 Yes... Ted takes you there... the trip begins in Ted's capable hands. |
 Hey, look, there's TED!! (Note: our hosts -- Ray and Cid -- who invited us to join them at their timeshare - The Ridge Resort) |
 It's good to fly with TED! (the guy on the right) |
 Ted is HAPPY to bring a RAY of sunshine. |
 Yep... you the man! |
 Ted tickets are all set. |
 Having arrived at South Lake Tahoe, Ray and Ted take a walk up the trail on the Carson Valley side. |
 And more trail. |
 The valley from above. |
 Pretty stuff up here. |
 A short cruise... "Let's see," Ray says, "What am I forgetting?" |
 Ray must have gone to check out the lunch buffet... |
 ...and we haven't even left the dock yet. |
 On our way. |
 Local competition... another tour boat... but WE'RE faster than the ol' paddle boat. |
 Let's see, check out my nautical knowledge... the POINTY end goes first. |
 Top of the cabin... a guy needs a cabin on a boat... actually, it's only to roof over the living room. |
 Rocks on the other side. |
 Pensive peering (piering?) upon the rock formations. |
 Hey, this looks like the last shot... lots of pensive peering. |
 It is beautiful here. |
 And a beautiful Goelzer nose. |
 whew... the sights continue to come. |
 It's back.... we arrive in Emerald Bay and the paddlewheel is there. |
 Emerald Bay has some sentinal mountains. |
 Coming up to the Norse House... or viking palace... or whatever it's called... oh yes... Viking Home Castle!! |
 A closer look reveals some rennovation work. |
 The swimming area. |
 Again... |
 The ol' tea house on the island. |
 We begin heading back, out of Emerald Bay, into Lake Tahoe, and back to the dock. |
 The luncheon and the "Lutheran Libations" continue. |
 A distant look at Heavenly Ski Area. |
 Joan and I might put in a bid for this little house. |
 Back ashore... the 70 foot vessel we rode. |
 The next adventure... the Reno Air Races... |
 Some T-6 planes lining up for a race. |
 More T-6's... How many race? (around ten or so) |
 A pair of Mustangs (unlimited class). |
 The Jelly Belly plane lands on a truck. |
 Kent Pieche's stunt plane... look for the Jelly Belly designs. |
 The start of a race. |
 Sport Planes taking a sharp corner. |
 Another class - the jets. Sadly, we watched one of the jets spin into the ground in the next jet race... |
 I know... blurry... it's hard to get those guys... three military planes in formation in a flyby to honor the military. |
 Another race start. |
 Ray and Cid... hmmm... will we find this event interesting? Yup... at least as good as the camel races we saw 2 years ago. |
 Larry and Marianne. |
 A look at the Ridges Plaza (glint in the middle of the ridge) from Carson Valley. |
 A look from the Ridges Plaza back to where I took the previous picture (in Carson Valley... of Kit Carson fame.) |
 Joan standing at the edge of the hot-tub area (8th floor). |

 HEY! There's a pool down there. |
 Lake Tahoe is beyond the ridge. |
 Ah... a favorite spot for me at the Ridge Plaza. |
 Yep... I tend to stay a while. |
 So, THAT'S the pool that was way down there. |
 Hey, there's another hot tup by the pool... cool. |
 Yup... a great place to be, folks. |
 You see here in me a look of content satisfaction. |
 A picnic table on the knoll... looking back to the Ridge Plaza (hot tub in the upper corner... can you see it?) |
 It is pretty everywhere one looks. |
 The Ridges Plaza building (see the guy standing in the upper corner where the hot tup is located?) |
 A look at the hot tub area in the opposite corner... after walking up to the Ridges Center... huff, puff... |
 Joan's artistic snapshot. |
 An artistically carved tree trunk. |
 The Ridges Center... yes, it looks like I took a picture of a bear-proof trash can... I sorta didn't notice it when shooting. |
 Joan considers the menu at the Ridges Hungry Bear restaurant. |
 Around the table... Larry and Marianne... |
 Ray and Cid. |
 And of course, me with Joanie. |
 A look toward part of the Heavenly Ski Area... you ski right to the Ridges Resort... when there is snow, of course. |
 Continuing the view to the right from Heavenly Ski Area toward the view of Lake Tahoe. |
 Ah yes... the lake... HEY! I don't remember that house there before. Ah, so it goes. |
 I guess I don't seem to get tired of the views from up here. |
 Back to the lake... and that house in the middle. |
 And a bit of close up... |
 The outdoor, 8th floor deck. |
 And the hot tub inside. |
 I guess the flash makes it look clearer. |
 Another hike... Ray and I climbed some rocks for this shot... big adventure. |
 A vista view. |
 Some trees must be 200+ years old. |
 Looking up. |
 Ray out ahead a bit. |
 A small meadow. |
 Time for some lunch while enjoying the view. |
 A two photo panarama - shot 1. |
 A two photo panarama - shot 2 (to the right of the previous shot.) |
 Focussing on Emerald Bay on the other side... where we visited a couple days ago on the cruise. |
 Same view... but no telephoto. |
 The Ridges (left) and Heavenly Ski Area (to the right.) |
 So, where did we stay? This is the living room area, overlooking the Carson Valley. |
 Turning around, looking back into the kitchen at Ray and Joan. |
 The Living Room, Dining and kitchen combination. |
 From the dining room table toward the fireplace. |
 Our bedroom... getting ready to pack up again. |
 What the floor plan looks like of the two-bedroom configuration. |
 Our gracious hosts... Ray and Cid... who shared their space with us. |
 A Panarama... from Heavenly Ski Area (left) toward Lake Tahoe (right). |
