Independence Day Parade in Tahoe South


The South Lake Tahoe 2015 4th of July Parade 
4th of July is a busy time in Lake Tahoe and the town was totally packed this year.  Walking by Lakeview commons I noticed that practically all of the good lakefront seating to watch the fireworks was already taken despite the fact that there was rain in the forecast.



Despite the fact that the parade ran almost half the length of town from Rufus Allen Boulevard all the way to the Y, there was a considerable crowd of tourists lining highway 50 to watch the parade pass Lakeview Commons and El Dorado beach.

4th of July on El Dorago Beach Gallery on Google+
Backstage at the Park and Rec center I caught up with former mayor of South Lake Tahoe Tom Davis.  "Here we are on July 4th, 2015.  I hope the weather is going to cooperate today.  This is our nation's birthday and I am very proud to be in the parade along with all of our community.  This is a great community event every year."


I spoke with +JoAnn Conner of Golden Bear Events, organizer of the parade.  "This is the 4th annual South Lake Tahoe 4th of July parade assembling by the parks and recreation and we're going to proceed down Highway 50.  We have as our grand marshal John Felis, a US Marine Corps veteran of World War II.  We have every branch of the services represented here, Air Force, Marines, Army, Coast Guard and Navy and we also have veterans of everything from WWII to the Korean war to Vietnam all the way up to Afghanistan and Iraq.  They're all here as well as a lot of businesses and vintage vehicles that are out here supporting this parade.

Pony Express Friday's Station handoff in Lake Tahoe


The Pony Express ran from April 1860 to November 1861 carrying mail almost 2000 miles from St. Joseph, MO to Sacramento, CA. Every year since the mid 1960s the National Pony Express Association puts on a re-ride involving over 500 riders and 155 stations, including Friday's Station in Lake Tahoe, NV (at the site of what is now Harrah's.)

Pony Express Statue at Harrah's






The Pony Express' attitude towards its riders is captured beautifully by the text of their famous recruitment poster:

"Pony Express from St. Joseph, Missouri to California in 10 Days or Less.

WANTED

Young, Skinny, Wiry Fellows

not over eighteen, must be expert riders,

willing to risk death daily.

Orphans Prefered $25 per week."

This video features interviews with Davey "Doc" Wiser, the rider for the Lake Tahoe to Placerville leg of this year's re-enactment as well as Rich Tatman, president of the California division of the National Pony Express Association as well as the handoff of the mochilla containing this year's commemorative mail.

America's Most Beautiful Bike Ride 2015



America's Most Beautiful Bike Ride 2015 gallery on Google+

America's Most Beautiful Bike Ride is a charity bike ride around Lake Tahoe sponsored by Bike The West to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.  Over the last 14 years this event has raised over $65.8 million towards the cure.


According to South Tahoe Now, This year over 3,500 bicyclists participated in three divisions, a 100 mile century ride, the ever popular 72 mile bike ride around Lake Tahoe, and a 32 mile fun ride with a cruise to the north shore. 

McClean Hoenig said "It's my first time riding 72 miles, and I'm dead tired but it was worth it and it was a great experience." 



Riders agree that the most challenging aspect of America's Most Beautiful Bike Ride is the up and down terrain of the Lake Tahoe basin. Early finisher James Phillios of Columbus , OH noted: "I'm not used to the hills up here, and there were two climbs that were pretty tough and a little wind towards the end but all in all it was a great ride. Great people, great event."

Riders left from the Hard Rock Hotel Casino in Stateline at 6AM, and the first finishers weren't coming in until noon.
