June Already?

Yes, June 1st is this Sunday...it sure doesn't feel like it though. It was cold and wet all week up at the lake, but it is looking like we are working our way towards some better weather.

So, it is still a little quiet up here before summer really starts. There are not a lot of events, but it is a great time to get out and enjoy the peace and quiet on the water or hiking and biking trails.

HIKING The trails are actually in great shape right now due to all the spring moisture we have seen (the wetness keeps the dust down). A nice casual hike that provides some spectacular scenery is in Emerald Bay. You can park at Eagle Falls and hike either down towards Lower Eagle Falls and Emerald Bay or uphill to Upper Eagle Falls and further on if you'd like towards Desolation Wilderness. Either way there are some great views and the water should still be flowing heavily this time of year.

BIKING Northstar at Tahoe is open on weekends for lift serviced riding (not a bad way to do it, especially considering that they have made drastic improvements to their beginner and intermediate riding). Or just run down to Olympic Bike Shop in Tahoe City, rent a bike and ride to River Ranch for lunch. The river is not covered in rafters yet so it is a nice quiet and beautiful ride.

EVENTS The big event of the weekend is the 15th Annual Charity Fishing Derby Sunday June 1st. With prizes including season ski passes and up to $1000 Cash, this event draws a big crowd. The Fishing starts bright and early but stop by for the brunch at Jake's on the Lake from 11 - 1:30...maybe you will catch sight of some of the big fish (the record for largest Mackinaw caught in Lake Tahoe is 36 lb. 6oz.!).

OTHER NEWS I just visited with the sales team at the new Hyatt in Northstar. They are offering a really amazing product there. It is nothing close to Tonopalo of course (there is no lake at Northstar yet) but the building is truly ski-in/ski-out. Anyway, more importantly they are offering free stays in the village at Northstar to prospective buyers who would like to visit the property. Call or e-mail me for more information on this one.

On that note, Timilick Tahoe (a golf course community in Truckee) is offering a $99 Weekend Getaway Package that includes a 3 day/ 2 night stay and a property tour. Again, contact me for more info.

TONOPALO REAL ESTATE Home #8 is now priced at $325,000. This is a steal for this home! 2300 square feet with 3 bedrooms and a den! Visit http://www.tonopalosales.com/ for more information on available shares.
