Friday, June 3 - Zephyr Cove Resort, Zephyr Cove, NV - 205 miles - 8679.8 for the trip
We headed out for Lake Tahoe this morning. Although there were lots of ways to get there, we decided to take CA 70 since it was marked as a "Scenic" drive on our AAA map. It was a pretty drive, much of along rivers & valleys.
The final leg of the trip wasn't all that exciting. We stopped at a Safeway for some food for the next couple of days, and filled the fridge. When we pulled off to take a photo of Lake Tahoe & noticed the fridge was getting a bit too warm (I have a inside/outside thermometer inside it) so I jumped in the trailer to turn down the temperature and almost broke my neck sliding across the trailer.
The door for the storage cabinet over the sink popped open. I think the jar of pasta sauce we just bought knocked it open when we hit a very rough section of road. No, the glass jar of pasta sauce didn't break, but a small plastic bottle of olive oil fell out, popped the top & proceeded to drain all over the bed, floor, my laundry basket of clothes, and anything that it could find! Went through a full roll of paper towels, tried a number of things to wash the floor & found Dawn dishwashing detergent worked best. So, other than a couple of pairs of shorts (that are too big anyway) that won't clean, and the door mat that can't be rescued, everything is cleaned up.

Should be an interesting night. The Zephyr Cove Campground, oops, "Resort" office crew (we are in site 127) told us to expect it to be about 27°F in the early morning. We are at 6200' and although it warms up quickly, the nights get cold. The campground is just over the California border in Nevada. If it gets too cold, we will find a way to fit all of us in the trailer. I'm going to feel guilty turning on the furnace while they are in the tent!
