I absolutely love your adventures! Being 66, and pretty much homebound, I’m seeing America through your video lens! Thank you 2, and Daisy, so much for recording your trips so everyone can see it with you. Safe travels, and as long as you post em, I’ll be watching them. Have a Great one Chad, Tara, and Daisy. Sorry, almost forgot LUCILLE.
I have lived in California for 40 years and have been to Tahoe a bazillion times and learned more about it from this one video of yours! Thank you so much!
My wife and I were in SouthFork, CO. We took our dogs for a walk and a clump of road tar was on the ground covered by grass. One of the dogs stepped in it and had it caked in her paws. We tried everything and nothing worked. We took her to a vet and the vet used Dish Soap and it came off immediately. It takes ALLOT of work but is dissolves the tar or sap immediately. It was an expensive lesson but worth it.
Chad, you are the best at backing up the fifth wheel. You need to share this knowledge!! I’d be willing to bet a lot of people would watch an updated video on how you back up a 5th wheel. I know you e made a video once, but that didn’t go into detail about how far to pull up relative the your rear axel, when to cut the wheel, when you straighten out, when do you need to pull forward and do the wiggle, etc. I love your content and miss some of your “how to’s”. You’re really good at explaining some of this stuff. Maybe it can be a UA-cam short?
Bears and smoke from Forest Fires. Welcome to The Sierra Nevada Mountains. If you want to see another high-altitude lake one of these days go south of Tahoe to Lee Vining. Camp at the Mono Vista RV Park. There is Mono Lake, Tuolumne Medows in Yosemite NP and the old mining town of Bodie all in easy driving distance. You could motorcycle to everything but Bodie. Bodie is about 15 miles off 395 with 10 miles of dirt road. The lake is just outside of the East Entrance to Yosemite. It's called Saddlebag Lake. It is beautiful there in the summer.
My wife and I are laughing because we came into California on 168. You made the right choice by turning around. We saw the warning and felt like we could totally make it. It made the million dollar highway seem like child's play. There were two mountain passes, tons of switchbacks, and some steep grades. We ended up in 3 rv caravan including our 5th wheel. The truck and trailer infront of us was really working his brakes and we could smell their brakes cooking... we had to stop at Bishop for awhile to gather our wits before continuing up to Lee Vining. Great time, the best was an unplanned trip to Lake Tahoe that actually became a highlight of the summer. The tamarack fire caused us to change our plans, but it all worked out for the better. Thanks for this! It was fun reliving our own epic summer. Another great video!
I grew up there in South Lake Tahoe. Lived in a16-foot travel trailer in summer of 1973 at the KOA which is no longer there from what I can tell. Then I lived in Al Tahoe a few blocks from the beach. for the rest of the time.
We were there the week the fire started, and by the time we left we could barely see; and we had to pull our rig along the west shore. The smoke got so bad I was wearing a mask inside the truck. Glad you got to enjoy the lake, it’s one of our favorite destinations. Cheers!
Loved your episode of Lake Tahoe!!! My grandparents retired at Lake Tahoe and I spent all of my summers with them in Lake Tahoe. The smell of the trees and sites of Lake Tahoe are beyond compare!!!
Glad to see you made it to our neck of the woods - So. Lake Tahoe is an hour east of us. We live between Placerville & Folsom on US 50. We laugh when we tell people we live in California and they immediately talk about beaches, palm trees, etc. OUR California is the Sierra Nevada Mountains and we love it here. We're thrilled you enjoyed the area. If you come out next time, stay at the Placerville KOA on US 50, spend a few days and tour Placerville (oldest hardware store west of the Mississippi - even had its own History Channel episode), the Marshall Gold Field (where the Gold Rush of 1848 started - 15 minutes north of Placerville), the Folsom Prison and Old Town Sacramento, where the Pony Express terminated. Love you guys and hope to see you in person some day on the road!
Tahoe is all Golf, skiing, hikes, water skiing, boating, and gondola ride to top of mountain and drive around the lake. Truckee across the lake to the west.
