I think Russ has this thing called “life” figured out.😊

Best video ! Lake Tahoe is beautiful

LIKE THIS WHERE YOU GO WE GO THANKS RUSS 😊

Russ, your KZread Channel is great and so are you. I really like the front and side cameras on your van. Your drone footage is absolutely beautiful. I really appreciate it that you take us on your rv trips. The CA mountains are really gorgeous. I hope that you enjoy your visit with your friends. I wish you safe travels, Russ. Talk soon, Alan.

Well, We enjoyed your little tour around the LAKE as much as you, Buddy!!! Lake Paradise so beautiful, Truly Paradise! Keep doing what your doing!!

Wow Russ! This was a wonderful 3 day journey! Lake Tahoe was so beautiful! The high mountain lake was too! Have a great visit with your friends also!❤️😀🇺🇸

Glad you went on the boat ride what a beautiful lake. Another great scenic drive. Thanks Russ!

I lived there in the 80s (Incline Village :) I traveled around the lake each day for work and your video takes me back. A lot has changed but it's still incredibly beautiful. Great work with the video. Thanks!

Love this video. We went to Lake Tahoe years ago Really has changed.

You chose well to take 88. If you had traveled 50 it would have been many miles of burned-out trees. We had very large fires tearing its way into Tahoe. Thx for the full weekend of wonderful views.

I hope your going on hwy 88, lots of lakes and campgrounds we stay at on that hwy.😊

California native here! Love this video of Tahoe and the drive down. It may be crazy expensive to live here but I could never leave. Bay Area native. Glad you’re back visiting. Thank you for sharing, love your videos.

I've loved the whole trip so far but the boat trip today has been wonderful thanks so much

Spectacular views everywhere 🤩🤩🤩 Thanks for always sharing this beautiful country with us 🤩

Russ! Thank you for taking the boat ride! It was absolutely stunning.. Love Lake Tahoe! ❤😊

Beautiful scenery and the lake is so blue. Love the paddle wheeler. We used to have the Becky Thatcher on the CT River years ago but I think it's been retired according to a news piece I read. What a nice trip so far. Love the mountain scenery. The psalmist wrote "I lift my eyes unto the hills grom whence cometh my help. It comes from the Lord." Whenever I get down mountains seem to lift me up. Not sure why but I know how David felt. Thank you for the road trip.

lived in vegas for 10 years, never made it up to lake tahoe. Thanks for the video.

Love Tahoe it’s so beautiful love mountain biking up there and boating. Thanks again Russ for another awesome video and be safe

AWWsome, thank you for the video!

Most beautiful place in the world. Told my kids my wishes, scatter my ashes there. Kings beach, Emrald Bay, and south shore. So many memories from childhood till now, some 70 years. Ty for sharing.

Well if I needed to take a break for a couple of days I couldn't think of a prettier place to take it😅, still the prettiest place I've ever seen, but it's sure has built up scence the last time I seen it👍✌

You are the absolute best tour guide. We really enjoy your content!

Great video sir! I been visiting Tahoe my whole life growing up in Norcal

You brought me back a lot of memory. We usually take 50 directly or 80 to Truckee and then 89 to the lake. Got on 88 only a few times in all these years. Thank you Russ. Have fun in the redwoods.

Hey Russ, happy first weekend of summer! Even though I love the great scenic spots of The West, I've never been a fan of Tahoe (too crowded, too much traffic). So it's great that I can get the virtual experience with you. Good to see you putting some miles on the e-bike! When it comes to lake boat tours, my favorite is the one at Crater Lake that drops you off at Wizard Island long enough to hike up to the summit and back before they pick you up. What a great time to be riding through the Sierras. Love the sound of the cascading snow melt streams as you drive along. I can almost smell the pine-laden fresh air 🙂 See ya on the flip side...happy trails!

🕊Hi 👋🏽 Russ🎶 Beautiful day!🏞

I live in Encino Los Angeles and I have never been either and I love to fish. My brother and his wife went up there to fish got a guide and they both caught 1 lake trout each. I know T.M.I. 😂😂😂

Hey Russ 🤠👍 This is one gorgeous video ❤ Thanks for the ride !

Thank you for making videos. I can travel just by watching, don’t have to buy air ticket, hotels etc. !

This One Russ Was Over The Top.......

Very enjoyable your a class act Russ happy and. safe journey from New Zealand

I can just smell the trees 🌲 and fresh air, beautiful 😌

Emerald Bay is one of my favorite places. The lady who built Vikingsholm, built a Tea House at the top of the small island, not much remains of it though

I do not think I have seen a video on the drive up to Lake Tahoe, a really beautiful place with those pine trees.💖

I took a boat ride on that lake on February 14, 1996. It was a bit cold but lovely. Thanks for the journey back in time. Safe travels!

Thank you for taking us along with you on your adventures.

I can't wait to visit Lake Tahoe again!

Enjoyed beautiful lake Tahoe

❤ lake Tahoe beautiful awesome way too cool for school thank you Russ❤

Thanks Russ … this was special - my daughter was born there🤩

Loved your last two videos - this one in particular. I grew up in Amador County and haven't been on Hwy 88 since the early 80's. One of the most scenic highways in the US. Also enjoyed seeing Sharkey's Casino in Gardnerville on your last video. My dad went to high school with Milos "Sharkey" Begovich. We used to go there a lot in the 70's to have dinner with him and enjoy the prime rib dinners.

