Time Off In Tahoe

Hello again! I made it to South Lake Tahoe. What a beautiful place. The lake is spectacular and the whole area is a huge tourist destination. There are casinos around the lake, but I will be skipping those.....no reason to donate money to them! The people in Tahoe have given me a bad taste though....they cater to the ultra wealthy so us hikers get treated pretty poorly....I went to church this morning and I thought the paster was actually going to ask me to leave...They made me go in a private bathroom, wash off in the sink, put on a t-shirt they gave me, and then he asked me to hang out in the bathroom until the service was about to start....WOW!!! I don't know about you, but the Jesus I read about in the bible would have FREAKED OUT about the way they treated me! The good news is that this is the first city on my trip where the locals have been so crass. After Lake Tahoe there is a large section of the trail that is closed because of forest fires. I will be skipping ahead to an area past the fires, but I wont know where until tomorrow.....Until then

Have a peaceful day,
Forager
