Lake Tahoe

Bay City, Texas

Weather: low 60 degrees, high 68 degrees, mostly cloudy skies, light showers

One of the places that Carolyn always wanted to visit was Lake Tahoe, which is located on the Nevada/California state line. We went to the lake from the Carson City area, since we were staying at an RV park just south of Carson City. We had to cross a mountain to get to the lake, but I can't remember the name of it. The lake is located at an elevation of about 6200 feet, and is the second deepest lake in North America at 1,645 feet deep. What attracted our eyes were the mountains on the opposite side of the lake, and the beautiful color of the lake's water. Was the visit worth the effort? Absolutely!



At work, we continued our preparations for the shutdown coming up in less than three weeks. Schedule reviews, action item list reviews and closings, tracking the work we have occurring at this time..... Enough planning! Let's do it!

The traffic at work is getting worse by the day as more and more people arrive to support the shutdown. About 300 people will be supporting the project I'm working on, and another 1,000 or so will be here to support the refueling efforts and other activities going on. That's a lot of people coming to the area for about two months, and a big boost to the economy. As an example, the RV park where we're staying usually has about 15 spaces rented. At this time, they have about 40 spaces rented, and I'm sure more will come in before the shutdown starts.

Carolyn had another nice meal prepared for supper. I may have to reciprocate and cook one night. That means I ask the question, "Where would you like to go for supper, Dear"?

More later, be safe.
