Today I went to Tahoe City and went up the "easy" trail on the Tahoe Rim Trail for about three miles up and three miles back. I took several pictures of the lake, of the trail, and of a lizard. It is a very pretty trail. What's laughable is these hikes at 6,000-7,000 or more feet are considered "easy." They aren't because of the altitude.

This is Kevin Swisher, we met on the trail at the...
