This past week saw unseasonably cool weather around the basin. Deck diners were seated inside @ Sunnyside to escape the showers falling on the outdoor seats. But, warmer temps appear to be coming for the last big weekend- Labor day. What used to be the climax of the long summer season is now but a shadow of its former self. Yes, there are crowds, but during the week prior, the numbers of vacationers are way down, almost 'tween season figures. With schools starting earlier and earlier, the summer season is much abbreviated. The windy days had the distinct odor of fall: pine scents punctuated by raindrops and rolling thunder. Don't leave us yet Summer, you were here but briefly!
The Truckee appears to be at a good level for September, with all gates open wide at the outlet. Not many rafters were in evidence, and the holiday may be the last gasp for 2010 for the Blue Fleet.
We are hoping for a good weekend crowd to give our businesses a final boost before the second season begins in November. Lack of visitors at Squaw Valley highlight the difficult conditions for owners and workers alike. Calls for a 2nd Stimulus are not encouraging, and have the opposite effect, underscoring the recession that won't quit.
Fishin' Boats
Spotted two boats with many anglers onboard vic. Meeks Bay. With a slight breeze to ripple the surface, conditons looked good. I'll check my fish guide to see if the moon is right.
Lake Tahoe, California's Alpine playground, is anchored on the west shore by Homewood/Tahoma, straddling two counties:Placer and El Dorado. The mayor of Tahoma posts information related to the area and items of interest to residents and visitors alike. Its goal is to be informative, humorous, and timely. Hope you enjoy the site.
