Recap of Day 6 (Sunday)

We haven't had good enough internet connection to upload files so I will have to get everything up to date when we get home which will probably be Tuesday. Today we woke up to a beautiful morning in the small town of Lone Pine, CA. Had a quick continental breakfast then headed north on HWY 395. In my last update I mentioned that we would probably go through Yosemite Park but we decided to bypass that and head towards Tahoe. We continued north on HWY 395 and then north on HWY 89 which was a fantastic drive. 89 took us right into part of the Sierra Mountains where we considered a camping spot right on a river that had some cool rapids (about 30 miles south of Lake Tahoe). Have some good pics and video of those rapids but will have to upload later. We instead continued up to Lake Tahoe. Once we reached the town of South Lake Tahoe we fueled up and washed the car since it was still covered with Death Valley dust. We then continued driving up the west side of the Lake looking for a campground or a hotel that had a nice lake view. We struck gold when we pulled in to the Sunnyside Lodge in Tahoe City, CA which is on the northwest side of the lake. It's right on the lake and they had one lake view room left. Keli was very happy and when she's happy.....

Anyhow I was able to get a video of the room view uploaded before the internet connection here slowed down considerably and that is below. Tomorrow, Monday Day 7, we continue on HWY 89 into northern Cal, probably through Lassen Volcanic National Park and onward to Mount Shasta. We will be looking for a campground, and campground ONLY, somewhere between Shasta and southern Oregon. We want to have 1 night of camping on this trip and this will be our best chance. Then on Tuesday Day 8 we will head home and fall down.
