Bridging Tahoe’s bear selfie problem
By Benjamin Spillman, Reno Gazette-Journal
It’s about to get more difficult for careless Lake Tahoe selfie-seekers to strike a pose with their second favorite subjects.
That’s because a private, non-profit organization is raising cash to upgrade a South Shore boardwalk that’s seen a swarm of selfie-shooters seeking shots with local bears.
The Tahoe Fund, an organization that raises money for conservation, recreation and education causes around Lake Tahoe, is seeking to raise $28,000 for the project at the Taylor Creek Visitor Center.
The money would pay to raise, widen and add railings to a boardwalk that overlooks Taylor Creek.
