2007 Trip to Lake Tahoe

Joan and I (Ted) were invited to join friends of ours in a trip to the South Lake Tahoe area... we stayed in their time-share...The Ridges. It's our third venture to the area and we continue to enjoy it immensely. I hope you enjoy the photos as well.
Consider using the slideshow (button is in the upper right) to view the snapshots and comments.
