While our campmates were out cycling the Flume Trail, a popular and senic trail, mom and I had a jog around Martlette Lake...then relaxed on the park deck...
Back at the campground we walked a few trails with views looking down on Lake Tahoe's Emerald Bay area.
Throughout our weekend, as you can guess, I was most keen on my swims! Ready to go any distance, any time...just throw that ball!
Below at the little water-access-only cove we paddled to each day.... 
Loved playing on these granite boulders!
And, a bit of running in the sand... 
When motor boats weren't speeding by, the waters were pretty calm and nice for paddling.
In my usual boat-riding position....
Quite an interesting band of rock cliffs. Can you see the daring fella on the boulder, photo right... Guess what he did! Youza! 
We enjoyed camping and paddling with our friend Christina! 
One of the days at our little beach...I met a new pal. You can see Maya waiting for me below...not much of a swimmer, but sure interested in playing each time I swam back to shore :)
Maya came with her humans in the Mean Jean Tahoe motor boat! And, had a stylish life vest on! 
Hi ya!

On our paddle back to the campground beach one afternoon, we passed these lucky furpals.
A classic ride, and superb backdrop. 
We were also amazed at the cliff climbers! 
I was not at all hesitant to swim out pretty far....even gave mom a few gasps when I swam fast and quite a distance towards a lone mallard on TWO different occasions..... I didn't hear any of her recalls...(opps!) I did turn around at some point after swimming way out....couldn't tell mom why I did what I did...but I guess I finally made the right choice to come back to shore...according to mom :) 
I'm out there...just a bit of brown fur in the waters... 
Oh nice weekend.......hope we have more. It was great to visit this area off-season without all the typical crowds. 
Hope you are having a nice week friends.

Your adventures are always so amazing and inspiring!
ReplyDeleteWhat great memories you brought back to me. We used to have a cabin near Emerald Bay. Wooo, one of my fave places in the off-season!
ReplyDeleteSierra Rose, you look gorgeous in that water. You were made to swim, I think. And the cliffs are amazing.
I giggled at the vision of you way out in the water swimming with the Mallard. A long time ago, I had a dog who learned that, as long as she stayed in the water, I couldn't make her stop swimming to take her home. So, she'd go far out in a lake and swim in circles, ignoring every recall. It was then that I decided that I needed to learn a thing or two about dog training!!!!!
I love your trips. Thanks for taking me along!
What a wonderful post...You have so much fun!

Mom is the worst bloggie pal on the planet!!! We've pawed and pawed her to comment on blogs this week, but she's been impossibly crazy bizzy, so she says heheh! And we are incredible jelly seeing those spectacular photos of you enjoying yourself in those lakes and beaches and boats and oh my! Bet that duck looked pretty yummalicious, eh? Ava might have gone after that too, naughty sis! Well... tomorrow, we are off for adventures where we've never been and hope we have as good a time as you had on the shores of Gitchy Goomey Tahoe hee hee! We'll miss playing with you, but will be back soon. And I think (shhhhh) that you are going to have adventures this weekend too! Sorries again that we've been such bad bloggie commenters!
