You guys need to do Sonoma and Marin County! My home! You would love it

I really need to explore California more.

The Lake Tahoe wander home looks amazing! I want to stay there soon. Tahoe is such a fun spot!

[@HereBeBarr]

It really is! Can't wait to see your trip.

[@georgiasmith7615]

Looks fun. What is the temperature there in late October?

[@HereBeBarr]

Daytime was about 45-55. Nighttime 20-30.

I thought that this area was completely engulfed in forest fires. Horrible burning of trees, nasty smoke from the huge fires. This doesn't seem contemporary, to what is going on there now.

Jon on a bicycle? I never thought I’d see the day! Lake Tahoe is gorgeous, definitely a great place to relax.

Jon, nicely done, you really did a yeoman's job on this video. I visited Tahoe as a teenager over 40 years ago and I still think about going back. I think you're video just enticed me. Keep up the good work. You have an excellent narrative voice.

[@HereBeBarr]

Thanks Albert

[@Regulus3333]

The rubicon trail is nice , But there are half a dozen trails in California better. There are better hikes in tahoe! No offense to our second home, mad love tahoe! Truly paradise

[@HereBeBarr]

Which ones are nicer, I'm sure people will be curious for other options.

Nice! Haven’t been there in ages. Last time our family stayed in Truckee during the snow season. Thanks for the cool recommendations!

Your welcome

Inside Lake Tahoe? You forgot Fredo Corleone

[@HereBeBarr]

😧 good point. No fishing trips for me

[@Petermcnaughtonhomes]

My favorite place I have ever been to. I've been going once ore twice a year since I was a teen.

[@HaleyMary]

Awesome video! The weather looks beautiful there! That's cool they have a passenger train. That biking path looks amazing!

[@Jr-Tv13]

By the way thank you so much for your guides or New York. I’m going to be heading out there in four weeks so I’ve been watching your videos nonstop trying to understand everything. I live in LA so it shouldn’t be that much of a difference as far as the subways

[@michaelavalek2649]

Beautiful video! I grew up near Tahoe, was only an hour drive and it’s the best place ever! During winter or summer the opportunities are endless there. Also for food places, yes glaze and confused doughnuts is the best! They have a blueberry old fashioned doughnut that is just incredible! Another great place is lucky beaver, it’s right in between all the casinos and is sooo good, just be ready for a long wait because everyone wants the delicious food, they have an open kitchen and you can see them making the food walking by outside (also open 24 hours). Another great place is fire and ice , it’s a raw buffet, you go around pick what you want and take it to the middle or the rest where the chef prepares it for you on a giant round grill and does cool tricks with his spatula and the ramekins you bring the food in. Anyways there’s nothing better than Tahoe, just moved to Oregon myself and still Tahoe is the best lol! If you’ve never been definitely make a trip there, it’s totally worth it!

[@HereBeBarr]

Thanks

[@alisonthorn2573]

Those donuts! Those burgers! The schnitzel! Great video Jon 👍 #teamadriana

[@bonniepwtf]

I've been there but never saw as much of it as you have shared here. So beautiful. Also, what an interesting fact you shared about the Empire State Building & the depth of the lake, WOW! Looks like you & Lady A had a lovely time.

[@HereBeBarr]

I had to share an NYC tidbit!

[@edsabi614]

OMG ，it was in Tahoe that I saw snow for the first time in my life

[@annek1226]

Next time you do a bison burger try it medium rare with paper thin onion slices on top! Yum! Only way to fly! Sweeter than beef!

[@HereBeBarr]

Sounds epic

[@victoriapowell1118]

We are going there In April! Thank you for The info!!

[@dp1994]

Loving these videos, heading out there in December, just wanted to know how cold it will be?! Should my wardrobe consist of just jumpers and thick jackets lol

[@FiammaGarritano]

Lake Tahoe is definitely on my wishlist, thanks for the info! Im sure it will be very useful by the time I decide to travel there 🤗

[@audreybrown1257]

You should explore the Adirondack region sometime like Keene NY. Skip Lake Placid though, lol.

