How a Fodor's jab served as a wake-up call for Lake Tahoe

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 20:39:45 GMT

Lake Tahoe tourism officials were surprised, and a bit miffed, when a respected international travel guide put the iconic alpine lake straddling the California-Nevada line on its list of places to stay away from this year because of the harmful ecological effects of overtourism.But with an influx of visitors and new full-time residents due to the COVID-19 pandemic already forcing local leaders to revisit the decades-old conversation about overcrowding, “Fodor's No List 2023” may have served as a wake-up call that some sort of change is necessary.“I can’t go to my own beaches anymore,” said Susan Daniels, 70, a lifelong resident of Kings Beach, California, whose parents met at a Tahoe-area ski resort in 1952. That includes her favorite, Sand Harbor, which lies just across the Nevada border and is known for its turquoise water and rock formations. “I cannot go to Sand Harbor, where I grew up, unless I get in line at 7 in the morning.”Since Fodor's declared last November that “Lake Tah...

The reason cannabis extractors and manufacturers use this word has to do with a significant chemical transformation. Interestingly, when we “decarb” weed, we change the atomic structure of significant cannabinoids like CBD. It’s essential for CBD customers to know how decarboxylation works to ensure they’re getting the most use out of their hemp products.What’s The Point Of Using Decarboxylation For CBD Hemp?As we’ve already established, decarboxylation involves using heat to transform the natural cannabinoids in hemp flowers. If you want to get more technical, decarboxylation removes a “carboxyl ring” from raw cannabinoids, which turns them into the standard cannabinoids we’re more familiar with.You may hear some hemp exper...

I knew on the road I was pitching a little better, but that’s awesome.”Alex Bregman homered in the ninth to help secure the win for France (5-3). France, a 28-year-o...