Love the video! I live about 20 minutes from South Lake Tahoe in Gardnerville, NV. Ernie's restaurant actually used to be where Bert's is now. Then Ernie built the new restaurant across the street and Bert moved into Ernie's previous location. They are friends. :)
We have watched hundreds of videos of rvers and just love you guys. We are now certain that we are going full time because of your informational videos that have helped us understand the important things to do. The best thing we like about you guys over anyone else is that you actually show video of where you have been, so that we can see where we want to go, I hope we get to meet you on the road.
Excellent video - Thanks. The next time you’re in the Tahoe are, visit Donner Memorial State park. It’s about 45-minutes North. It commemorates the Donner party who got shut in by a big winter storm in 1846-1847.
Thanks to California for their annual Wildfires and smoke drift across all the states. Causes of air polution, respiratory health. Some Forest management, selective cutting could prevent. Beautiful footage, Tahoe gorgeous👍
We lived in Tahoe for two years and have a family cabin there in South Lake, now own a home about an hour away in NV. Every time I see a show highlighting the Lake from one of my fave UA-cam Channels, it renews my love for it! Hope you enjoyed our second home!
Loved your video of Tahoe. My wife and I are camp hosts in Utah (Timpooneke Campground - American Fork Canyon). Our RV and Truck is parked under several pine tree's for the summer and we get pine sap falling on or rig and truck all the time. The best way we have found to get the pine sap off our truck, RV, hands, fur & clothing is hand sanitizer. Most campers we talk to being camp hosts have never heard of that but it works great. Hopefully this will help you if Daisy gets into the sap again or you need to get it off of your rigs.
When I saw your poor baby’s feet, all though I felt bad for her at the same time I couldn’t stop laughing 😂 and her first attempt that shoes! Hysterical…
The Mainer's Guide to Removing Sap: rubbing alcohol and products like hand sanitizer and nail polish remover, which contain a high concentration of alcohol are great for removing sap.
Lake Tahoe is absolutely beautiful. We took a cruise on the Rum Runner which took us into Emerald Bay. And yes they serve rum. Also we took a day trip down to Virginia City which was an amazing place to visit. We can't wait to go again. Thanks guy's for all you do.
The booties are a great, however as a K9 handler you have to train the dog to work with them. Making them run in them is the easiest way to get them to accept them quickly. Keep putting them on her randomly. She’ll just accept them one day. They are also good for hot pavement.
If y’all are ever up the 395 again you must stop at a couple of spots along the way..any one of the numerous campgrounds along the way such as Convict Lake etc. the junction at 395/120 has a gas station that also has the best food along the way . (120 is the east entrance to Yosemite…it’s called the “Whoa Nellie Deli” in Lee Vining…so much you passed along the way. Mammoth, Bridgeport Twin Lakes(Annetes Mono Village is a beautiful RV park..
Tara you nailed the editing and the music. I love this format where you two sit in the kitchen and give us so much more details on your trip. Thank you for sharing. We will definitely be heading to Tahoe. Chad makes it look way to easy to maneuver that rig in crazy spots. Or is it just the editing….lol
We're starting later this year, we can't wait. When Tara stole the fries, I said yup! That's what my wife would do! You should take daisy on your bike rides. I built a little shelf on my wife's bike. Then I strapped on an old milk crate with a pad inside of it. Our little girl Jamie rode with us on the trails. She had her car seat harness on and it was strapped to the bike. She loved it and never tried to jump out. I have videos of our rides with her. I'm glad I have them to remember her by.
Can't knock the ladies of the night. One of the oldest professions. Even goes back to bible times😭😂🤣. Also they always have a hot cup of coffee going out in the middle of the desert around Nevada. I know the one outside of Las Vegas even has a runway for a plane. Once saved a couple of peoples live because they monitor the cb radio out there. Was a bad accident and they summoned the EMS team. By the way since you went to long way around and came in the back side of Reno. When traveling between Fallon, Nevada and Tonapha don't be surprised when a F18 or F22 does a straphing or bombing run on you. Fallon, Nevada is the Navy's training area. Safe travels and roads. Brian and Cindy , "xtreambydesign with passion"
Throughly enjoy your channel. Have learned so much prior to & since we went essentially full time two years ago. May the road gods treat well & please continue to share.
