Break: Lake Tahoe

We had a three day break for Memorial Day.  A group of us decided to go see Lake Tahoe before we headed east across Nevada.

Since it was Memorial Day weekend and we didn't have a reservation for a campsite, we asked a ranger for advice and camped along the Tahoe Time Trail.

Where we should have camped.  10 minutes further up the trail.  Called "Big Meadow."

The drive from Reno to Ely, NV on Route 50.  Very few other cars.  Passed through  two towns in 200 miles, each with one gas station.

Not a highway to take if you want to be around other people.
