Wonderful video! But mom & Dad, when you have the little ones with you on paddleboards or on water, have on your lifejackets also. You never know what could happen, & you want to be around for those little ones. Or even needing to help them if the occasion arises.

[@robertarohwer3861]

I am a native Californian.. and grew up spending summer vacations in Lake Tahoe. SO lucky. We go there, still, often. It is without a doubt ... heaven on earth. Glad you had a wonderful time.

[@dwd3416]

My best memory about Lake Tahoe is when my dad went fishing at the lake shore while I played around the boulders. I found a piece of metal that I wanted to show him but he was busy fishing. When we were packed up and ready to leave, I showed him that piece of metal again and he realized that what I had found was a gold nugget, I still have it to this day!

[@tammymcdowell9469]

Awwww..what a great memory.

[@vicitedford8672]

My grandparents retired in South Lake Tahoe and I spent all my summers there. My grandmother was an avid fisherman and loved horses. She would always have a horse for me to ride during the summer. We would wear swimsuits under our riding clothes and ride the horses to Pope Beach, have lunch, swim in the lake and then ride home! Epic memories! I Love Fallen Leaf Lake, it’s one of my favorite campgrounds.

[@kaylynnebingham3344]

Iv'e lived in Tahoe for 30 yrs. Thank you for the video, you forget what's in your own backyard. I take it for granted.

[@xoxokenley]

I have a cabin in Tahoe that me and my family go to every summer. I love the overall vibe of lake tahoe, the theming of everything is amazing. In fact, I'm actually gonna head to my cabin at the end of this week!

[@jamesarnold883]

We have been camping, boat camping in Emerald bay, back packing for over 60 years. We love Tahoe❣️

[@akgobears]

Being from the bay area and a snow skier for about 40 yrs i have been to Tahoe more times than i can remember....Soooo many things to do there no matter what time of yr your there whether at north shore or south shore....Spent alot of time in Homewood and Tahoma as i used to ski Homewood ski resort as my favorite...Cheaper than most the other places and the best view of Lake Tahoe to be had....We always used to set aside a day to take a ride to Carson City, Genoa , Truckee, and especially Virgina City for a little side gig from the lake....My favorite place on planet earth .....

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

It’s really amazing there!

[@fredhbush]

I was raised in Tahoe City and live in Reno now. My wife and I still make frequent day trips to the lake to just enjoy everything Tahoe has to offer.

[@alwaysrushinjohnson4370]

My brother lives in Carson City so when we went for his wedding, we drove to South Lake Tahoe and went to the Tallac Historic site. It rained the day we went and it had not rained for months. My brother said we brought it from Louisiana 😆. Even on a grey, dreary day, Lake Tahoe was beautiful. The crystal clear water just amazed this girl who’s used to muddy lakes.

[@sushiroll710]

I'm from Placerville, Eldorado county, which Tahoe is in my home county. I lived about e0 minutes from Tahoe. Grew up going there. Went to tons of concerts, dated a guy in a metal band and he did gigs in Tahoe every weekend. I would absolutely love to live there for a period of time. It's magical af there!!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

That’s amazing!!!

[@luistapia4779]

This IS our happy place. We were married in South Lake Tahoe in 1981. We visit as often as we can. Just spectacular. A bit more crowded these days for sure. Glad you now understand Tahoe Blue.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

That is awesome! Thank you.

[@Maxid1]

I've been going to Tahoe for the past 40 years. I've been there 10 times more often in the winter (skiiing) but the spring and summer trips are almost as memorable. If you go during the spring melt you'll see some stuff you can't see any other time of year.

[@gregormiller4037]

Same here. Up until 4 years ago, i wood ski 35+ days a year at Squallywood.

[@nelsclin31]

Our family is about 18 months away from full time rv life and this will be on our list for sure.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

It's a great place to visit for sure.

[@julierobinson2429]

We had a house growing up at Lake Tahoe. It was so fun to go there for vacations. Now too busy and crowded. Lake Tahoe is one of my favorites.

[@stampdealer]

OMG, as a Nevadan, this was so glorious to watch. I LOVE Tahoe and Northern Nevada!

[@1_viewer]

My family has had a little cabin on the west shore for generations. Whenever I go and get my first glimpse of the lake driving in my heart lifts with sweet emotion. Thank you for letting us see you visit the lake. 🛶🌲💦

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

That is awesome!

[@melindabuxton2748]

Thank you for bringing back happy memories of climbing rocks with my Dad at Sand Harbor... sniff, sniff.

