In the early afternoon, I picked Torbjörn up at the airport.

Coming straight from Sweden, 'm sure he's happy we're not sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic towards Tahoe...the good thing about driving up on a Sunday!

And off we go, along scenic hwy 88 towards Tahoe.

Near Carson pass, we pause for second.
Next morning; checking out the creek behind...

A trip down to a very pacific Lake Tahoe.

snow since last year
The beach is very inviting...even as late as on Halloween.

Do you see the all-Scandinavian furnished castle in the distance?
Fall colors over Emerald's Bay
A tea house on the little island....the only island.
Hmm...with the right glasses (that allow you to focus on distance, yet get these in focus) you'd get stereo vision out of this one.

Part of hwy 89 goes on a steep ridge between Lake Tahoe and Cascade Lake...don't look down!
Everything is getting ready for the winter sleep
The salmon have spawn and are now...perished.

We swing by the casinos in South Lake Tahoe

Yep, pretty much what you'd expect from a casino.
Winter preparations: move out that summer furniture.

heading back down hwy 50, on the afternoon of halloween
Sleeping in after an eventful weekend, greeting the new day with fresh bread breakfast in the sun.
