South Lake Tahoe

I met Duct, Adam and Ali when I got into the road. Everybody was looking for a ride into town. We were quite lucking with a family and drop us in a Sport Bar. Sports Bar exist in Europe but over here it is a different mentality, it is fun, good beers, average food, and good ambient. I was with Argentina and lost. We were in South Lake Tahoe, it is half California and half Nevada, so we decided to share a room for 2 nights in the main Casino Hotel in town.


We did laundry, got pizzas, hot tub and hung around the casino. The second day it was logistic for me. Send some package, I finally sent the extra gear back to Spain. I called work back in Birmingham saying that I will back; it is something that I should do every month. The idea of the bounce box did not work for me. I don’t want to be thinking about post office opening times etc. It is the problem of resupply as you go , that sometimes you use your days off to bounce food and general resupply, gas...So some day off are tiredness than a hiking day. I finished the day quite stressed with all this.  Still was time to go to the swimming pool area, I met with Duct, Adam and Ali , we got some beers and jump into the hot tub watching the sun going down, orange sky, we were talking we really deserve this day off. Early night with more pizza and ice cream.  




Day to be back on the trail. Rock ocean picked us . I realize I lost my passport, he drive us around all the shops I went the day before , nothing, the last one was the post office. I told them just leave it, they insist that it would just take 5 min, ok.  Bingo !!! it was there !! Thank you guys!! Lost & Found is back haha. I could not imagine all the trouble to get a new passport and a new Visa.........
