There's a Lake... What???

Photo 317 - 319: As I'm driving down south to see what this "Lake Tahoe" nonsense is about, I see little areas to pull over all over the place, but I kept on driving... and then this view opened up (first picture). I couldn't believe it, so I did a slightly legal U-turn, and shot a picture of this breathtaking view. The great thing about this area is that there are many landmark signs, so it's not that difficult to get that panoramic shot even if it means climbing some rocks or in my case, balancing on some very unsteady boulders to get that perfect picture.
