Lake Tahoe has it’s own awesome writing event right on the shore of Lake Tahoe this coming weekend, October 21-22nd. Lake Tahoe Word Wave is a shouldn’t be missed event for anyone interested in writing and reading. In addition to enjoying interesting and informative presentations, you get to hang out at the spectacular setting which is Valhalla: A classic old Tahoe retreat on the quiet, lovely grounds which once housed the Baldwin Hotel. It is located between Camp Richardson and Taylor Creek.

The festivities begin on the evening of Friday October 21st with a Tall Timber Ball at Valhalla’s Grand Hall.

On Saturday, October 22nd there is a full schedule of events including:

Galadrielle Allman, who penned the memoir, “Please be with me: A song for my father Duane Allman,” Chosen by Amazon as a Best Book for 2014. Her story, “Only Women Bleed,” is included in the forthcoming anthology Crime + Music. Galadrielle is presently working on a novel about teenage love and punk rock music.

Craft and Courage (And the twelve years it took for my first book deal): Melissa Cistaro discusses what sustained her through the long journey of writing her memoir “Pieces of my mother.” She works as a writing mentor and event coordinator at Book Passage, the esteemed independent bookstore in Northern California, where she has introduced hundreds of authors.

Writing the Healing Story: How do we put together the pieces of our past and find the courage to craft our narrative truths?

Lake Tahoe’s Taylor Creek Fall Fish Festival 2014   2 comments

Last Year’s Fall Fish Festival was cancelled due to the government shutdown. Wouldn’t you know, Taylor Creek Visitor’s Center is one of the few National Parks in the Tahoe basin, as most are state run. But this year it’s on for this weekend October 4th and 5th from 10am until 4pm.  The visitor center will play host to a full day of family fun sure to be both entertaining and informative. If you’ve never been there, do be sure to go to the river viewing chamber where you can watch what goes on under the water of a river bed.  Fall is the best time to walk along the lovely trails that follow the river as the area is laden with aspens. Watch out for bears though, as fall is the time they engorge themselves on the spawning salmon in the creek as they fatten up for their winter hibernation.

Right next door is the Historic Baldwin Estate. While the tours through the old mansion have ended for the season, the grounds are still open for wandering. It’s one of the most peaceful and beautiful areas when you have it all to meander by yourself.

 

Lake Tahoe and Truckee abound in bike trails, perfect for a ride or a leisurely stroll.

If a bike ride is more in your plans, there is a wonderful bike trail that follows that entire area of South Lake Tahoe’s  Historic Area. Camp Richardson is just down the road a piece, and will also be hosting its Octoberfest celebration this weekend as well. And a bike may be the best way to get around all of what’s going on there this weekend, as parking for your car can be a bit dicey with so many events in the area. If you do drive, plan to come early.
