Day 14—Lone Pine to Lake Tahoe (Meeks Bay), California



Today we rode north for one of the first times on our trip. We climbed into the alpine regions and were very happy to be in pine forested mountains and lots of curvy roads. It is harder on Devin, but I am really enjoying the riding because I am not getting sick at all!







Today we rode north for one of the first times on our trip. We climbed into the alpine regions and were very happy to be in pine forested mountains and lots of curvy roads. It is harder on Devin, but I am really enjoying the riding because I am not getting sick at all! Either it is because I am out in the fresh air, or that I am really part of the road and feel like I am travelling, rather than just sitting still in a car. It is wonderful! We travelled through mountains, then down into open valleys. We took the road near Yosemite, but the road through the park was closed. We took the 89 up to the Lake Tahoe area. And it was winding! The scenery was incredible and we stopped at this tiny town for some ice cream.

Lake Tahoe was amazing! It is huge and beautiful. But I can see that it would get busy in the winter and summer. This area has had lots of snow in the past month, and the hills are still open in some places. As we climbed into the Lake Tahoe region, it got pretty cold. We are camping on the shores of Lake Tahoe and had are having a great fire! We collected these huge pinecones and are burning them. It is very fun! But no marshmallows to roast, unfortunately.
