Back from Lake Tahoe after spending Labor Day weekend in the mountains (and, more than I would have liked, in the car). Saturday involved a 9-mile roundtrip hike starting at the Meeks Bay trailhead, veering onto the Tahoe-Yosemite trail, and passing through the Desolation Wilderness on the way to Lake Genevieve and Crag Lake at about 7,000 feet. Sunday was less strenuous, with several hours loafing on the beach at Lake Tahoe punctuated by a short tour of Meeks Bay under kayak power (well, upper-body power sitting on the kayak, to be more accurate). For those who doubt, the proof is in the pictures.
