Wow, a year already!

Can you believe the first anniversary has come and gone already? Amazing how time flies.

We actually went up to Tahoe to celebrate our anniversary and were gifted by mother nature with a show. Apparently, back in the 1940's, Lake Tahoe was stocked with Kokonee salmon. As most people know but few people have seen, those salmon truely do spawn and since they are already "up there" they don't have much of a stream to spawn "up".

While driving down the highway past Taylor Creek on the south side of Lake Tahoe we saw a group of 20+ people standing around, on a bridge looking over. We stopped and sure enough thee was a show in progress.

The Kokonee Salmon were huddled up in Taylor Creek, swimming upstream by the thousands. We attached a couple pictures of the salmon in the stream.


While we were there looking around we found someone out fishing and can you believe it, he didn't even have a license!!! It was a young brown bear, splashing around looking for some dinner and he was even able to catch some. Sorry.. we didn't have our camera with us at the moment! :(

Hope you enjoy the pictures, if you would like to see more let us know!
