Miles 6131-6390: Mariposa, Drive to Tahoe, and Lake Tahoe
7/26
We got up and packed up pretty early in the morning. After both cars were packed and everyone was ready, we played some more Monopoly, packed it up, and got on the road. Jackson and I both rode with Mom and Dad because Pampam and Grumpy had decided to drive through the park and out the Nevada side to see more of the park and it added a little over an hour to the drive. I spent the whole time catching up on how behind I was blogging and journalling, as I am now. We stopped for lunch in Sacramento, which was smaller than I imagined it would be. We stopped at a place called Bacon and Butter. I got a grilled cheese Benedict, which was huge and I needed lots of Dad’s help to finish it. When we got to the Airbnb near North Lake Tahoe/Tahoe City, we had to disable the bear fence, which was made up of wires strung in front of all the doors and windows that were electrified to keep bears from breaking in. We got settled and watched TV until Pampam and Grumpy arrived. We walked down to the lakeside, which was huge, pretty, and choppy. There were a lot more waves than I expected. We ate leftovers and snacks and went to bed. There were bunk beds and I got the top bunk, with about two-and-a-half feet of clearance. Let’s just say it was interesting trying to get in bed each night.
