While we were having breakfast a wild turkey came to visit our campsite and hung around to comment on our hooking up and leaving (look carefully and you can see the turkey). We came down from 7,000 to the desert floor to follow Interstate 80 to Tahoe. This is truly the last two days of our trip. We have lived in California all of our lives and neither one of us has been to Lake Tahoe. Much of the day was spent traveling through the desert and getting to the Sierras. We got off of I 80 at Truckee and drove down to Tahoe City to the William Kent Campground (run by the BLM). It was a nice campground nestled in-between condominiums. It was a little weird, after spending so many nights in campgrounds that are secluded to be around so many people. 
Yvonne and I were up in the morning and went down to South Lake Tahoe. Along the way we stopped to see Emerald Bay, the Tallac Historical Museum and several vista points for photo opportunities. This lake is truly spectacular.
Around 2:00 Ed and Judi Moncrief joined us to celebrate Ed’s first day of retirement. We went up to Squaw Valley Village where an Arts, Wine, and Classical Guitar festival was taking place. We found all the things that we like best. We sat out in the square and watched people and drank wine. What more can you ask for? We went to a Thai restaurant in Tahoe City to continue celebrating and then back to the campground where we built a campfire and sat around singing and telling stories.
