Lake Tahoe, California
May/ June 2010
So everyone has been asking where we have been for the past
two months? Well, we have been working on producing three
commercials which should be airing very soon. Keep posted
for this epic event! They were so cleverly designed and
we are very proud of them.
For this adventure we
decided to see how dog
friendly Lake
Tahoe is. So we loaded up and set out. The drive was
very pleasant. The dogs
held their head out the window and the temperature was soothing.
California
had an extra long winter this year and an abundance of snow
and rain so this dry and warm day felt good. I enjoy watching
the dogs smile.
Our first stop at Lake
Tahoe we let the dogs
out for a doggie
swim. They leaped in the water and paddled around a
good half hour or so. We followed that up with a short hike.
So far Lake
Tahoe was very dog
friendly. It seemed everywhere we went we were recognized.
And everyone had their pet
out for the day. We ended up at a dog
boutique at the Village Center. People came up to us
to greet Lucy and Murphy. What a great day we had. So my
recommendation is bring your dog
to Lake
Tahoe. It sure gives Carmel,
California a run for who's the
most dog friendly.

Some amazing Lake
Tahoe facts:
•Lake
Tahoe is the highest lake of its size in the United
States and the largest alpine lake in North America.
•Lake Tahoe is
as long as the English Channel is wide with the width of
Tahoe being half again as wide as San
Francisco Bay.
•With one dispersion of Lake
Tahoe's water, the State of California would be completely
covered to a depth of 14.5 inches.
•The Panama Canal (700 feet in width and 50 feet in
depth) could be filled by Lake Tahoe's water and extend
completely around the earth at the equator, with enough
remaining in the lake to fill another channel of the same
width and depth running from San Francisco to New York.
•An average 1,400,000 tons of water evaporates from
the surface of Lake Tahoe
every 24 hours, yet this drops the lake level only one-tenth
of an inch.
•If the water that evaporates from the lake every
24 hours could be recovered, it would supply the daily requirements
of a population of 3,500,000 people.
•Lake Tahoe's
water is 99.9% pure. The water is so clear that a 10 inch
white dinner plate would be visible at 75 feet below the
surface.
•There are 63 tributaries draining into Lake
Tahoe with only one outlet at the Truckee River.
•Lake Tahoe never
freezes due to the constant mass movement of water from
the bottom to the surface. In February 1989, Emerald Bay
froze over for the first time since 1952.
