A gentleman by the name of Gunnar Henrioulle has spent several years aquiring a great number of antique trolley cars, on his property in South Lake Tahoe. His dream is to see a light rail system, powered by solar, wind, or some other form of "clean energy" around the lake. You'll be able to drive up to the Lake park your car, get in an antique trolley that will take you to the ski resorts, casinos, and hotels at 40 MPH. Substantially better than the 1/2 MPH you can expect sitting in traffic trying to get into the Basin! This will also give you the ability to fly into South Lake Tahoe and actually have a ride from the Airport to the hotel as the cabs don't normally make this trip. Gunnar is having some trouble with the locals in the Tahoe area. South Lake paid $350,000 for a guideway feasability study to determine the best form of mass transit to be used around the lake. The study suggested using trolley cars... Yeah Gunnar. The city now tries really hard to avoid mentioning the study.... Boo City. The Casinos want to put up a monorail system. This will basiclly prevent you from being able to stop at the other hotels along the route and take you directly to the casinos, giving them tremendous benefit. If you want more info on this you can call Gunnar at (916) 541-2959 or Mark Severson at (916) 972-7524 or Steven Lackner at (916) 362-9984 Call these people to show them your support, and call the South Lake Tahoe's Mayors office and tell them how great of an idea it is to get the cars out of the Basin and reduce the Smog. And how tremendous it is that they are working so well with Gunnar 8^).
