October 10, 2013 | Tim Hauserman In a recent blog, I wrote about the efforts of a Tahoe family to help their five year old Julian with his cerebral palsy and frequent seizures. I am happy to say that our community came through in a big way and the fundraising effort was a tremendous success […]

September 30, 2013 | Tim Hauserman In the summer, Tahoeites revel in the sunshine as they paddle across the lake’s deep blue waters. In the winter, we find the boundless joy of sliding over snow. It’s about getting out there in nature and working up a sweat while marveling at the beauty of our little […]

September 12, 2013 | Tim Hauserman As you sit quietly on the Sunnyside deck enjoying a cocktail and gazing out across Lake Tahoe you may ask yourself: Why is there not a light to be seen along that whole big swatch of east shore between Incline and Cave Rock? One big reason is George Whittell. […]

July 30, 2013 | Tim Hauserman On August 8th, 1863, the land where Tahoe City now resides was surveyed and recorded. The little town was mostly just a good idea in a spectacular location until the beginning of the 20th Century when the sumptuous Tahoe Tavern Hotel was built. In order to build his hotel, […]

July 12, 2013 | Tim Hauserman Ward Creek State Park Just a half-mile down the bike trail from Sunnyside is a little hidden gem, Ward Creek State Park. Until this past year, it was an undeveloped chunk of land sandwiched between Ward Creek and Timberland, with one lightly used trail bringing mountain bikers and dog […]

July 22, 2013 | Tim Hauserman For many of us, summer means more hours to ride up Blackwood Canyon, or the flutter of aspen leaves as we roll through Page Meadows.
