 Impressions:  After the strenuous trip of yesterday we decided we needed a rest. This place is perfectly delightful. We spent the morning in hiking through the forests under the huge pine and collecting large cones which are almost a foot long. We sent home several dozen for decorative purposes. This afternoon we went swimming in Lake Tahoe. All about the lake forming a border, snow capped mountains can be seen. The water is green and so clear one can see the bottom anywhere. The water was like ice but wonderfully refreshing.
