The scenery at Lake Tahoe was magnificent - even on the way there, we were oohing and aahing like country folks in the city! We did not realise how high the ranges were that we needed to get over before we began our trip. All of a sudden, it was 3000 feet, 4000 feet… up to 7000 feet, which for you metric-ans, is 2133.6 metres! Mt Kosciuszko is only 2228 metres (7310 feet) and is the highest mountain in Australia!
The views as we drove up to Tahoe were spectacular. We saw lots of snow-covered mountains, gorgeous pine trees and the cutest houses and cabins, some still half-covered in snow. It looked so peaceful. Then we came to the peak of the drive, and we could see in the distance a huge lake surrounded by more snowy mountains. A windy trip downhill and we were in South Lake Tahoe for a quick McDonald’s stop (just in the carpark this time) to check where we could have our first night in the RV.
We found a snowy clearing and there we camped. It was cold, but we survived and despite Will’s brother thinking Betsey looked like something out of a horror movie, no axe murderer got us that night. I was still a bit nervous though and it took me a little while to fall asleep. Also we forgot to buy a corkscrew, so no red wine for us L
