Lake Tahoe - Camp Richardson June 20, 2018

My SKEG kayaking group celebrated the Summer Solstice and first day of Summer in beautiful South Lake Tahoe. Home was hot hot hot at 100 plus degrees, so the cooler weather was a bonus.  We camped at Camp Richardson a historical resort right on the lake. My family had been going there for over 35 years. We have missed the last several years so this was special for me and brought back many good memories of family members who are long gone.

Charley, my Travato Camper Van, was my home base. It carries all my comforts and toys. The rest of my group camped in tents and cars.  I felt a little bad when they were kept awake by noisy campers that I never ever heard...



We kayaked the Upper Truckee River. It was full of Mergansers and their chicks. It was a beautiful paddle. We also paddled from D.L. Bliss into Emerald Bay. We left early enough to miss most the crowns and enjoyed some beautiful, colorful, clear water.



In between paddles a friend and I biked the bike trails that are beautiful as well.  Love this place!! And Love my Paddling club! Oh yeah, and love my Travato!