To get sticky stuff off of Daisy or anything valuable, there is a product called "UnDo". Crafters (especially card makers, framers and scrapbookers) use it to fix mistakes. You can find it on Amazon, AC Moore or sometimes local craft stores.
I said out loud LIKE A BOSS with your u turn, as Tara did! Better there than on a hairpin, (I think of Tail of the Dragon!!). Smart man turning around.
Yay, finally some motorcycle ride video. The look of awe on Tara's face while riding the ridge top, priceless. Keep up the good work, love you guys and your videos.
Thanks for this video of my home town! I live just outside of South Lake Tahoe in Christmas Valley. And yep, the fires were crazy bad this last year. After the Tamarak fire which was 30 miles south of town, the Caldor fire was much larger and came right through town. The whole town was evacuated. Scary. But, right this minute, it's snowing and blowing, but Lake Tahoe is beautiful in winter as well as summer. Cheers
OMG! I live around trees that spit all over my yard! I can relate with the pitchy feet! I use straight alcohol. They don't like the smells but it works like a charm !💕
I haven't watched all of your youtube videos, but I knew that Chad was in the Navy. In this video, I see that you were an AT2 in an E2C squadron. I'm a retired ATC. My carrier Deployments with VQ-6 included the final cruises and the USS Saratoga and USS America. Great job on these videos. I'm glad to see that your skills as an AT have come in handy in the full time RV world. We own a 2017 KV Venom 4013K. We have been traveling mostly locally since we bought it in Aug 2016 (approx 15K miles). We are now both fully retired and are planning on hitting many of the destinations that you have been to. Hope to see you on the road!
Lots to see and do there, but we felt 2 days was enough. We got to tour Vikingsholm castle in Emeralds bay which was interesting. There is also the remains of a stone tea house on the little island in the bay. Also, there is a very old Bonanza tv episode that was filmed at the lake which features the old paddle boat. They filmed some of the tv show north of the lake in Nevada.
Thank you! What a beautiful area. Your editing shows us the best that is out there. Great job Tara. We appreciate your hard work. Poor Daisy. Stay safe.
I just got through watching your video about going to South Lake Tahoe Highway 168 would have taken you back to Death Valley. Very steep Highway. You should have taken Highway 360 off of Highway 6. Would have shorten you trip by 20 miles. It is the truck route from Highway 6 to US95N. Have no idea were you found the rest stop on US50. US50 is 4 lane Highway to South Lake Tahoe. Enjoyed your video.
Just hard to describe the Tahoe vibe, My wife and I took our 17 year out there in 2016 after she graduated high school.... what memories we have! Hope you drive over to Carson city then up to Reno!
Brings back memories of our vacation to North Lake Tahoe. It's just gorgeous. We got to go swimming because we have a friend from Reno that took us over the Sierra Mtns to a place at the lake that he went all his life. Lake Sardine is great too, but not sure you can make it in your rig. Check out though .
I bought a 43 foot fith wheel a little over a year ago and have 9 trips planned with my wife and 3 daughters over this year and next. Lake Tahoe is on the list. Just wanted to let you two know that when I first started working on being an RVer, a few years ago, I found you guys here and you were the most helpful to me with my research and educating myself, out of all of the sources that I looked at. I'm sorry to say that I have not watch every video but am still a fan and hope to see you in a campsite one day so I can say hi in person. BUT, with that said, I loved this video and you two have really stepped it up over the years! Your videos get better and better. Truly enjoyed watching this and just wanted to let you know how much you have helped me the last few years because I got my initial RV education from you and now I get to see wonderful destinations from you guys so I can add them to my list. So keep up the good work, and hope to see you on the road one of these days! Thanks, David
Bear are cool! We have here in North Carolina in the east and western part of the State. Known fact, there are more bears in Eastern North Carolina than the Western portion due to the the wetlands. We went camping in Pennsylvania when my boys were young and there were a lot bear around there too (North Jersey around High Point and along the Delaware River on the PA side).
