Tired of Tahoe

OK. I finished my post late last night as the neighbors pulled in, around midnight. Then they decided to make a racket, stand outside with their dogs, smoke and talk—loudly—until 3:30 a.m.

We woke up a little late, had a great breakfast and the kids and I went out and threw the football. That was when I stepped in a pile of fresh dog crap. Thanks again, neighbors! That is the last straw for Teresa and me. We walk to the RV office and ask for another spot. While I am in the office getting a new site Teresa is talking to the camp host about the noise and other "issues." He tells her he will keep an eye on them tonight but won't mention anything directly to them to prevent any mischief directed our way.

This RV park is a totally different kind of park than we have experienced. It is filled with many more people that are more interested in partying and drinking than any other we have seen. Since this is more of a beach destination and less a national park, we are guessing this is difference. There is a definite L.A. vibe here. Some monster trucks and others that are chopped. Its more tattoos and bikinis than hiking boots and granola.

We investigate heading to the beach but there are way too many 20 year olds walking around the beach with the f-bomb dropping everywhere. And it is packed. Maybe we can rent some wave runners. Oh, all out and they are $109 an hour plus $8 for fuel, EACH. Ummmm, no thanks.

We decide to hang out at the RV and that is a good decision. We play some games, toss the football, kick the soccer ball and have a very nice night at "home." Later on we are treated to an incredibly intense sunset over the lake. I have heard of times when it looks like the sky is on fire and tonight it really does! The light is so intense, the colors so rich, that it looks like there is a wildfire across the horizon.

We are excited to hit the road early and get to Yosemite. We are definitely crowd-averse now. Funny how quickly that set in. We are getting uncomfortable being around people. Maybe not uncomfortable, maybe just annoyed. We are spoiled being out in the wide open spaces. I am sure getting back to Northern Virginia will be a delight!
