[The Lake of the Sky by George Wharton James]@TWC D-Link bookThe Lake of the Sky CHAPTER XIV 15/15
An excellent trip is to leave the Tavern after breakfast, ride on the Tahoe Boulevard to Glenbrook for lunch, then over to Carson City, where a brief visit can be made at the Capital of the State of Nevada, the Indian School and the prehistoric foot-prints, that for years have been the wonder of the scientists of the world.
Then on to Reno, where at the Riverside Hotel, mine host Gosse, one of the noted figures of the hotel world of the West, will accord a hearty welcome.
Next morning Pyramid Lake can be visited and the return to the Tavern made by way of Truckee. For those who enjoy motor-boating on the Lake excellent provision is made.
The Lake Tahoe Railway and Transportation Company own several steam and gasoline launches, with varied capacities,--from six to two hundred and fifty passengers--full particulars of which can always be obtained. Fishing boats in large numbers are to be had either with or without oarsmen, together with full equipment for fishing or hunting trips. The Tavern stables are prepared to supply all reasonable demands for saddle-horses, driving-teams, and pack-animals for hunting trips, and arrangements can be made for equipment and guides for mountain trips, of any duration, from a couple of days to three months or more.
There is also a garage with first class cars and experienced chauffeurs for hire.
