Today we drove from this....
to this:
75 degree weather, green trees, blooming iris and roses and fresh fruit stands featuring the first picked sweet cherries of the season.
We topped off our visit to Lake Tahoe last night with dinner at a restaurant we visited last year, where the same singer performed. He remembered us from last year and sat down to talk with us for a while. He's a 59-year-old ex-counter culture type with a 12-year-old daughter and strong opinions on everything from politics to child rearing. It's fun to talk to originals like him. You don't agree with everything he says, but he's not a boring guy.
At least he's not the closed-minded types we ran across in Nevada: one guy, a truck driver we chatted with when we stopped to look at the Bonneville Salt Flats, strong implied he would have been just as happy if Obama had been killed instead of Bin Laden! Later on in the evening, a waitress pooh-poohed the notion that Bin Laden had been killed. She said, in a know-it-all voice, "The government's known where he was all along and if they really wanted him dead, he would have been dead a long time ago." Yikes. Now we know where Sarah Palin's base lives.
Tomorrow we go into Yosemite to start exploring. Our RV park is about 20 miles outside the park itself. We couldn't get reservations inside the park because they wouldn't accept dogs.