[@kimherben7866]

1960 Winter Olympics were in Squaw Valley (North of Lake Tahoe), which is great to go uphill and explore. We love Tahoe. I hiked up the Eagle Lake trail when I was 7 1/2 months pregnant. It was after the earthquake and many of the rocks were shaken loose that made up the trail. I am 5' tall and it was a challenge to keep pace w/ my 6'-4" husband! Truly a very special place.

[@leighsirvent654]

Lake Tahoe has been our favorite for a long time!

[@robinhart1390]

Thanks for telling us the best campsites. Please do that more often🥰

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

You are welcome.

[@lucipenteado698]

Lake Tahoe is beautiful and has a special place in my heart. My husband and I honeymooned there 46 years ago! Always enjoy our trips there.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

That is awesome!

[@amycoats9618]

I live in Reno/Sparks area and I want to thank you for reminding me of the beauty in my backyard! I absolutely loved this video! ❤

[@topherjoe1]

Beautiful place. Fond memories of the area. The water is so clear. Would love to snorkel that sunken barge. Be sure to put that life vest on Hensley. It is the law in California!

[@scaredy-cat]

Thank you for this wonderful visit, just gorgeous

[@cboyle707]

Yes. The lake and surrounding areas look better than ever! I am soo pleased I spent many many summers there and it looks incredible. It is easy to literally fall in love with everything about it. I used to cry every year when leaving. Lucky you!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

It really is!

[@robinridpath7542]

Just camped at Fallen Leaf Lake for my first time (ever) last month. It was our first stop on a month long trip. I was amazed by the lake and the campground. It's a great alternative to Lake Tahoe if you can't get a spot there or want something a little slower paced.

[@onealmr]

3:35 The bench that JJ is leaning against is dedicated to Wallace & Catharine Ruch. Wallace Ruch was a veteran that later became an optometrist (for over 40 years) and an avid outdoorsman.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Wow, thank you for the information.

[@TravelSmallLiveBig]

Lake Tahoe is gorgeous! But, yeah, cold. My old skiing days favorite.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

It really is!

[@wendyfilice7101]

I feel so blessed to live in California, near the ocean and close to Lake Tahoe. 😍🙏❤️

[@СергейШепалов]

Nathan and Marissa, your videos are being punched to the core. Wherever you are, wherever you go, you will create another masterpiece from each of your adventures. Thank you very much.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Wow, thank you!

[@txtrish]

Our kids live in SL Tahoe. We love to visit because they take us to all the local places. So beautiful there. We were there when they had the fires going on and it was so crazy. But I was glad to experience it.

[@rvfamilylife]

I always think, "I want to jump in the water holding a GoPro." But everytime I chicken out. You have my respect Nathan.

[@ffc303]

So wonderful to see Lake Tahoe again. Lived in SF Bay Area, with ex, for 23yrs & always thought if I ever married again, it would be at Emerald Bay on Lake Tahoe. I'm married a great guy & I told him the only way I'd marry him if the wedding was there & it was. Thanks for the memories. Loved Yosemite also & thanks for that video.

[@Barry.Ellis.]

We’re 6 months into our full-time journey and this Lake Tahoe footage just tears me up with joy. There’s just so much to see and do. We’re way out in NH right now and headed west in August. To places we’ve never been. And we’re doing it with 4 boys in tow. You have no idea how inspiring you’ve been to us. Thank you so much for sharing your journeys.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

That is so nice to hear, thank you. Enjoy the trip there is a lot between NH and Lake Tahoe. 😀

[@paulonorato8765]

So I grew up in squaw Valley which is about 70 miles west of where you are right now… And my wife and I got married right in the courtyard that you’re standing. Love Lake Tahoe

[@monicalifornia_]

Nice to be here off season. No better time. We stay north shore and always expect to see little Joe, Adam and Haus coming over the mountain.

[@swansodi]

Lake Tahoe is just stunning. I loved going there when I civic in CA, took all my visitors there, great excuse for me to go. I enjoyed your video!!!

[@sherriweber7105]

The last time I was in Lake Tahoe it was over 20 years ago for a wedding. It was beautiful there. That lake is beautiful I was there in June and swam in it and there was still snow there. Thank you though for taking me to a place where I never been before Emerald Bay! I’m so glad Nathan found the drone. Hope it was repairable. I hope you have a great Fourth of July and great week and see you all soon! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@lustraveller717]

I absolutely love Lake Tahoe. It's 3 hours away from my house. Sand harbor is so beautiful and I love to stay in north Tahoe. It's quieter and more laid back. The water is very cold but I love it. Glad you were able to enjoy our little slice of heaven.

