In the winter season, my family and I love to go to Dodge Ridge. It’s a great place to ski and also make snow men.
In the summer, the recreation department has a class on basket weaving taught by a really nice gal named Arvada, who is a native Indian form Mi-Wuk. Arvada’s classes are fun [...]

New Chevy Tahoe, GMC Yukon Hybrid SUVs Get 21 MPGGM told us the final mileage for its new hybrid full-size SUVs would be around 20 mpg, and the company was right. Today, it announced that the EPA has rated the two-wheel-drive Chevy Tahoe and GMC Yukon at 21/22 mpg (city/highway). The four-wheel-drive models get 20/20 mpg. The non-hybrid versions get 14/20 and 14/19 mpg with a similarly sized V-8 e

The Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid, along with its GMC counterpart, the Yukon Hybrid, are the first vehicles to utilize the advanced two-mode hybrid powertrain developed jointly by BMW, DaimlerChrysler, and General Motors.

During the end of May we took a trip to Lake Tahoe to see a friend and have lunch. I was excited to take my art equipment and camera. I planned to sketch outdoors as well as take photographs of the lake. Unfortunately, the day was gray, dark and cold. We saw snow flurries as we had lunch. I took some snapshots of the casinos because they have such neat signs. This view is on the Nevada side (wher
When the first Chevy Tahoe rolled off the assembly line in 1992, Americans were still buying typewriters, gas was a little over a buck and global warming was largely something people from California fretted about.

Camping is a great way to appreciate the beauty and activities of the Tahoe area; providing an interaction with nature that you’ll never find in a stuffy hotel room. There are many public and private campgrounds around the Tahoe basin – here are 10 to explore:When you’re looking to rise above the summer heat, go up – to the top of Mt. Rose Highway. Locals may have noticed the campground turnoff sign at the summit of Hwy 431, perhaps not realizing that it leads to a picturesque camping spot with access to some of the best high-country hiking in the basin. Wander easily to the Tahoe Meadows to link up with the Tahoe Rim Trail or the Ophir Creek Trail. Trailheads to Slide Mountain and Mt. Rose itself are nearby as well. The campground offers 24 sites and flush toilets. Fees are $13/ni

What do we know about the 2008 Chevy Tahoe LT? Well, it is a fact that it is a fullsize SUV and it is also one of the youngest in this class. And with that, we sure can expect that it would be coming with quite a number of remarkable features that when combined would give something wonderful for the vehicle -- and maybe even give this fullsize SUV a better performance compared to the Chevy Blazer, yet another one of its siblings in the Chevrolet range.
Power is one of the things that come with the 2008 Chevy Tahoe LT. Under its hood, you would find a 5.3 liter V8 engine which is capable of producing 320 horsepower. That is mated to a four speed transmission. However, experts who have tried out the vehicle seem to be dissatisfied with this combination. In Motor Trend, Mark Williams, an ed

The 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid — the first General Motors vehicle to use the company’s all-new two-mode hybrid system — has been named Green Car Journal’s 2008 Green Car of the Year(R). The award was presented at a press conference this morning at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
“This is a milestone in many respects,” says Green Car Journal editor and publisher Ron Cogan. “People don’t think ‘green’ when SUVs are concerned, and for generally good reason since SUVs often get poor fuel economy compared to most other vehicles. Chevrolet’s Tahoe Hybrid changes

Armed with an annual $50 million marketing budget, the California Travel and Tourism Commission will promote the "California lifestyle" to stimulate the Golden State's $93.8 billion tourism industry. Television ads portraying the state's outdoor activities will feature scenes of the Lake Tahoe region. The fun-loving, hard-working and hard-playing California lifestyle is an appealing image to potential domestic and international visitors.
One of the primary reasons I love living in Northern California is that there are so many weekend destinations around the area and so much to explore, that we rarely find ourselves sitting and thinking what we should do this weekend. One such beautiful natural wonder tucked near the CA/Nevada border is the panoramic Lake Tahoe. It's a name everyone in USA must have heard about, and no matter how much praise you have heard for it, experiencing it yourself will always beat hearing about it!! Heavenly and Divine is how I would describe Lake Tahoe, and if you haven't visited this lake before, read on to find out what you might be missing!!Formed by a geological block (normal) fault about 2 to 3 million years ago, the Lake Tahoe Basin is about 22 miles (35 kms) long and 12 miles (19 kms) wide, and the second deepest lake in US after Crater Lake in Oregon. Large number of streams empty their water into this lake which is drained into the Truckee river which flows northeast through Reno and

