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^).
