I’ve watched fireworks on a lake before and yes, we had the same problem with finding our way back. GPS comes in handy there. However, your Lake Tahoe experience sounds like it was a step above what I experienced. Thanks for sharing your memories.

Elena,
Sounds like there is so much to do year round. Beautiful pictures.
I understand about the lake being huge. Lake Lanier here does fireworks, but I’ve been too chicken to stay out. Partly because I always read about a boating accident or two on te 4th. Glad you got back safety.

The fireworks sound wonderful. We watch them at a lake on the 4th of July but I’d love to try it at Lake Tahoe one years. Sounds breath taking.

Fireworks over water has got to be absolutely gorgeous.

Getting a little lost on water in the dark, even my imagine would have been working overtime.

Great stories. My Hubs went on the Rubicon…once. At one point he stopped the Jeep (with it’s nose pointing toward heaven) and got out to look over the top of the ridge to be sure there was a road once he drove forward. I’m thankful I wasn’t there…I’d have been screaming the whole way. BTW, he also told a story about pancake batter being mixed in a new (hopefully) 55-gal drum and stirred with a new (hopefully) boat oar. Definitely not my speed at all.

I love Tahoe and the lake isn’t just a “huge lake” to get lost on, it’s a H-U-G-H lake and the Keys is a beautiful area. Laid on a deck there one year & got a horrible sunburn.

Elena,
What a beautiful description of the fireworks and your adventure. I never heard of the Keys area in Lake Tahoe but it sounds great. There are so many things to do there that I didn’t realize.

Wow, I can picture myself on the lake in the dark and the fireworks! Unfortunately, I can also picture the whole “which way back” part too, lol! Thanks for the lovely description.

Not cold? I’m there! I wouldn’t go for the Jeep trip or the camping. But looking at the lake makes me sigh. Thanks for being with us, Ellen!

Oh, Ellen, you write beautifully. I was “right there” with you. You really make me want to go to L. Tahoe. I want to stay on the Keys! Thanks for letting me visit there vicariously.
