Vikingsholm and Emerald Bay 2018


For our Anniversary Sunday 2018 for our church, Sierra View, we had Pastor Pat Cook come and speak for us.  We enjoyed a little time with him and his family showing them Lake Tahoe.  Always a great day to see Tahoe!  And the weather was just amazing!
This is Emerald Bay.


I'm always amazed at the flowers and beauty that grow in the cracks of the rocks.

Island in Emerald Bay.  Can you see the little rock house at the top?  That was a tea house for a lady that had her home on the shore right there in the bay.

It has been several years since we hiked the trail down to Vikingsholm - which is the name of home you see above.

A couple had this home built with Scandinavian architecture-some parts having no nails or spikes. It was built in 1929 and has 38 rooms. What is also interesting is they were primary backers of Charles Lindbergh's non-stop solo flight across the Atlantic in 1927.


Can you imagine living here in that day, waking up every day and having that view of the bay?  Wow!  It also has some beautiful stained glass windows as well.











Just a beautiful hike!  What an amazing place we get to live at!