[@HereBeBarr]

Great idea

[@ilyaLNYC]

Never been but heard lot of nice things from Cali folks. Nice vid - looks like lot of fun! 👍

[@homerb3368]

It’s a long way to drive from Oceanside, maybe some time in the future, but not in October or winter time!😬😄😁

Good idea

Your videos are so relaxing I had to subscribe. I live 5 hours south of here. To think I have never been is crazy. Time to make plans.

[@brockcox3863]

Next time your in Tahoe, you have to visit berts cafe. It is honestly way better than glazed and confused because you have a full meal with amazing customer service and a very cool old style dinner feel.! It’s a one of a kind Tahoe experience.

[@aptadpamu]

Nice work, Jon. I like your edit, drone shots and background music. Been to Lake Tahoe in the Winter to ski and in the Summer with my motorcycle. One of the gems of CA.

[@HereBeBarr]

Appreciate it

[@intanbaharuddin2703]

[@rdgsupafli]

Just watched this video to go check out Tahoe and I gotta say the burger me was not worth it one bit. If you guys see this comment go visit the waterfalls around northern Cali like Mcloud falls and go get yourself a yaks burger omg it’s literally one of the best burgers ever. check out lassen burney falls a lot more in the area and not as congested traffic like Tahoe in busy summer weather

[@albback8176]

I like the Canadian Rockies more, but I'm biased :)

[@HereBeBarr]

Canada is a postcard.

[@doubleoseven273]

spot on with that bison burger, bison > beef all the way

[@sergior4498]

I was fortunate to live in the South Shore for many years. My daughter is a Barton Memorial baby.

[@Thornwalker.]

The water is always very cold, even in summertime, if you're coming here to swim, bring a warm wetsuit, just fyi. 🥶

[@kourtneyd916]

You need to update your list. DL Bliss is closed through Summer 24 so you can’t get to the rubicon trail.

[@Petalflipper]

Growing up here was such a memorable experience. I wish I had hiked a lot more than we did, though, and we were hikers. Lived in many homes in South Lake Tahoe as a kid.

[@Marlon_Torres]

Good info Jon! I’ve always wanted to visit Lake Tahoe I’ll make sure I check out that diner if and when I go.

[@HereBeBarr]

Thanks Marlon

Haven’t been there since 1996, unfortunately (also visited in 1992 for our first wedding anniversary!)…absolutely beautiful both times…sadly, my wife’s disability, combined with age (we are in our mid-50’s) does not allow us to visit higher elevation sites anymore since my wife has trouble breathing in thinner air, so we likely will not get to return again…thanks for the reminder of two very lovely trips from our youth!

[@HereBeBarr]

Your welcome, the high elevation was affecting Adriana quite a bit.

@@HereBeBarr Sorry to hear that--Isnt she from central Mexico somewhere near to Mexico City? I always thought that area was similar to most of the Denver and Colorado Springs area in terms of high elevation

You'll love it up here. Just 90 minutes north of NYC, and you're in a different universe surrounded by natural beauty. We have a mile long and beautiful Main St lined with shops and restaurants with Mt Beacon overlooking the city. Take a hike up the mountain and you can see the NYC skyline on a cloudless day on the fire tower. Lots to do with the museum, the Bannerman Castle tour, and fall foliage while in season.

Hey - welcome to CA!! I am a 4 hour drive away and have been to Lake Tahoe many times. It's "heavenly" all year round. Did anyone tell you in the past month or so the whole south shore was evacuated due to a fire. It was a ghost town. I have taken Amtrak from CA to NY a few times and love going thru Truckee on the train in the snow.

Being Lake Tahoe, they should provide a Jeep Rubicon instead of a Tesla. Then you could go and enjoy the Rubicon Trail.
