Cindy has a "to do" list and one of the things on it is to Stand Up Paddle. I am a huge fan of doing this fun summer activity at the wonderful alpine resort of Angora Lakes.

Named for the Angora goats that were grazed here in the 1870s, the resort was built by the Hildinger family in 1918 and they still own it.
Getting to the resort takes a little bit of effort.
Angora Lakes Resort Day Use Area Essential Eligibility Criteria:
We endeavor to offer a unique day use experience at Angora Lakes Resort, a historic Lake Tahoe front-country location.  To safely enjoy the resort, visitors must meet the following essential eligibility criteria: Participants must have the ability to safely hike, bike or use other nonmotorized means (including with assistance of a companion)  to go up and down hill at least a mile roundtrip over rocky, rugged, slippery, and sandy terrain, with obstacles up to 18” high, at 7000-7500’ elevations. There are no paved surfaces beyond the Angora Parking area.
But oh my... it is so worth the effort.
This is my favorite place to Paddle and a highlight of Summer.




Cindy was a natural!


Best floatie ever!!! I need one of these balloon dogs.
Cindy is a swimmer...Me, not so much! It was cold.


After our idyllic day out, we came home for an early dinner in the backyard and gaming (we are huge fans of Rummikub). Ahh, the lazy days of summer. It doesn't get much better than this!
