My goodness, we thought it was busy in that area the end of last week through the weekend. We like Walker because, like our town, it does not have a signal light.

 

It was extremely busy on highway 88 over the crest on Sunday. Carson and Meiss parking at the summit were filled and overflowing. Caples dam parking was overflowing onto 88 as was Lake Margaret, and Shealor Lake. Thunder Mountain was full.

 

Silver Lake was a zoo. Everyone has now discovered the "potholes" thanks to social media. Parked vehicles interfered with traffic flow along with people not paying attention and wandering into the highway. This is always a caution area.

 

All in all, it looked pretty darn busy to us.

 

IMO the hwy 88 area suffers from the "Tahoe Effect"and from what I have heard Tahoe is out of control. Walker is just a drive-by. 

It is so sad about the potholes near Silver Lake. I stopped going there more than ten years ago.
