We end up here every year and this year is no exception. We were able to stay at our favorite campground, Fallen leaf campground. I have rated it before so you can check some of my numerous posts on this campground. We arrived August 11 for one full week and it was unusually very relaxing as we spent more time than usual inside the campground. The lake was as low as I have ever seen it and the raft companies were out of business this year as very little water was trickling down the Truckee river. Shortly after we arrived a thunderstorm came through and pelted us with hail. We could not get reservations for the full week in one campsite as we did not book until April, so we had to pick up and move to another site one day. I could not pick up satellite reception at either location and could not get over the air programming either.
We visited many of our usual stops along the lake and did drive around the lake one day which took a little longer than usual as there was some construction going on and they reduced the speed limits around the lake by 5 mph. We tailgated the Bruno Mars concert at Harvey's Casino one night as we could not afford the $140 per person entry fee. The concert was basically sold out and people were parking on streets for over a mile away partying. We were standing just outside the entrance and could partially see one of the overhead screens. While he put on a good show, we left early to enjoy a Coldstone Creamery ice cream.
