    It may be free advertising, but it should be a heads up to the to the Forest Service, League to Save Lake Tahoe, TRPA, Conservancy, State of CA Parks, etc. to start negotiations to buy it for public use.

    600′ of sandy beach sounds like another wonderful public beach. That is two football fields of beach. Our government needs to buy it!! And yes we need to tax ourselves and pay for it.

    Aloha