[@jamesarnold883]

Two of our favorite spots Tahoe and Yosemite.

[@michaelchailland3616]

Tahoe is Beautiful , I agree! Enjoy guys.

[@tahoesuz668]

Lake Tahoe is heaven on earth! I'm SO glad you were able to go out boating on the Lake and that you enjoyed your time in CA paradise!

[@barbaraprovoast4603]

You must drive north to Graeagle, California, Lakes Basin, and go hiking, swimming etc. it is beautiful!

[@TheRenocyclist]

Lake Tahoe is my happy place. Lived both in NorCal and Reno, so visited Truckee/Tahoe often. Sand Harbor is the best. So glad that you all were able to enjoy.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

I totally agree!

[@lindayaya59]

Beautiful and so nice of your friends to let you go on the boat. Also showing you around. Awesome. I love the water.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Yes, thank you

[@steveegbert7429]

So cool you made it to Tahoe! I grew up in Sparks, Nevada so spent a lot of time at Tahoe. Our neighbors rented a cabin up there every Summer so of course we went for a few days during that time. I remember climbing all over those huge granite boulders with the neighbor friend. Then most memorable was church camp for two weeks at Camp Galilee in my summer between 9th and 10th grades, not far from Sand Harbor. The last walks I had with my Dad before he got really bad with dementia was at Sand Harbor and Emerald Bay, so yeah, lots of memories at that gorgeous place.

[@penelopebartell840]

I'm with Nathan on the parking set up and importance of views! Worth it! We did the same thing at Henry's Lake State Park in Idaho to maximize our lake front view :)

[@kliddleable]

Lake Tahoe is insane on the 4th of July. Have lots of fun! Ca boating law requires life jackets for all children under the age of 13.

[@kathymills1959]

Visited Lake Tahoe in Sept 2017 and we had snow flurries - it was beautiful!! We took the Dixie boat tour of the lake and saw the tea house, home and gorgeous waterfalls you saw and it was just beautiful!

[@TM-eo8eb]

Nothing like Lake Tahoe!

[@jmasury6265]

Lake Tahoe is also one of my favorite places. Its just beautiful! The entire Sierra Nevadas are breathtaking.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

It really is!

[@TravelingKristin]

Visited Lake Tahoe twice, love it and can't wait to go back!

[@MattHayashi]

This really warms my heart! Tahoe is a staple for us and I'm so glad you got to experience it! Marissa you help us in ways beyond because you demonstrate the importance of creating memories with family. LJMJ creates memories with families by experiences and you get to take home new ideas and creativity. Great video!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thank you so much!!

[@patbeaudoin4237]

What a beautiful place I would never want to leave. Wonderful video thanks for sharing. 🙂🇨🇦❤

I love how the Canada Goose just forms out of the clouds and flies across the sky at 17:48.

Lake Tahoe just moved up on my list that water is amazing!! Thank you for sharing 🙏💕

[@letitiadarling5330]

So glad you were able to go to Lake Tahoe. I live about 90 minutes from north shore and I call Tahoe my mountain ocean! I have seen some good size white caps on the lake.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

So cool!

[@donnaharris4459]

What a beautiful and stunning place. Thank you for sharing your journey with us, you're such a wonderful family. Take care have a super week. ❤❤🇬🇧

You’re in our backyard! So to say, Lake Tahoe is our go to all the time! We love it!🥰

[@kimproffer695]

Sooo beautiful! Lake Tahoe is my most favorite place in this country. My dad and stepmother have lived there for about 35 yrs and live 2 miles up the road and have the most beautiful view I’ve ever seen. They live here in Florida in the cold season. Have an awesome time!

[@martinlake112]

My wife and I said our vows on the shores of lake Tahoe at Sand Harbour in 1978. It's always been a special place for us.

[@jolenecreech7648]

Left my 💜 in Lake Tahoe!

[@joelfeiock4718]

I remember going to lake Tahoe our family's final trip before we as kids went off to high school. at the time the cartwright house form Bonanza was up there. This was an awesome place to go fro a week.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Oh wow!

[@judyp4421]

I lived in Lake Tahoe and loved it. So beautiful!

[@stratos175escape7]

I now must add this to my bucket list!!!! Enjoy the road and stay safe.

