"ScenicTours" around Tahoe competes for ski time

Wed, 19 Feb 2003 14:14:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tam189 - I was sure when I boarded this all day Lake Tahoe-Truckee-Virginia City bus tour that it could not possibly rival the views and experiences of my recent ski adventures, but I was so mistaken. Really now, narrated bus tours are just for senior citizens,...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tam189 - I'm a cheapskate, you know this- but this thing has been very convenient, although expensive addition to my home office so far. But when you count up the cost of all the things it replaces then its not so bad a deal.

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author tam189 - After seeing some photos blown up by a friend who had a higher res camera, I was ready for an upgrade, but being the thrifty shopper I am, I was not willing to part with 600.00 for one like his. So I picked up a SIPIX SC3300 on sale for 149.00 after...
