Today we headed towards our Ski Cabin and stopped along the way at the Squaw Valley Resort where the 1960 Winter Olympics were held. When we got there we rode a cable car that took us 8,200 feet above sea level where we then went ice skating on the highest ice rink in North America.
When I (Ben) was booking our trip to Tahoe I knew we would be here during "off-peak" times, but I didn't quite realize how off-peak it was until we found ourselves ice skating alone on top of Lake Tahoe.

Good Morning Lake Tahoe
Well, we made it! After hanging out in the Las Vegas airport for a few hours (which has slot machines..haha) waiting for our flight to Reno, we got our rental car (Jeep Patriot, fun car!) and headed to Lake Tahoe. Man, That was an adventure, the fog was so thick the max visibility had to be 50ft. Needless to say the drive took a bit longer than expected. Not a problem though since our bodies were still 2 hours ahead of Tahoe Time.
Can't say much about the terrain around here as it was dark and foggy when we arrived, but the view from our Hotel room is promising.
A quick note about our hotel. Last night we stayed at the Cal Neva, I (Ben) chose this hotel for two reasons:

- It used to be owned by Frank Sinatra, who's music and old movies Marci and I have enjoyed.
- It has secret tunnels. No Joke. Who doesn't like secret tunnels!?
