To our surprise and completely against the weather predictions we awoke to a very sunny morning whilst a lot more snow had arrived.
Anyway after a late breakfast we decided to try and walk in to town approx two miles away and if that failed we would resort to car or bus. The snow was beginning to melt very fast indeed and in fact by mid afternoon the snow had mostly gone from the roads and the I 50 had re opened to traffic although they may close it from time to time to do blasting against avalanches.
We came across the Gondola ride which takes you to the Heavenly Skiing area and the views were incredible as the pictures will show. A quick snack at Subway and then on for further walking before returning to the Hotel to check on road conditions for the next section of our jouney. A lot of people it would appear had become stranded in Lake Tahoe due to the bad weather as the local newspaper reported.
Not sure if we will go out tonight or eat locally.
UPDATE: We finally decided to go to the cinema and see Scary Movie 4, wasn't bad. The movie house was in a place called STATELINE, which is split over Nevada and California Borders. So on one end of the town you have say half a dozen gambling locations, but next door in the other side of town you have only shops selling souvenirs! The amusing thing was that when we left the carpark there was an exit sign which said, turn left for Calaifornia and Turn right for Nevada. I did not have my camera so could not record.
Please note that we are now up to date with photgraphs- We hope that you enjoy them.
