Lake Tahoe is SO beautiful! I’ve only been there once, but I’ll never forget it. :)
People surf on The Great Lakes 6-7 months out of the year. Now THAT is some hardcore surfing!

My wife grew up on Lake Tahoe every summer through about age 18. They had a little teardrop trailer and camped all summer long from the day after school got out until the day before school started again. Water skiing every day — without wet suits! It must have been a great life!
