Sorry, your post was a little too late for my trip. I'll look up that area for next time, though.
Since it was a very heavy snow year, there were still feet of snow on the ground at the higher elevations, despite it being about 80 degrees F (no fair! hiking in both deep snow and heat). Still, some good hiking gotten in anyway. Since almost noone here had any comments, I have to assume that few of you have been to Lake Tahoe. Just to let you know what you're missing, a "postcard" photo from the trip:
