Lake Tahoe is the backyard playground for many in the Bay Area, so earlier this year we asked the Bay Curious audience what questions they had about this recreational hot spot. We collaborated with TahoeLand, a podcast from Capital Public Radio, to answer them!
– Are there dead bodies at the bottom of the lake?
– What’s the story behind Tahoe Tessie?
– What does it mean to keep Tahoe blue?
– Why is keeping Tahoe blue important?
