The arrival in The Lake Tahoe.

Tuesday March, 28

Dawn in the Nevada desert. From the railroad Salt Lake City, UT - Reno, NV.

Amtrak train, a stop before Reno.

Sitting in the bus on the way to South Lake Tahoe, before the road goes up to the mountains.  The snow tops of Sierra Nevada and Washoe Lake, south from Reno. Very nice,  pine woods, no snow on the desert. No a cruel winter here.

In August of 1861, Mark Twain came upon Lake Tahoe.

"We plodded on two or three hours, and at last the Lake burst upon us - a noble sheet of blue water lifted 6300 feet above the level of the Ocean and walled in by a rim of snow-clad mountain peaks that towered aleft full three thousand feet higher still! As it lay there with the shadows of the mountains brilliantly photographed upon its still surface, I thought it must surely be the fairest picture of the whole earth affords."
