Day 54

Start: Carson City, NV
End: South Lake Tahoe, CA
Distance today:
Total:

CALIFORNIA!!!

Didn't make it as far as we had hoped, due to a bike issue. Fortunately, the bike issue didn't happen until we were in the middle of South Lake Tahoe. There is literally no better place this could have happened... So we decided to spend the afternoon in beautiful Lake Tahoe.

Actually, it's probably a better place to stop than we had originally planned.... See, we have to go over a pass through the Sierra Nevada mountains that is over 7000 feet. We were planning on stopping about halfway down at a campsite around 3500 feet... But now that we're starting from Tahoe, we're heading all the way to Sacramento, at a staggering elevation of 20 feet. That's over 7000 feet of downhill in one day! It's going to be.. wait for it... LEGENDARY!