I'm late to the party but it took me a couple of days to watch the whole thing, Tahoe is beautiful, I love it up there, I live in the SoCal mountains and have been thinking of moving up north, Genoa was insanely beautiful, never even heard of it before. Thanks for the absolutely fantastic video!!

In 1963 caught my first trout at Zepher Cove...happy trails Russ...wish you well and be safe😃

Cool watch out for the bears🙋‍♀️✌️😎

we are staying at zephyr cove campground in august, what a great place, have not been to tahoe since the 90s. cant wait.

Absolutely beautiful video! Thanks. BTW if you put a sock on your microphone, it blocks out wind noise. Thanks for sharing.☮️

Been in the area about 15 yrs ago when hubby was on business/ personal time in Reno-Susanville,CA area…it is gorgeous area..thanks for the memories.

Yay, wonderful ride. Thank you, Russ!

Great video Russ! As for the burned-out trees; I can tell you that a long time ago, the people would have harvested the wood for all kinds of items; pencils, make picnic tables, classroom items for daycare...furniture...etc. The people in the past would have quickly went to work, planting new tree farms to replace the burned trees. But in today's times, the people were told that doing all that was bad and now we are left with thsoe trees just standing there. I wish people would not believe that EVERY tradition from the past was bad or that harvesting trees is not needed. Teens/young adults need to get off those video games, get reeducated with traditions and get outdoors. Its such as shame that people just don't want to farm as much as in the past. Those trees would have already been purposed and replaced with more diversity of trees that can grow for that region. It is another chance to space the trees far apart, plant with diversity to prevent bettle damage and improve on the past. In the past, they did do wrong in that they only planted one type of tree, leading to a whole area getting affected but recently, they learned not to plant like that using today's methods....its a chance to restore the environment, better.

Gorgeous!!

What fun !

Beautiful Video

Spectacular!! Thanks, Russ!!

incredible video of Lake Tahoe. Bravo!!! Great job!

Thank you, Russ for the enjoyable trip to Lake Tahoe. It's been for me about 51 years since I was there. We came from the Sacramento side to Reno and Lake Tahoe. As you pointed out, the mountains were not too developed in the 70's. We came in the summer however as you pointed out there was snow in the higher elevations. I remember we stopped some place where I touched the snow. 🖖👍

Very cool!

Wow. The blue water and sky at Tahoe is amazing. Your video reminds me of the old viewmaster travel slides I loved as a kid. Prices sure are up around there. I can see why the one couple was paddling around in a blow-up boat. He was feeling good about saving money on the Dixie while his ole lady probably cursed him for being cheap while seeing you sail away, lol. Cruising around on the e-bike is probably the best entertainment you could have in a place like that in my opinion. It would be for me anyway. I'd have spent all day on it. Another good one here. Cheers! 👍

So nice early in the morning best time for bike riding .

Great Russ, thank you

Great job with the photography awesome we'll done thanks awesome video

Lots of memories for me in Lake Tahoe and the High Sierras fishing for trout with my Grandparents in the 1960's. Thanks for the beautiful ride. Looking forward to the Redwoods and the coast. Enjoy!

44:15 in ….. just beautiful!

Thanks for the boat ride across lake Tahoe 😊

I think I missed when this was filmed. Great video as always!!

I lived there for 1.5 years! Loved it

I used to live in Reno. That's a big part of the reason I enjoyed your vid. I went up to Lake Tahoe whenever i had a chance. I never went on the MS Dixie. For future reference, I had good experiences camping at the Meeks Bay Campground. The camp spots within that campground aren't quite so close together as many of the other campgrounds around the lake. Meeks Bay is just a little bit north of emerald Bay. It can be full full without seeming crowded. At least that's the way it was when I was there last.

Actually the furthest west I've been on highway 88 was the top of Carson pass. It's nice to see what's beyond that.

I love your videos! Beautiful area!👍👍❤️

Thank you for your videos. I always enjoy them so much. I live in England and would love to see more of USA, so these videos help me do that

I sure did enjoy this so much .

Great video. I’m so excited for your adventure for the year. Going to enjoy this. Thanks!!!

Thanks again for a great tour, Russ.

Thanks for the trip I only been there once. 4 bucks for a bottle of water should have been included with the price of the trip. Enjoy and Safe Travels

Love your videos Russ . I got my folks watching you too , gives us great ideas for road trips

Another great video, looks like a lot of fun.

What a great video Russ!

excellent never seen the lake like this 👍

Great video! Loved the boat trip!!❤

"If it had been called the SS Minow, I would've been worried." LOL!

Russ...LOVE your videos...very well done. Always going to places of interest..You are ALMOST to Huell Howzer level...ALMOST :) thank you sir!!

Another Great vid Russ! Thank you. One thing My wife & I noted on this one. While on your eBike, Before you boarded the Paddle Wheel you videoed & pointed out the Lodge & Restaurant but you didn’t care about that stuff cuz you had food in your van. Since we’re not there & not sure if & when we would make it there, My wife & I ( & I dare say some other viewers) want you to show places like this, albeit briefly, so we have an idea of as many places as possible. Thanks again. Keep up the good work!

Wow 1000 ft deep….amazing for such a small lake. 100 stories!
