I was really unprepared for the crush of people in the Sierra around Tahoe. It was like an ant hill and I was 50 miles from the lake. Crazy. Just crazy.
I pulled off the highway a few times. Once between Truckee and Sierraville into what turned out to be a 'cabin community' with at least 2000 houses. Remember the Eagles song Paradise? That's what I saw. It was just insane. "You call it Paradise, kiss it good-bye,"
I promise you, the next legs will be the exact opposite. There are places...
I am glad this was the only bad spot on what sounds like it was an otherwise awesome trip. I guess one might argue if this was the worst part then you got off easy! :)
