Desolation Wilderness, California - November 1, 2006 - Happy Birthday Kodak!

Happy Birthday Kodak! The 'dak turned 10 today. Since Steph had to go to Santa Clara for a 2 day meeting I loaded the beagles up for another one of our occasional visits to Desolation Wilderness in Tahoe.

Not a bad looking dog for 10!



We were hit bet several sudden snow flurries at 8,000 feet+ during the hike. It's what you would expect in November. The highest point we peaked was 8,400 (courtesy of Nuvi)



The rapidly changing weather brought some interesting shades of blue to Lake Tahoe and Granite Lake...can you guess which is which? :)



After a side trip to Crystal Lake/Falls we headed back but caught this nice snap of Emerald Bay. The weather had settled down and with no boats the water was smooth.



After a long hike it was hard to stop Ranger from having a sip out of Granite Lake.
