KP National Camp at Lake Tahoe in Northern California, USA | |
at South Lake Tahoe
From Friday July 3rd to July 5th 2009 Where & what is South Lake Tahoe? Located on the California/Nevada border in the Sierra Nevada mountain range, Lake Tahoe is the highest lake of its size in the United States and the largest alpine lake in North America. * Lake Tahoe is as long as the English Channel is wide with the width of Tahoe being half again as wide as San Francisco Bay.With one dispersion of Lake Tahoe's water, the State of California would be completely covered to a depth of 14.5 inches. * The Panama Canal (700 feet in width and 50 feet in depth) could be filled by Lake Tahoe's water and extend completely around the earth at the equator, with enough remaining in the lake to fill another channel of the same width and depth running from San Francisco to New York. * An average 1,400,000 tons of water evaporates from the surface of Lake Tahoe every 24 hours, yet this drops the lake level only one-tenth of an inch. * Lake Tahoe's water is 99.9% pure. The water is so clear that a 10 inch white dinner plate would be visible at 75 feet below the surface. It never freezes due to the constant mass movement of water from the bottom to the surface. Getting to Lake Tahoe Nearest Airport - Reno-Tahoe International Airport (approximately 50-60 miles from Lake Tahoe) Distance from Sacramento - 103 miles (from South Lake Tahoe) Distance from San Francisco - 200 miles (from Tahoe City) Bus transportation from Southern California Los Angeles area to Lake Tahoe is planned, (Contact Dr Raj Pandita at Prince_Raj@yahoo.com for details and for Bus services registration) Where will we stay in South Lake Tahoe?
