One of my good friends from growing up in Tahoe used to live on Lake Tahoe BLVD. His parents still live there, luckily their house was spared. They live two houses down from where Lake Tahoe BLVD turns into Upper Truckee. Literally two streets over from it.

My buddy called me yesterday and told me that he went in there yesterday on his mountian bike to get some personals for his parents. He said it looked like a war zone a couple of blocks up from his parents house.

Across from Sawmill Pond Rd is the old South Tahoe Archery Club that I used to belong to as a kid. Too bad most of it appears to have been burned down now.

As a kid, I remember hearing about the oppressive actions of TRPA and how their policies would add up to a ferrocious fire some day. I also remember that TRPA finally allowed logging companies and the Forest Service to start clearing dead trees out. But only during the winter if there was enough snow cover on the ground. During the summer they were allowed to do tree removal during the summer with helicopters only. That was 10 years ago, basically the summer I graduated from High School.

TRPA = Tahoe Basin Nazi's. Damn tree huggers!! They can go hug a burning tree for all I care.
