granite outcropping at Inspiration Point.
Mountain ridge to the south.
A tree with a large fire scar on the road up to Fallen Leaf Lake.... which we could not complete.  We turned around about 5 miles short of our targeted destination.
The consolation prize was riding by the Ponderosa Ranch!  There's Pepe parked by Ponderosa Ranch Road.
Another road block!  The Ponderosa Ranch property is private now, and the general public is no longer invited.  We could see some of the TV Set buildings up above that remain. Can you see them?
Gari is pointing out one of the small buildings in the picture below.   Not much to see here folks, move along now.
Going back through the tunnel on the way back to Carson City.
Carson City to the south and east coming back down the mountain from Tahoe.
We sure did enjoy the sightseeing around Lake Tahoe!
