South Lake Tahoe part 2

 After a day out, time to head to my accommodations, take a look around, slumber then head home in the morning.  Walking along the border between 2 states.  The left side where gambling is legal and the right side where its technically not legal.  The mountains rising in the distance make up parts of Heavenly ski resort

 With some free time on my hands, I took the drive up to Lake Tahoe for some R and R.  Theres a small vista point just after you crest Echo Summit.  You can peer down at Lake Tahoe airport as well as the casinos at the state border

 I am a generation of the video game era.  I grew up with Pong, Atari 2600, and Colecovision.I was at the dawn of Nintendo, Sega, Playstation, and Xbox.  Through all those years the arcades would be the test beds for the games that would then be converted to the home console.  In part of that time, beginning around the 1980's or so, I delved into the pinball machines and enjoyed playing with them.  To this day, I may not start up an arcade machine but I will definitely drop some money on a pinball.  There are a number of pinball joints across the US.  This is the first I have been to and I dont know why I hadnt gone before.  On the main throughfare in the island community of Alameda is the Pacific Pinball Museum, https://www.pacificpinball.org/
