I recently noticed that I had a bunch of Donner Lake photos and that this incredible lake less than a 10 minute drive from my house in Truckee, CA deserved a "gallery" of it's own. So I did a little rearranging and created an online gallery for my little local treasure.
Many great family moments have happened along various Donner beaches and docks over the years, fishing, kayaking, camping, bike riding and West End Beach parties, most unrecorded by camera, only by the brain. I hope my son remembers a bit of the visits in the same way I have flash memories of my favorite childhood lake visits.
Anyway, here's a few photos and a slide show, that honor this family fun recreation spot. If you ever have the opportunity to visit Donner Lake, do so, and contact me while you're at it! I'd love to meet up for a coffee or drink...