Enjoyed the video and personalized view of the Lake Tahoe area. Doreen and I were there 45 years ago and hope to revisit again with our RV. Poor little Daisy just didn't like those doggy booties. We tried those with our chihuahua mix for walking in the snow, ice and rock salt with a similar result.
This was such a fun video to watch. We came down into Tahoe the opposite direction last April (2021) and we came very close to the same things you did. We stayed in South Lake Tahoe too. We stayed at Zephyr Cove. We even got a little dusting of snow. My sister lives there and took us on a tour of they Lake, just like you did on the Motorcycle. We even stopped for lunch at the same place (yummy). On our way home we stopped at the same campground in Lone Pine. It was a great place to stop. Thank you sharing you trip, it brought back some wonderful memories.
What a great description of the Lake Tahoe area...If you ever come back, you have to stop in Camp Richardson at the Beacon...Beautiful restaurant on the beach, lake front...Great food, Famous "Rum Runners" and bands on the weekends in the summer...I live close and go to Tahoe often and even I learned a few things from the video...Great Job & Thanks!!
live in Reno we have been to that camp ground a bunch of times.....Tahoe is awesome.glad you guys got to see it.you made it just before they evacuated that whole end of town
We feel your pain with the fires. Spring of 2021 we were going to Sedona AZ and as we were driving up from Phoenix we saw a bunch of smoke coming up in the distance. When we got off the highway and drove down the road to the campground we came up to the fire. We were not able to get to the campground due to the fire being 0.5miles from the campground.
Lived in the area for 40+ years. Spots to see next time: Angora Lakes - small 1 mile hike, Eagle Falls hike at the back of Emerald Bay, Fire Sign restaraunt in Tahoe City for Breakfast (eggs benny), Garwoods on North shore - Lunch / Dinner, Zephyr Cove (walk on the beach with a Mai Tai), Camp Richardson Beacon Restaraunt (Rum Runner), Riva Grill lake side dinning (Wet Woody), Heavenly Gondola ride to the top of the mountain runs yearround.... Tahoe Valley Campground wouldn't be my first choice - Zephyr Cove, Camp Richardson both have full hookups or Nevada Beach and Fallen Leaf Lake Campgrounds with no hookups are better spots. You drove past Fallen Leaf - looks small but there's a number of pull through sites that would fit your rig. Lake Tahoe is one place that renting a boat is worth it even if you don't Water Ski - Looks like you had fun driving over Kingsburry Grade (Hw - 207) to get to the lake - that was my comute to work for over 20 years...
You two inspire us! We are about to take our shakedown cruise in our fourth rv, a 40’ fifth wheel. We started with a popup, then 25’ travel trailer, 30 foot travel trailer, 30’ class C. Big learning curve on our fifth wheel. BTW, I am 74 years old and a retired Army officer.
California fires are getting pretty bad every year. Triple axles not friendly for tight maneuvers. Rest area not “arrest area” 😂. Unplanned excursions require different thinking, especially if you are a planner. Sounds like the park took “thousand trails” literally. I hope you get return and enjoy CA 395 from Lone Pine going north. Nice travel video. Thank you for sharing and have a great day..
As many times as I get up there (about twice a YEAR) we were actually in Reno when Covid started. love Tahoe, I have a bunch of cousins that live in the area, within minutes from the lake. We all have road our Harleys around the area every time I come up. Missed one time due to fires. We have stayed at 6 different places around the lake and loved every one of them. stayed in a cabin at Camp Richardson one year, the lock on the door was so bad a bear could have Easly pushed it open, but it was still great. the last few trips we would take an excursion from the campsite and Go to Battle Born in Reno to pick up batteries. now that we have 6, we are holding off for a while. might get 4 more later. this is the First time I have ever seen a brothel in Nevada in person or on the TV Screen. heard about them a lot but never really went out of my way to see one either. Never get tired of Lake Tahoe. by the way, great drone footage going over the tunnel at the end of the video.
