It's interesting to note that we had to 'accept' the gentrification of Mirror Lake at Yosemite, and let it become a muddy frog pond for some reason, but we cannot 'accept' the same exact process at Tarhole; why is that?
Tahoe is one of the truly fabulously beautiful places anywhere. And it is rimmed with developement as a result.
The people pollution is somewhat bad for the lake but being able to see a dinner plate at 76 feet is still very good.
Mirror lake was a small lake that is now almost mirror meadow via natural processes at yosemite.
Tahoe becoming dirty is a man made one.
