Our Angora Lakes Resort Day...

Over the years that Cindy has been coming to Tahoe, we have formed several traditions. One of her favorites is a day at this special Alpine lake.

Angora Lakes Resort Day Use Area Essential Eligibility Criteria:

We endeavor to offer a unique day use experience at Angora Lakes Resort (c. 1917), 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.

It has been a year since we've trudged up the hill carrying way too much stuff. This pot of coffee was the carrot dangling before us. And it was the perfect reward.

“Looking out over the lake,

I felt enveloped in the most peaceful,

loving utopia.”

-Laurie Kahn

While at the gift shop at the Crocker Museum, Cindy bought us each the perfect "inspirational drawing book meets guided mini journal for the artist on the go" (that's so me). This pocket-sized drawing journal, 642 Tiny Things to Draw, is packed with clever, some challenging, but all imaginative fun. The 642 drawing prompts invite doodlers to draw teeny-tiny things—from "a keyhole" and "a marble" to "an atom" and "your house, from space." We also bought a teeny-tiny package of colored pencil in order to be totally portable. The little kid in me was in heaven.