Gimme a Break, Gimme a Break, break me off a piece of that Kit Kat Ranch, rim shot, LOL. On a more serious note, I miss riding my bike. When I was in Alaska, I would find time to put about 5000 miles a year on my Kawasaki. Sadly, when I moved back home a long long time ago, I grew weary of having to direct traffic at every stop sign, to keep from getting run over, and sold it. My son loves his bike and rides a lot in the Hampton Roads area.
Sweet Lake Tahoe...been there several times and in the surrounding areas over the years. These days, it's totally not affordable to live there as is Yellowstone, WY due to the millionaires who have migrated there causing sales prices to go up and up. It's really sad because those folks tend to want to modernize things and change the originality of what Tahoe always represented for decades. Too much tourism has also put a good dent into the heritage that has always existed there. It's such a spectacular area, the deep clear blue water, the tall pine trees/forest etc. is so amazing. Winter is another great time especially snow skiing in Stateline and on Heavenly Valley mountain. Truly a place to experience all 4 seasons in great depth. Zippo (Naphtha) lighter fluid will dissolve/remove sap 1,2,3. Then a nice bath.
We live at the north end of Lake Tahoe. The lake loop is a great bucket list motorcycle ride (preferably spring or fall), but if you're ever back, there are dozens of other day rides in the area that we love to take our Harley on. Kayaking on the lake or a day at the beach, hiking to the area mountain tops. We never get tired of ending an RV trip by coming home to Tahoe!
Love your channel. We purchased a Outlaw last year so that we could travel with our Harleys. Great to see you guys having so much fun with both the RV and the motorcycles. If you ever get up to Ontario Canada love to have you join us on a ride
I absolutely love your adventures! Being 66, and pretty much homebound, I’m seeing America through your video lens! Thank you 2, and Daisy, so much for recording your trips so everyone can see it with you. Safe travels, and as long as you post em, I’ll be watching them. Have a Great one Chad, Tara, and Daisy. Sorry, almost forgot LUCILLE.
Definitely prettier when all the smoke clears!

Welcome to our channel! 😊
Camp Richardson is the site for Valhalla, a VERY nice Renaissance Faire. We've had some of our favorite weekends there!
Northern Ca has lots of bears. They especially love your coolers.
love south lake Tahoe. started school there in 1975, and put mom's ashes in the lake at sand harbour
you just feel more free in the west👍👍
Chad, you are the best at backing up the fifth wheel. You need to share this knowledge!! I’d be willing to bet a lot of people would watch an updated video on how you back up a 5th wheel.

You’re really good at explaining some of this stuff. Maybe it can be a UA-cam short?
We have been considering an update to the towing video.. 👍🏼
A ton of things to do in the Lake Tahoe area and lots more all around. Sooo beautiful. The daisy boots are the best.
Best part of camping in an RV….neighbors come and go.!
Bears and smoke from Forest Fires. Welcome to The Sierra Nevada Mountains. If you want to see another high-altitude lake one of these days go south of Tahoe to Lee Vining.

I lived in South Lake Tahoe for 6 years in the 1980’s. So beautiful!
I lived Incline Village and worked at Kings Castle 🤣🤣through the 80s lol .
We were there the week the fire started, and by the time we left we could barely see; and we had to pull our rig along the west shore. The smoke got so bad I was wearing a mask inside the truck. Glad you got to enjoy the lake, it’s one of our favorite destinations. Cheers!
We were lucky to catch the tail end of the fire! 👍🏼

By the way since you went to long way around and came in the back side of Reno.

My favorite thing about camping is always the basketball court 😅.
Wonderful video of a beautiful place, Lake Tahoe. The Sierra's are one of my favorite places on earth! Thank you!
Throughly enjoy your channel. Have learned so much prior to & since we went essentially full time two years ago. May the road gods treat well & please continue to share.
Beautiful video! Poor Daisy. Always something. Thanks!
