Column: Take Care of Tahoe This Summer
Submitted by paula on Thu, 06/20/2024 - 8:45pm
Summer is a magnificent time of year in Tahoe. Longer days, near-perfect temperatures, and Tahoe’s lush environment have brought about a summer migration for millennia. As the snow melted every year, the Washoe Tribe of Nevada and California, Lake Tahoe’s original and current stewards, would return to the center of their homelands, as much for spiritual fulfillment as sustenance. In fact, travel is intrinsic to human nature. From nomadic hunter-gatherers to people in search of knowledge, new relationships, and escape, getting away is something we have always done.

They are crowing about self-manufactured statistics using bad math to make their points.
