Tahoe Fire

Larry and I took a quick trip up to the Manzanita Lodge to check out the fire damage for ourselves. We wanted to be sure the fire hadn't damaged our hopes for the reunion! Happily we found the little town of South Lake Tahoe bustling and busy with nary a sight of the fire damage visible. There is a tall stand of pine trees screening the lodge from the nearest the fire got. Mostly the underbrush burned and some trees were scorched in the fire, but for our purposes I don't think we'll be affected by the fire at all. We could hardly even smell any smoke and the reunion is fully 3+ weeks away. Here are a few pictures... The first is the little meadow just beyond the lodge where you can see some fire damage. The second is of the tall pines behind the lodge and the 3rd is of the lodge itself with the screen of tall pines beside it (you can see the other side of the stand of trees in the first picture). - Lucy