To get sticky stuff off of Daisy or anything valuable, there is a product called "UnDo". Crafters (especially card makers, framers and scrapbookers) use it to fix mistakes. You can find it on Amazon, AC Moore or sometimes local craft stores.
She just laid there like a good pup while you cut out the sap. Too funny
We love watching your travels. easily in our top two favorite channels. Very informative with entertainment value. Stay well and safe travels.
I said out loud LIKE A BOSS with your u turn, as Tara did! Better there than on a hairpin, (I think of Tail of the Dragon!!). Smart man turning around.
O M G..Sooo glad ur back. U two make the best videos together. Tara does such an awesome job editing and picking music.
That parking job was Fantastic. I park a 31 ft TT and you made this parking a work of art
Poor Daisy - but what a good girl she was just laying there while getting her paws taken care of! Tahoe looked beautiful.
Yay, finally some motorcycle ride video. The look of awe on Tara's face while riding the ridge top, priceless.
Keep up the good work, love you guys and your videos.
Thanks for this video of my home town! I live just outside of South Lake Tahoe in Christmas Valley. And yep, the fires were crazy bad this last year. After the Tamarak fire which was 30 miles south of town, the Caldor fire was much larger and came right through town. The whole town was evacuated. Scary. But, right this minute, it's snowing and blowing, but Lake Tahoe is beautiful in winter as well as summer. Cheers
This was a beautiful video of the lake and surrounding area. I love those booties that Daisy had.
Pine sap comes off with oil-based solvent, cedar sap comes off with water - it's sugar!
It’s great watching from the bikes perspective
One of my favorite places. Great motorcycle riding place and awesome place to kayak
OMG! I live around trees that spit all over my yard! I can relate with the pitchy feet!
I use straight alcohol. They don't like the smells but it works like a charm !💕
I haven't watched all of your youtube videos, but I knew that Chad was in the Navy. In this video, I see that you were an AT2 in an E2C squadron. I'm a retired ATC. My carrier Deployments with VQ-6 included the final cruises and the USS Saratoga and USS America. Great job on these videos. I'm glad to see that your skills as an AT have come in handy in the full time RV world. We own a 2017 KV Venom 4013K. We have been traveling mostly locally since we bought it in Aug 2016 (approx 15K miles). We are now both fully retired and are planning on hitting many of the destinations that you have been to. Hope to see you on the road!
I grew up in Northern California. We had a cabin in Lake Tahoe growing up. I love how beautiful it is. Too crowded now.
Our oldest daughter and her family live in South Lake Tahoe (NV side) We always stay in Carson City at Silver City RV on 395.
Hello from Denmark 🇩🇰 you guys, must have a god weekend🍷
Lots to see and do there, but we felt 2 days was enough. We got to tour Vikingsholm castle in Emeralds bay which was interesting. There is also the remains of a stone tea house on the little island in the bay.
Also, there is a very old Bonanza tv episode that was filmed at the lake which features the old paddle boat. They filmed some of the tv show north of the lake in Nevada.
Thank you! What a beautiful area. Your editing shows us the best that is out there. Great job Tara. We appreciate your hard work. Poor Daisy. Stay safe.
Thank you. I appreciate that you take time to read comments. Stay safe. Hi, Daisy.
Vegetable oil next time for the sap. Let soak & knead through. Worked wonders on my daughter when she was a youngster when she got into some tar. 😘
I just got through watching your video about going to South Lake Tahoe Highway 168 would have taken you back to Death Valley. Very steep Highway. You should have taken Highway 360 off of Highway 6. Would have shorten you trip by 20 miles. It is the truck route from Highway 6 to US95N. Have no idea were you found the rest stop on US50. US50 is 4 lane Highway to South Lake Tahoe. Enjoyed your video.
Really enjoy this format, was missing it!! Thanks for your Channel, we really like watching and trying to hit all the places that you go.
Just hard to describe the Tahoe vibe, My wife and I took our 17 year out there in 2016 after she graduated high school....
what memories we have! Hope you drive over to Carson city then up to Reno!
