I've been experimenting with lower dosages. A hiker's dose is designed to keep you aware enough to follow trails and enhance experiences with nature. It's double a museum dose.

I took them at a very pleasant creek at the end of a long meadow. Everything had a glow to it. Colors were well defined and bright. I saw a young coyote trying to get water from the creek. I found a garter snake. Fish and birds. Dozens of flower species were still in bloom. Found a swimming hole and dived in. This dose is really good for connecting with nature. Interacting with other people at camp wasn't a problem at all 2 hours after the peak.

After dinner, I finally started to settle when a bear approached my camp. Cars were telling me it was right in front of me. I couldn't see it. The black bears in Tahoe are brown and blend right into the ground. By the time I noticed it, the monster was right there. It went off in the opposite direction. Then it turned around and looked right at me. I saw two massive glowing eyes. Majestic experience.

Amazing trip. Taking the lower dose kept me aware. The experience left me feeling closer to nature. Seeing a young coyote is very rare. And the bear was a crazy experience.

Lake Tahoe has been my family's favorite vacation spot for 4 generations. I went there for my Honeymoon. I really love Lake Tahoe. I'm finally coming back.

I want to take extra effort to keep Tahoe blue.

I'm bringing a small inflatable boat to float around in. The main lake seems way too big and choppy for that. Does anyone recommend a smaller lake for inflatable boats? All I want to do is lie in a boat for 5 hours straight.

Do inflatables still need inspection if everything you are bringing is brand new in the box? I've heard mixed messages. I have lifejackets for each of us. I'm aware of the clean and dry rules.

Should I still wash everything every time I go to a different body of water within the Tahoe area? Including my water shoes?

Are there any river floats beyond the Truckee River Float that are geared towards adults?

We're doing public transit for South Shore. Can you use Lake Link to bar hop? I'm also willing to carpool or use the bus.

Thanks everyone, looking forward to seeing you all.

This was a 10/10 film for me. I'm surprised no one has posted about it in here. It's an Science/Fantasy indie film from France.

The world is based on future climate projections. Very reminiscent of works from Ursula K. Le Guin.

It's the first film I've watched that I think defines the genre.

Nothing was perfect for us from the start. We have a daughter with severe medical needs. We've had financial struggles. But we always made it through together. I feel so free around her. We make a great team.

Today, we had a phone appointment with a doctor. I started stacking one of our kids' toys on the table. She flicked it, and my face was shocked. We laughed together for a minute, trying to make sure the doctor didn't hear us.

After the appointment, I told her about a romantic dream I had last night. She had the same dream. Same details. Details that seem beyond coincidence.

We just had our 16th anniversary. These moments make me fall in love with her all over again.
