Paddling on Lake Tahoe was so beautiful and tons of fun this weekend. I had two sudden unplanned swims. But that's fine! All part of the adventure.

David and Travis Shane Smith, the father-son duo charged with reckless arson in the 2021 #CaldorFire, will face preliminary hearing October 10 in El Dorado Superior Court.
They gave one-word answers to the judge when asked if they agreed to waive their speedy trial rights to allow for the delay.
The arson counts against them carry potential sentences of 6 years. There are also weapons charges in the case.

Early start today in a muggy, damp Placerville, #California… where we’ll have a status update in People vs. Smith: the #CaldorFire reckless arson case against a father-son pair.
The fire burned for weeks and forced the evacuation of most of the #LakeTahoe basin in 2021.
The 2-day preliminary hearing (mini bench trial to establish probable cause) was supposed to start tomorrow, but we expect it to be delayed. #abc10 #wildfire

We're due to swim across Tahoe tomorrow and of course there's weather now. This morning it was sunny and calm. #LakeTahoe #California #TransTahoeSwim #DamnWeather

Yesterday I did a hike on the Tahoe Rim Trail from just north of the lake to Picnic Rock. It is a popular hike, about a 750 foot (230 meter) climb to a spectacular view. #hiking #photography #LakeTahoe #TahoeRimTrail

The last day was back to #GlassBeach now that we knew where to look. The pebbled beach was a mix of tumbled glass pieces and small stones worn smooth by the endless waves. Then homebound along the scenic road towards #LakeTahoe. Did come upon a great little #BBQ joint in #Guinda.

This week started my #vacation. The first adventure was to the northwest corner of California to see the coast and the #redwoods.
We left #LakeTahoe Monday morning, took a scenic drive north to #FortBragg, stopped at #GlassBeach, then enjoyed dinner at a seafood restaurant.

Photos from Big Chief 50k Sunday. Beautiful day in the mountains. Some pretty good climbs on the course, although RRR has as much climbing in the first 5 miles as this course has in the whole race. It will be awesome. #climballthemountains #ultrarunning #laketahoe

California’s central bowl is partly flooded again after a wildly wet winter. #LakeTulare looks like the ocean, almost size of #LakeTahoe though not as deep. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/25/us/california-storms-tulare-lake.html
Enjoying summer in Tahoe before returning to winter next week in Bariloche. #laketahoe #california #nativeplants #washingtonlily #mountainpride