Brings back memories of our vacation to North Lake Tahoe. It's just gorgeous. We got to go swimming because we have a friend from Reno that took us over the Sierra Mtns to a place at the lake that he went all his life. Lake Sardine is great too, but not sure you can make it in your rig. Check out though .
I think Dawn dishwashing soap might take the sap out. It’s worth a try. That’s what they use to clean birds after an oil spill.
I bought a 43 foot fith wheel a little over a year ago and have 9 trips planned with my wife and 3 daughters over this year and next. Lake Tahoe is on the list. Just wanted to let you two know that when I first started working on being an RVer, a few years ago, I found you guys here and you were the most helpful to me with my research and educating myself, out of all of the sources that I looked at. I'm sorry to say that I have not watch every video but am still a fan and hope to see you in a campsite one day so I can say hi in person. BUT, with that said, I loved this video and you two have really stepped it up over the years! Your videos get better and better. Truly enjoyed watching this and just wanted to let you know how much you have helped me the last few years because I got my initial RV education from you and now I get to see wonderful destinations from you guys so I can add them to my list. So keep up the good work, and hope to see you on the road one of these days! Thanks, David
Thanks, David! 😊
Bear are cool! We have here in North Carolina in the east and western part of the State. Known fact, there are more bears in Eastern North Carolina than the Western portion due to the the wetlands. We went camping in Pennsylvania when my boys were young and there were a lot bear around there too (North Jersey around High Point and along the Delaware River on the PA side).
Glad to see you had a chance to get back out on the bike. Great shots.
yup a ueeyyy can be done Great Job. you mean you parked in that Bears site...LOL beautiful
Enjoyed the video and personalized view of the Lake Tahoe area. Doreen and I were there 45 years ago and hope to revisit again with our RV. Poor little Daisy just didn't like those doggy booties. We tried those with our chihuahua mix for walking in the snow, ice and rock salt with a similar result.
This was such a fun video to watch. We came down into Tahoe the opposite direction last April (2021) and we came very close to the same things you did. We stayed in South Lake Tahoe too. We stayed at Zephyr Cove. We even got a little dusting of snow. My sister lives there and took us on a tour of they Lake, just like you did on the Motorcycle. We even stopped for lunch at the same place (yummy). On our way home we stopped at the same campground in Lone Pine. It was a great place to stop. Thank you sharing you trip, it brought back some wonderful memories.
What a great description of the Lake Tahoe area...If you ever come back, you have to stop in Camp Richardson at the Beacon...Beautiful restaurant on the beach, lake front...Great food, Famous "Rum Runners" and bands on the weekends in the summer...I live close and go to Tahoe often and even I learned a few things from the video...Great Job & Thanks!!
live in Reno we have been to that camp ground a bunch of times.....Tahoe is awesome.glad you guys got to see it.you made it just before they evacuated that whole end of town
We loved driving around Lake Tahoe! Emerald Bay is gorgeous! Glad you were able to do that.
We feel your pain with the fires. Spring of 2021 we were going to Sedona AZ and as we were driving up from Phoenix we saw a bunch of smoke coming up in the distance. When we got off the highway and drove down the road to the campground we came up to the fire. We were not able to get to the campground due to the fire being 0.5miles from the campground.
Aww sweet Daisy 💜
Great video, thanks for taking us along. Really can’t believe you didn’t want to see the rest area…..lol
Lived in the area for 40+ years. Spots to see next time: Angora Lakes - small 1 mile hike, Eagle Falls hike at the back of Emerald Bay, Fire Sign restaraunt in Tahoe City for Breakfast (eggs benny), Garwoods on North shore - Lunch / Dinner, Zephyr Cove (walk on the beach with a Mai Tai), Camp Richardson Beacon Restaraunt (Rum Runner), Riva Grill lake side dinning (Wet Woody), Heavenly Gondola ride to the top of the mountain runs yearround.... Tahoe Valley Campground wouldn't be my first choice - Zephyr Cove, Camp Richardson both have full hookups or Nevada Beach and Fallen Leaf Lake Campgrounds with no hookups are better spots. You drove past Fallen Leaf - looks small but there's a number of pull through sites that would fit your rig. Lake Tahoe is one place that renting a boat is worth it even if you don't Water Ski - Looks like you had fun driving over Kingsburry Grade (Hw - 207) to get to the lake - that was my comute to work for over 20 years...
