We will meet up at the Kmart parking lot in Grass Valley off of McKnight Way at 8:00am.
Then we will take scenic HWY 20 up to I80. Travel north on I80 for a very short period to Cisco Grove. Turn left under the freeway and follow it along. This is the old HWY 40. Lot's of history along the sides of this road and we can drive it nice and easy to Soda Springs. At Soda Springs there is a couple of good size gas stations and a great place for the first stop. Then we will continue down Donner Pass Rd. A pretty drive up the hill and back down to Donner Lake. We will then travel along the north side of the lake till we get to HWY 89 and head south. This will take us to to Tahoe City! South on 89 and around the lake.
Pack a lunch, we will be stopping at Pope Beach ($6 park entrance fee). Lot's of sand and wind break as well as grills and bathrooms. This will be our lunch spot and plan to hang out a few hours before heading on. One last stop for ice cream at North Shore and then head back down the hill. Or make a weekend out of it and enjoy all that Lake Tahoe offers. Others head over the hill and try their luck in Reno. Regardless...an amazing day. Don't miss it...come join us.
