End of summer with no real trips so we are gonna go up to NC to Deep
Creek near Boone for some whitewater tubing. *Camper is still about
two weeks from completion so will be using the tent (this is tent #4
and is almost worn out).

My wife is taking me to California and I hear the water in Tahoe is
pretty cold. I don't plan on jumping in anyway.

60 degrees at the surface yer round.

Nope I am not sticking a toe in that.
I'm an 80 and over guy, we like 85.

Take a cruise on the Tahoe Queen or the other paddlewheeler. *Nice cruise of
the lake, and stops at Vikingsholm at Emerald Bay.http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=506

We boat there once in a while.

Notnow: *Thanks for the tip, I dunno how much time we will have. *It
is a 10 hr drive from here.

Now I gotta decide, rush camper to completion tonite or go with the
tent. We have heard there are problem bears at Deep Creek. Been
there, done that, proved I can sit in my tent or in my sleeping bag
scared to death while they tear up my stuff next to me. Being older
gives me the right to be a wimp and want to be in a hard sided
camper. Have not put camper onto truck yet and I anticipate some
fitting problems, worth rushing or not for leaving tomorrow morning.
