点评:We have visited Zephyr Cove Beach and Marina area on previous visits and consider it one of the most beautiful spots along Lake Tahoe. I called before we visited and I was told they now charge $12 to enter the area. When I explained I was only interested in snapping a few pictures and was not planning to stay for more than 5 minutes toward the end of the day, I was told that would be no problem. When I arrived, a woman at a little shack told me I would need to pay $12 even if I just wanted to breathe the air. I thought she was joking, but she started studying my car and told me I better not try to sneak in. She closed her toll booth shortly afterward and everyone was able to access the beach area freely. I am not sure what caused the very old, dirty blonde-headed cantankerous woman to initiate such a fit, but I hope I never see her again. Is she the poster child for this beautiful area? Besides that, the place is breathtaking -- just don't pay $12 to breathe the air, though.
翻译:我们以前来过 Zephyr Cove 海滩和码头区,认为这是太浩湖沿岸最美丽的景点之一。我去之前打过电话,被告知现在进入该地区需要 12 美元。当我解释说我只想拍几张照片,不打算在一天结束时停留超过 5 分钟时,我被告知这没问题。当我到达时,一个小棚屋里的一个女人告诉我,即使我只是想呼吸新鲜空气,也需要支付 12 美元。我以为她在开玩笑,但她开始研究我的车,告诉我最好不要偷偷溜进去。不久之后,她关闭了收费站,每个人都可以自由进入海滩区。我不知道是什么让这个非常老、金发碧眼、脾气暴躁的女人大发雷霆,但我希望我再也见不到她了。她是这个美丽地区的代言人吗?除此之外,这个地方令人叹为观止——但不要花 12 美元来呼吸空气。
