The Perfect Storm on Lake Tahoe

by JD on September 21, 2007

Here’s what we found at the boat ramp on Friday morning at Lake Tahoe. Needless to say, we didn’t fish.

The video’s a little dark since it was 6 AM…(and shot on a cheesy point-and-shoot still camera) the clients really, really wanted to fish, so we loaded up and made a 3-hour drive straight from there down to the Delta. Before we left the mountains, however, I shot a couple more photos…

I knew it was going to be bad when I stepped out of the house (about 1/2 mile from the water) in the morning and heard the roar of surf. With 3-foot breakers, you couldn’t have launched…even if you were crazy enough to try.

Unfortunately, some boats had a tough time in the storm…

That photo of the boat dock is seriously pretty dang good.

The sunrise and the ocean-like waves make a neat contrast.

Should submit it to your local fair and see if you can get a ribbon.