[@christineboes5824]

wow. living vicariously through your awesome family

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thank you.

[@rickuyeda4818]

1989, my girlfriend and I took our first vacation together and went to Lake Tahoe. I drove a lowered '87 Nissan Hard Body P/U with a camper shell. As we drove down their Main Street, some redneck screamed "Go back where you came from!". I rented a Condo near North Shore. Too bad they closed the Ponderosa Village. If you drained Lake Tahoe, California would be covered in 2 feet of water. Did you know? The reason the Hearst Family gave up Hearst Castle is the property taxes were too much. I suspect the same thing with Emerald Bay.

[@jamiharder766]

We are blessed to live 40 minutes away from this gem. It’s one of our favorite spots. Glad you enjoyed your visit. The water is always 🧊 🥶 😆

[@ThatOneDudeNick]

I've always wanted to go up there. I've been hesitant because I'm not really into being in the water, but it seems like a nice getaway from the heat down here in southern Nevada.

[@stampdealer]

My friend, as a fellow Las Vegan and someone who has spent time in Northern Nevada, do yourself a favor and get up there. You don't have to get in the water to enjoy the splendor of Tahoe. Plus, you can visit Virginia City, Carson City, and just get out and be awed by the glorious expansiveness of our great state.

[@Becizzle]

Lake Tahoe is amazing

[@wescat2]

I recently found your channel and went to your merch page and was excited you had hats. Then saw the end of this video. 👍 I love hats.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Yah! Thanks so much for watching! We appreciate that.

[@cindyball7545]

We stopped at Tahoe on the way home from Klamath 10 years ago. It was beautiful for sure. We will get back there one day. The falls were beautiful! Love the hats.

[@imkwuzn]

Lake Tahoe is one of the most beautiful places on Earth. I love to camp there or stay in one of the large Hotels on the Southshore and gamble! It’s like the best of Vegas in the middle of paradise. ❤️

[@dianepiranian1224]

Ok…. You’ve sold me on Lake Tahoe…. It’s a MUST SEE!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

It’s amazing 🤩

[@rawilson7768]

Wow I can’t believe Lake Tahoe was so calm. So pretty with the mountains with snow in the background.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

It really is!

[@robinsonsontheroll5482]

I’m so fortunate to live an hour and a half away from South Lake Tahoe. It’s amazing 🤩

[@RobertGronachon]

I was lucky enough to do the "bike the west" tour of Tahoe... all the way around the lake, many years in a row. the views can't be beat

[@DoulaInReno]

I live in Reno, NV! You're so close. We're full-time stationary and it's great that you're in our neck of the woods!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

So cool!

[@monikazunker2282]

We moved to Kentucky from the valley in California and miss Lake Tahoe so much. ☹️. When ever we went there a calm would come over me and I was so happy. I hated going home.

[@peteacevedo3411]

Beautiful and that boat ride was awesome we love Lake Tahoe

[@michelleowens3949]

Lake Tahoe is one of my all time favorites. My hubby’s family spend a week there ever summer. It is so beautiful!!!

[@karencaskey6210]

I feel so lucky to only live 2 hours away from Tahoe. We were there just 2 weeks ago on a backpacking trip from DL Bliss State Park to Emerald Bay State Park. Got to camp right on Emerald Bay for 2 nights. So beautiful and so peaceful! Vikingsholm is a cool place to see (done the tour before). It's actually open for tours again, but I think you were there too early in the season before they started up. Safe travels!!

[@nanapam1267]

We’ve been there and it’s probably the most beautiful place I’ve ever been! I did get scared driving there from Carson City, NV where my husband’s cousin lives. My husband’s aunt dealt blackjack until she was like 90 years old in Lake Tahoe! In the winter it’s pretty harsh, unless you love to ski, then you probably wouldn’t mind. Thanks for sharing this! I love it! Makes me want to go back.

[@cynthiaincolorado3373]

Wow!!! Emerald Bay!!

@@LessJunkMoreJourney I loved hearing the delight and sense of wonderful in your voices as you exploded that beautiful area! BTW not a lot of people get up to the top of the tea house because it’s hard to access. It’s a beautiful view from there isn’t it?! So glad you went there. I’m really enjoying this trip! 😍

That is a great idea on the patch hats. I really love this trip. I always light up too because I’ve seen all the movies and pics. You know that rock you jumped off. It had the shape of a shark coming up outta the water. This was an awesome video. Thank you so much for your journey and sharing. Stay safe.
