Beautiful photos. I love Tahoe anytime of year, but usually have been there in the Winter.

With all those peaks, what is the wind like on the lake? (Not that one needs it where it is so gorgeous.

Larry~
Tahoe looks beautiful. The lake is low these days so I was curious where you launched for your holiday cruise?

Larry, leave it to me to ask a non-sailing question . . . in the second photo, is the area that appears to be a rock slide the result of a mine (abandoned I would presume?)

We launched at Tahoe Keys, which is the only ramp at Lake Tahoe with enough depth for a Catalina 25, and which also allows overnight parking. Most of the public launch ramps are posted "Day Use Only - No Overnight Parking - Tow Away After 10:00 pm", so the private marinas at Tahoe Keys and Meeks Bay are the only places you can launch for a multi-day cruise, and Meeks Bay has been too shallow for a Catalina 25 for many years. As low as the lake is, I was barely able to get through the entrance channel; the sounder was showing "0.0" (depth under keel) most of the way, and I could feel the tip of the keel dragging bottom in some places.

I don't know about any mines, but that scar on the hillside has been there for as long as I can remember. My guess is it's the result of an avalance or landslide. Maybe the topsoil there is just too thin to support re-growth of trees?
