Having spent the better part of the summer here in South Lake Tahoe, I tend to forget to really look up. The rocky grandeur of Mount Tallac and the shimmering lake are always there, magnificent and amazing. People come here from all over the world to hike, swim, and to just admire the views. It is really a place that has any experience you want. It has clubs, casinos, restaurants and shows for those who love the crowds and the excitement.
But, for me, the best part is that I can be alone in nature, literally all alone, with no sounds other than the wind rustling the trees and the occasional call of a bird. And, that solitude is there for the taking, within a short distance of the house, whenever I want it. And I often want it.
Had I not retired, this would have been my first full day of the new school year. Classroom, or these views? No contest!
