Even if you don’t kayak, you should check out this book for the hand drawn illustrations and humor about life at Lake Tahoe from the water’s edge.
(Note: The Trolley does not allow kayaks. Doh!)
Oh yeah…And it includes the most thorough description for kayaking around the lake.
The Unofficial Guide to Kayaking Tahoe
The detail of information and pen and ink drawings by 28-year local artist and fun hog, Don Sullivan, a.k.a. Blindman, are remarkable.
The guide is riddled with meticulous drawings of kayak gear, rescue procedures, Tahoe flora, historic mansions, and campgrounds, as well as the classics like kayak camp, camo camping, and the satirical rendering of all things Lake Tahoe.
The best part – Don prints and binds the book “at my home, with my own two hands with loving care.”
Besides sharing his love of kayaking, the lake, nature and just plain fun, Don provides the inside scoop for day excursions and an unforgettable kayak trip around the Lake including an illustrated fishing guide.
Kayaking Tahoe, The Unofficial Guide includes EVERYTHING you need to know about kayaking – and more! For only $13.95 it’s a steal. It’s almost like the Unofficial guide to Tahoe …
