41 Tough Miles

We rode around South Lake Tahoe today.  Traffic was thick and the sides of the road narrow, and much of the time strewn with debris.  Some of the best riding was found on the side roads, one which led to a small seasonal community called Fallen Leaf Lake.  The picture with this post was taken on the way up to Fallen Leaf Lake.

There was a post office there, complete with its own zip code, that is open about 11 weeks out of the year, from the day after Father's day to the day after Labor Day.  It wasn't much bigger than a closet, shared a building with the grocery and snack bar, and had the post office boxes mounted facing outside the building's outer wall.  

We will start our drive back to Idaho (and reality) tomorrow...
