After leaving Cedarville, we continued to travel south on 395, then zigged and zagged through Truckee and onto Tahoe. The unfortunate thing is, we still have many fires burning in California leaving our skies and mountain tops smokey. I was driving or I would have gotten a photo of Lake Tahoe itself. The smoke was so thick that we couldn't see across nor half way across the lake. The photo below was taken at 7:21 pm...the smoke muted the brightness of the sun and it appeared a pink rather than an orange color from the smoke...a little strange looking.
The next morning we arose to clearer skies and we were on our way home (Carson River below)...
...by way of Grover Hot Spring State Park! Absolutely beautiful and we enjoyed the soaking and swimming pools at 9:30 a.m. This was another find Cliff came upon on the internet. We are so glad we found it. We were one of the first to use the pools and leave before many campers came across the meadow to use the facilities. If you are ever in the area, try it! It was wonderful and who could beat the serenity or the price? Only $5 each for the whole day if you liked. For more information:

All good things must come to an end, I'm told. We arrived home, and we will cherish our memories of family gatherings, visiting friends and new places explored. Cliff and I are very thankful for a safe, healthy, beautiful and fun vacation! We give God the glory!