Lake Tahoe is my favorite destination during summer. I was about to go there before July 4th but the wildfires had caused me to cancel the vacation so I will be planning next month. It is really exciting to see the wonderful lake in in the sierra. A great gift of nature.
It is necessary to prepare yourself in going to Lake Tahoe. I started by using VLBO vacation rentals because I needed a place to stay there for a week. Well, my family will be traveling with me so we reserved for a home there already. I picked the Premiere Luxury with views and it is really fantastic.

Oh my goodness, I never realized there was so much to do at Lake Tahoe, all year round! Of course you have snowboarding and skiing in the winter, but just look at all the summer Tahoe lake activities you can enjoy. All I can say is WOW! The pictures are absolutely breathtaking!One thing Craig and I want to do is start finding mountain bike trails. There are plenty of trails around Lake Tahoe. There's an interactive map that shows where they are and how to get to them.We still have vacation time to take this summer. It would only take us about 9.5 hours to drive there. That's easy enough to do in one day! I am seriously contemplating it. It would be so fun!

STATELINE, Nev. (AP) — Billy Joe Tolliver followed consecutive bogeys with a 25-foot eagle putt on the 18th hole to take the first-round lead at the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship at Lake Tahoe on Friday. The former NFL quarterback, a two-time winner of this event, had three birdies and three bogeys to go with the eagle in accumulating 25 points in the modified Stableford system that puts a premium on birdies and eagles. “I mean, I’m not Tiger Woods or anything.

The crew arrived at the the firecamp yesterday, at Heavenly Ski Park. They were kept in camp to prepare for day shift today. Sounds like the efforts to battle the fire within the first hours has paid off, especially with the help from the weather. The humidities are up, and the winds have died down. Sounds like the main fire activity has almost stopped. As of today, the containment is 40%. However, after having more than 2,000 acres burn, the mop up and containment will probably keep the crew there for a few days.
Since the fire began yesterday, rescue workers have evacuated about 1,000 people from the path of the ``very hot, rapid-burning fire,'' Kevin House, a lieutenant with the El Dorado County Sheriff's Department, said today in a televised news conference. No injuries or deaths have been reported.
The crew has been ordered to the Angora fire near South Lake Tahoe. The Angora Fire is burning near North Upper Truckee Road. The fire is burning toward the the town and is burning in the beetle kill trees. So far, the fire has burned more than 800 acres and is spreading rapidly due to strong winds. 50 homes have been burned by the fire so far and more are threatened.The whole area along Upper Truckee Road is evacuated. Highway 50 is closed at Lake Tahoe Boulevard.
If you ask me about the sun, surf, or beach houses, I could give you a pretty decent list of recommendations.
Ask me about snow and I don’t know where to start. I’ve only really been in the snow once and that was when Girlie Girl was 2 years old. Even then, she was feeling sick for most of the time so we pretty much just stayed in the cafeteria.
Now we’re planning a snow trip in mid-March 2008 and I need your help.
Where would you recommend that we go and stay? We would prefer to be somewhere on the west coast and it would have to be a kid-friendly place since there will be 4 young children with us (ages 18 months to 9 years old). Of course, we would like condo-type accommodation with kitchen and fireplace.
I’ve tried to do some Internet research on it but it was becoming too overwhelming! I didn’t even know Lake Tahoe was in Nevada and California.
So, what do you recommend? Are there any places that we should definitely stay away from? Could someone plea

