Ahhhhh, fanny bridge... 8-P
Haven't been to the gondola at Heavenly yet, last year took the kids to the Ponderosa Ranch, had a great time. Usually drive in from the Nevada side, easier approach on 395 into Reno than all the way down 5 to Sacramento and then across/up. don't often get to the south end of the lake. we usually end up going over to emerald bay and hiking around. also haven't been to squaw valley in a very long time, I've heard there's a new gondola there, too. I will take your advice when we're down there next month, and take the gondola ride :-) I can hear the quiet of the lake calling me now... will ---- William H.
