Go jump in the lake! Lake Tahoe, that is.
Spent yesterday at Tahoe with some of my favorite Hawkeyes.
Mostly at Emerald Bay and Eagle Falls…
As an added bonus, when we toured the Baldwin Museum at the Tallac Historic Site, there was a 13-minute video narrated by than none other than our old GSS pal, Ellie Hinkle. Small world! And as if that weren’t enough, there was also this old-time fire truck with a working calliope mounted on the back….
My daughter Kate was obsessed with Dextra Baldwin, the silver-baron heiress and quintessential Roaring Twenties flapper with the super cool lakeside cottage plus 5 marriages and 5 divorces to her credit. In the interim, I suppose, Dextra had a whole boatload of fun on the lake and on horseback. But I told Kate that, barring a Powerball win, the chances of her inheriting $50 million from me – like Dextra did from her dad – are somewhere in the vicinity of Absolute Zero. So, maybe best to start looking for a new hero? She, of course, was undeterred. Ah, youth!
NOT Dextra Baldwin and NOT a silver baron.
Go Hawks anyway!
I think what you mean here is: not a silver baron that we know of, YET.
