So you know in the movie Christmas Vacation when they drive into the mountains to cut a Christmas tree? Well, we did that today!
Turns out there are plenty of National Forest Service offices in California that offer this, but the closest one to us was the Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit. It costs $10 to purchase the permit, and they give you maps showing areas in the forest where you can cut. So this photo was taken at one of the locations where we looked. The trees tend to be thinner than what you get at a tree farm, but the tree we chose is probably my favorite tree we've ever gotten. I suppose because of the family adventure involved.