You two inspire us! We are about to take our shakedown cruise in our fourth rv, a 40’ fifth wheel. We started with a popup, then 25’ travel trailer, 30 foot travel trailer, 30’ class C. Big learning curve on our fifth wheel. BTW, I am 74 years old and a retired Army officer.
Safe Travels and Thank you for your service! 🇺🇸
Such beautiful country! We haven't been out there since 2013 but hope to go back before too long.
California fires are getting pretty bad every year. Triple axles not friendly for tight maneuvers. Rest area not “arrest area” 😂. Unplanned excursions require different thinking, especially if you are a planner. Sounds like the park took “thousand trails” literally. I hope you get return and enjoy CA 395 from Lone Pine going north. Nice travel video. Thank you for sharing and have a great day..
I was waiting for, and disappointed not to see, any mention of The Ponderosa! It covered most of the northeast side of Lake Tahoe.
Next time! 😊
As many times as I get up there (about twice a YEAR) we were actually in Reno when Covid started. love Tahoe, I have a bunch of cousins that live in the area, within minutes from the lake. We all have road our Harleys around the area every time I come up. Missed one time due to fires. We have stayed at 6 different places around the lake and loved every one of them. stayed in a cabin at Camp Richardson one year, the lock on the door was so bad a bear could have Easly pushed it open, but it was still great. the last few trips we would take an excursion from the campsite and Go to Battle Born in Reno to pick up batteries. now that we have 6, we are holding off for a while. might get 4 more later. this is the First time I have ever seen a brothel in Nevada in person or on the TV Screen. heard about them a lot but never really went out of my way to see one either. Never get tired of Lake Tahoe. by the way, great drone footage going over the tunnel at the end of the video.
Quite enjoyed that.
Nice people, informative, good quality footage, nicely edited and she's not bad looking either 😉.
All the best you two.
Gimme a Break, Gimme a Break, break me off a piece of that Kit Kat Ranch, rim shot, LOL. On a more serious note, I miss riding my bike. When I was in Alaska, I would find time to put about 5000 miles a year on my Kawasaki. Sadly, when I moved back home a long long time ago, I grew weary of having to direct traffic at every stop sign, to keep from getting run over, and sold it. My son loves his bike and rides a lot in the Hampton Roads area.
Clear blue sky days were rare last summer. I live in Tahoe. I'm happy for you that you had such a great day for a motorcycle ride. Gorgeous.
We love Lake Tahoe
Sweet Lake Tahoe...been there several times and in the surrounding areas over the years. These days, it's totally not affordable to live there as is Yellowstone, WY due to the millionaires who have migrated there causing sales prices to go up and up. It's really sad because those folks tend to want to modernize things and change the originality of what Tahoe always represented for decades. Too much tourism has also put a good dent into the heritage that has always existed there. It's such a spectacular area, the deep clear blue water, the tall pine trees/forest etc. is so amazing. Winter is another great time especially snow skiing in Stateline and on Heavenly Valley mountain. Truly a place to experience all 4 seasons in great depth.
Zippo (Naphtha) lighter fluid will dissolve/remove sap 1,2,3. Then a nice bath.
Absolutely love this video!
We live at the north end of Lake Tahoe. The lake loop is a great bucket list motorcycle ride (preferably spring or fall), but if you're ever back, there are dozens of other day rides in the area that we love to take our Harley on. Kayaking on the lake or a day at the beach, hiking to the area mountain tops. We never get tired of ending an RV trip by coming home to Tahoe!
you guys are great. Thanks for all the beautiful videos. wow wow wow
I am such a fan...great show!
Love your channel. We purchased a Outlaw last year so that we could travel with our Harleys. Great to see you guys having so much fun with both the RV and the motorcycles. If you ever get up to Ontario Canada love to have you join us on a ride
