Fallen Leaf Campground

We arrived here on July 8, for one week.  We stay here every summer for one week and love it.  We did have bears travelling in our campground almost every day while there.  We attended a comedy improv at the Valhalla which was very childish and we left during the intermission.  We also attended a Broadway Blues venue which was entertaining but a little amateurish at the Valhalla also.  In the past we have been very satisfied with the performances there.  We took our usual fifty mile drive around Lake Tahoe and also took a short trip to Truckee and walked through the historic district with Buddy.  We stopped along the Truckee River and watched the rafters paddling by and Buddy got a little swim tethered to his leash.  I did take out the kayak one day on Fallen Leaf Lake.  It was a little windy and had nearly one foot chop.  I did not stay out long as it was tough paddling in the waves.  I did swim in the lake two days and I guessed the temperature of the water was about 68 degrees, warm for this lake.  Buddy did get a swim in Fallen Leaf Lake and Lake Tahoe.  Weather was beautiful all week with the exception of a thunderstorm one afternoon.  We have been sleeping in till almost 9 am every day.  We also went to Harrah's Casino one day and enjoyed watching Arty the Party, a disc jockey, who is very entertaining during a special event for all the celebrities and NBC executives who televised the golf tournament that was going on while we were there.  All the tables were reserved inside the event but there were hundreds of people outside the barricades along with us.  I have rated this park before and nothing has changed - it is a federal park with only dry camping.  I have included a selfie of Aggie and I at Lake Tahoe and a picture of a grove of beautiful blue wild flowers near Fallen Leaf Lake.
