Description

Fannette is the only island to be found in all of Lake Tahoe. It is located in beautiful Emerald Bay on the west shore of the lake. A sparsely timbered, brush covered upthrust of granite that rises 150 feet above the water, Fannette Island was not always known by that name. During the past 100 years it has been known as Coquette, Fannette, Baranoff, Dead Man's, Hermit's, and Emerald Isle. Fannette was the name that finally stuck....Fr. CA.gov

You certainly know how to create a mood using the right pov, Rey. The first word I thought of on seeing this was "serene." That little island looks like the perfect place for a retreat. The forest seems to be hugging the shoreline, and who wouldn't want to get as close as possible to such beauty? (Confession: I've been to Tahoe once, and when we took a "driving break", I climbed down across several boulders to see what the water was like. It was FREEZING! In the middle of August! But that didn't make the lake any less beautiful...) #11283386
