I’m a bit behind in updating pictures. Click on the photo to see some photos from our trip to South Lake Tahoe two weekends ago. We decided to do two different cross country ski trails and stayed in SLT Saturday night. Saturday was a ski in along snowed in forest road from Highway 88 to Scott’s Lake. It wasn’t far, but it was a long ski in since we were breaking trail through a bunch of fresh powder, not to mention the climb. Before we started the ski we watched two people set up a dog sled – the pooches were so excited to get out in the snow and run around.
Sunday we checked out one of the marked (but not groomed) trails at Strawberry Canyon along Highway 50. Although the Forest Service marks the 42 mile tract as a legitimate parking for trail access, the cop that wanted to ticket us didn’t think so. Luckily he decided not to ticket, and David showed him the NFS handout that labelled that exact spot as legal parking, though I don’t think he cared. He was all concerned about the people who ‘lived back in those cabins that needed to park there’. Someone needs to tell him that they were all closed for the winter.
