Chris, Carol, CJ, and I are off to see Genoa, Nevada today. On Sunday we had seen a man wearing a Genoa Fire Department t-shirt at the car show we visited - that peaked my interest. In addition, Carol and Chris had been there many years before. The route chosen was to use NV-207 to get to US-50 taking us alongside Lake Tahoe, followed by NV-431 through Spooner Summit to US-395. Once in Douglas county there is an exit directly to Genoa ("Jen" "Oh" "Ah"). We would be looking for photo opportunities on the way.

We stopped at Sand Harbor to see if it would be a good place but the entrance price of $12 per car put us off. Up the road we stopped at a Nevada State Park overlook which had trails to the water's edge. We got some pictures there and realized that Sand Harbor might be worth the entry fee another time. Near the turn off for Incline Village we stopped and took some pictures of the private beach and boat doc areas. We drove down Lakeshore Drive in Incline Village and realized there was no view of Lake Tahoe due to all the private homes filling the beach.
Spooner Summit Color
At Spooner Summit we found color in the aspens. It made us all feel happy to have a chance to wander through the area trying to get some good photos. Sunlight makes the colors stand out but also peeks through the gaps and makes hot spots you need to watch out for. We spent over an hour exploring and photographing this wonderful little area.

Genoa is a small town with a wonderful little restaurant called Genoa Station Bar and Grill located on the main street. Candy, the proprietor, served us food made by hand by her mother. It was all very tasty and we shared a peach cobbler desert that made us all love this place. If you go to Genoa, Nevada try it out.
