California road trip - updated w/ pics
Our friends from up north booked us some camping spots up at Lake Almanor over the 4th of July - was thinking to leave a few days before and go check out Bodie SP, I know it's kind of last minute to p...

Once we left Lake Almanor we headed back south to Lake Tahoe, Zephyr cove rv park. No must have campsites here, just basic full hook up sites. the premium sites are just pull through mostly level, is it worth the extra cost I don't think so.
Stopped by Vigina City NV to take a looksy, didn't spend much time here as we wanted
Coming down the 50 into Tahoe
Campsite 108 nothing special - just a backin site.
Got setup ate dinner at wallys pizza a couple miles south, great pizza and wings with nice grassy outback seating, caught a sunset after.
Scouted Zephyr cove beach area (which is across the street) for potential kayaking / SUP but it was way to touristy and didn't have that real Lake Tahoe clear water feel. Too many jet ski rentals plus the MS. Dixie cruise and all the other rental stuff going on. We headed north about 4 miles to cave rock tunnel - Small little beach area with a boat launch $10 parking fee. Across the street at Zephyr cove was $35.
This day was overcast and scattered rain. But still fun times on the water! And no crowds.
Day two in Tahoe was a highlight of the Tahoe trip, Nicole has been wanting to do parasailing so I booked us a spot through Ski Run boat way before we even hit the road. Great experience and super fun, highly recommend it if you haven't done it. We did the 500' option.
Off they go!
We requested a dip in the water!
3rd day in Tahoe we hit up Sand Harbor, this is about 35 mins from camp and was absolutely a blast. $10 (or something like that for parking) lots of beach plus lots of people on a Saturday. Sand harbor also has a nice cafe, worth the trip if you want to get away from rental fleets and chaos, It's nice to have your own gear to get away from the crowds and find your own lil spot.
Heading out
Found a small lil Fall - ok we will Seattle here
Left Tahoe and headed back to the sierras, June lake loop.
