California 2017 - Day 12 - Lake Tahoe to Napa Valley
Wednesday
Route
Lake Tahoe didn't look quite as sparkling today under cloudy skies. At one point the road runs along a narrow ridge with Lake Tahoe to the right and Cascade Lake to the left, Colin stopped off for a better view today as in the car his eyes were firmly on the road while he was driving!
We stopped at a view point overlooking the Washington Ridge, part of the Emigrant Trail which was significant in the California Gold rush of the mid 19th century.
Our next stop was just outside Yuba City, not generally on the tourist trail but on our radar due to an geocache placed in September 2000 the first in California and one that takes us closer to achieving our Jasmer Challenge. This one gave us both butterflies, it was a must find and was spotted by Colin.
Our hotel in Napa is very swish but hardly in the countryside as we imagined, but there is a statue dedicated to the grape crusher!
