    I lived in South Lake Tahoe in the late 70s. I fell in love with the place. I visit now and then. I spend a lot of time picking up after people. It's heart breaking.

      There need to be littering citations like traffic tickets and they should be strictly reinforced as well. That should take care of the grownups.
      As for kinds, I wish they can cane them like in Singapore but that will never happen. Make them do community services and pick up trash. That will teach them something.

    Mcduffs is one of my favorite spots. It’s one of the few places you can get Pliny the Elder on tap. Glen alpine falls and fallen leaf lake is my wife’s favorite lake. It sure would be awesome to stay in one of those houses facing the lake on that tiny one lane road. We used you’re Tahoe video from a few years ago as guide for our first trip up there. Great recommendations.

They have their own mix and it’s fabulous!!! Revive is a great peaceful place to do just that...revive! Kick back, relax with a coffee, tea or beer & like I always say to, “Revive at Revive”!lol! 😁

Also, Sonny's Bar-B-Que is very good and I always like to experience Fire & Ice Mongolian grill in Heavenly Village. And at Kings Beach I usually stop at The Grid Bar & Grill. It's something of a dive, but it's my kind of dive.

I'm a native born Bronx New Yorker living in the S.W region in N.M. the country side there looks really nice. That now will be on my bucket list of place's to definitely see and explore. I looking at this video ? Would love to see a big couple of home designers ? To maybe build a small town villa styled similar ? To Lake Como in Italy. I bet that would draw even more tourists to the lake with colorful looking buildings on a piece of a shoreline there. But that's the bias Italian in me showing... lol.