Finally, an American hybrid.I won't call it a freedom-fighter - that takes, minimally, 40 mpg. Nonetheless, I'll call the Chevy Tahoe hybrid an incredibly important step in the evolution of the American automobile. I might even call it an American revolution.The Chevy Tahoe hybrid, as well as the Yukon hybrid, will not just be the first dual mode hybrid vehicles, these hybrids vehicles will be Made in America.Unlike Ford's hybrids, such as theEscape hybrid, the Tahoe hybrid will also not be built under any sort of licensing agreement with Toyota. This is not a Japanese hybrid powertrain in disguise - no offense to either Ford or to the Japanese - this is a new, more American spin on hybrids.In contrast to Japan, the U.S. is a huge land mass - a huge land mass filled with a massive network of highways and freeways that Americans often use to traverse great distances. Some of us travel hundreds of miles every day, not just on holidays and summer trips. Nonetheless, many of us spend co
We spent the Memorial Day weekend in South Lake Tahoe with good friends. For Friday night I had made reservations at 19 Kitchen~Bar, located at the 19th floor of Harveys' Hotel, in South Lake Tahoe.After having a delicious Pineapple Ginger Mojito in the bar we got seated promptly.We started of with two starters shared by the table, Warm Goat's Cheese Strudel with Arugula, Mushrooms and Balsamic Vinaigrette ($12). Very good with great balance of the flavors and the right amount of creamy goat's cheese in the strudel. The second starter was the Lettuce Wraps with Chicken, Water Chestnuts, Mushrooms and Szechuan Sauce ($12). Very tasty as well with a nice spiciness to it, although I preferred the Goat's Cheese Strudel.For entree I choose the Sea Bass with Shrimp Risotto and Lobster Broth ($29). This was a beautiful dish with mild flavors, the sea bass cooked to moist perfection and the risotto had the right texture and creaminess. The Lobster Broth was poured around the risotto and ad
Remember when Audi rolled out the baseball leather interior on the original TT convertible? That was nothing.

You know, just like your childhood mitt. Also part of the package are a baseball bat ash wood dash inserts and steering wheel trimmed in leather to match the seats. A special grille was designed to mimic the look of a chain-link fence, and the package is rounded out by Rawlings badges galore.The package just hit the market and is available for Chevrolet Silverado pickups and Tahoe SUVs. Only in America, kids.

Without so much as an accompanying press release, General Motors released a slew of new images yesterday that show us what the Z71 off-road package looks like on two of the three GMT900 model SUVs. The Avalanche, Tahoe and Suburban are available with a Z71 package that adds, of course, the Z71 off-road suspension, new 18-inch aluminum wheels mounted on combination on-/off-road tires, an automatic locking rear diff, and high-pressure shocks. That's it for the hardcore mechanicals, though buyers who opt for the Z71 package are as much interested in the image these vehicles project as they are their capability. To that end, Chevy adds the Skid Plate Package, oversized wheel arch flares, tubular assist steps, extra bits of chrome trim, and rectangular fog lamps, along with the requisite Z71 badging so everyone knows you could go off road if you wanted to. The interiors benefit from a Z71-specific gauge cluster and brushed metal look for the dash. The Z71 package certainly adds some cajone

To evaluate the all-new 2008 Toyota Sequoia, I spent some quality time with comparable full-size SUVs from GM and FoMoCo.

Erin caught Chevy's debut of the Tahoe Dual-Mode Hybrid Sunday. The Vortec V8-powered hybrid combines GM's Active Fuel Management technology (aka displacement on demand) with a hybrid-electric drive system developed by a GM-BMW-DaimlerChrysler partnership, and based on the technology in GM's hybrid transit buses. The result is said to be a 25 percent improvement in composite fuel efficiency.

General Motors has stopped production of the lion's share of their 2008 truck line-up. Automotive News [AN, sub] reports that GM's told its dealers that "the allocation volume for the Dealer Order Submission Process cycles beginning May 8, 2008, and May 15, 2008, have been canceled." Translation: the American automaker will no longer fill orders for the vehicles listed above. The General blames the shutdown on the ongoing United Auto Workers (UAW) strike at American Axle, which has caused a paucity of parts. The situation could be worse for GM, but it's hard to see how. Even thought the strike and resulting shutdown provide a convenient excuse for GM to cut production on an entire genre of vehicles-- vehicles that can't be sold at a profit, or, indeed, sold-- GM
