🎯 这周的样子
基地扎在 Emerald Bay 湾口的 Eagle Point——全 Tahoe 风景最贵的位置、州立公园最便宜的价格（$25档）。工作节奏不变：5点起、6–14点上班（Starlink 主力，South Lake Tahoe 城区25分钟=史上最强兜底），下午湖边和山里全是你们的。周日晚在过渡营过一夜，周一下班后正式入住。这周还多了个新玩具：自带充气船（周日 Carson City Walmart 现买）——湾内贴岸小划、Fannette 岛、周六清晨镜面湖。
5:30
绿=晨光散步（日出6:01–6:06，比海边晚）；斜纹=睡觉。日落 20:05–20:12。
🌤️ 天气（NWS 实时预报，更新于 8/2 晨 · Emerald Bay 网格）——教科书级的一周
全周晴、微风（0–10mph）、夜里15–17°C——被子够用，Camp Mode 压力小。划船窗口全周都开着（下午起风照旧只在湾内）。高海拔紫外线强：防晒+多喝水（头两天可能轻微高反，正常）。唯一的每日仪式：早上看一眼 AirNow 烟况。

💻 工作骨架（细节沿用 Week 1 北海岸页的💻标签）
- 📡 Starlink（主力，家测✅）——湖景机位=开阔天空；掉线≤30秒等卫星切换，持续掉→查障碍图挪碟
- 📶 手机热点——湾区口袋里信号弱，别指望；WiFi通话照旧开着
- 🚗 SLT 城区（25分钟）——大城镇：满格信号+咖啡馆+连锁店早开门，6–8点真空期在这里不存在。关键会议日可以提前进城办公
- ☎️ 电话拨入——dial-in+PIN 存本地，永远的保命绳
🥾 下午菜单（全部≤30分钟车程）
| 玩法 | 在哪 | 说明 |
|---|---|---|
| 🏰 Vikingsholm + 湾底海滩 | 营地边步道口 | 1mi 陡下；古堡外观免费（进馆有票）；Fannette 岛是加州唯一湖心岛 |
| 💦 Eagle Falls / Eagle Lake | 车2min | 短瀑布道+2mi 湖圈；Desolation 边缘，日用许可步道口自助 |
| 🥾 Rubicon Trail | 营地直走 | 湖岸悬崖线到 Bliss；随走随折返 |
| 🛶 自带充气船 | 营地下水 | 早晨=镜面最佳；下午只在湾内贴岸。线路：周一浅水练 → 周四 Fannette 岛 → 周三 El Dorado 充电划 → 周六压轴 |
| 🏖️ Baldwin / Pope 海滩 + Tallac 历史区 | 15min | 下午躺平选项；沙滩+老庄园 |
| 🌌 星空 | 营地 | 高海拔晴夜；月相后半周更暗更好 |
| 🚡 想花钱的备选 | SLT | Heavenly 观光缆车（贵，可跳过） |
🎣 钓鱼：要执照（7月的过期了）——CA 单日票 ~$21.09（CDFW 2026 费表，8/2查；结账价为准）。岸边/小船近岸说实话钓获率一般——当玩，别当饭。🦞 更对路的瘾：Tahoe 满湖入侵种小龙虾，傍晚浅水石区小网+桶就能抓（同要执照；禁止售卖；州园营地先问 host 有无额外规定）。赶海套装留家里——高山湖没有潮间带，它属于 Week 2 的海岸。
🚗 去程（周日）——为 Carson City Walmart 大采购改走 I-80 北线
| 段 | 路线 | 时间 |
|---|---|---|
| Santa Clara → Carson City | I-680 → I-80 东（翻 Donner 山口 7,239ft）→ Reno → US-395 南（导航中途排一次15分钟快充：Vacaville/Rocklin/Auburn/Truckee 任一） | ~4h15 含快充 |
| 🛒 Walmart + ⚡ 超充 | 3770 US-395 S · 超充 911 Jacks Valley Rd 就在旁边（8/2查，以车机为准）——购物的一小时=免费充电时间，出门 ~90% | ~1h |
| Carson → Fallen Leaf | US-50 西翻 Spooner 山口（7,146ft）→ 湖东岸 → SLT → Hwy 89 | ~50min |
| 共 ~320 mi · 12:30 出发 → ~19:45 报到（日落20:12前） | ~7h 全含 | |
⚠️ 比 US-50 直达多 ~80mi，但购物+充电+入营串成一条线，免去到营后再折返（US-50 直达线留给回程：全程下坡，Placerville 补电）。周日上山车流一般还好；Hwy 89 Emerald Bay 段停车下午紧张——你们住在里面，免疫。
📏 从 Eagle Point 出发
| Vikingsholm 步道口 | 2min | Eagle Falls 步道口 | 2min |
| D.L. Bliss / Rubicon北口 | 10min | Baldwin/Pope 海滩 | 15min |
| Fallen Leaf / Camp Rich | 20min | SLT 城区（超充/Safeway/咖啡） | 25min |
| Sugar Pine Point | 30min | 家（Santa Clara） | 4h15 |
⚡ 充电全案见下卡。📵 Emerald Bay 口袋信号弱：每天出发前把导航/离线内容设好（习惯照旧）。
⚡ 全周充电作战图（Model Y LR · 出发 100%）
| # | 什么时候 | 哪里 | 充到 | 为什么 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ① | 周日（购物即充电） | 途中15分钟快充（导航排）→ Carson City 超充（911 Jacks Valley Rd · Walmart 旁 · 8/2查以车机为准） | ~90% | 买船买菜那一小时白送一次满充；翻 Spooner 到 Fallen Leaf 还剩 ~80%——全周最从容的开局 |
| ② | 周三傍晚（本来就进城） | SLT 超充（2977 US-50 · 8桩 V3 250kW · 24h · Safeway 就在旁边 · El Dorado Beach ~1mi） | ~90% | 全周锚点：冰+菜+顺手下水划一圈——那40分钟把周四五全包了 |
| ③ | 周五分岔前 或 周六早（划完船） | SLT 超充 · 咖啡/收尾时间 20分钟 | ~85% | 回家走 US-50 直线 238mi 全程下坡占便宜，85% 一口气到家（或路上 Placerville 快停15分钟——二选一） |
排队备胎：Stateline 超充（NV 赌场区，10分钟）。都是 8月周中，大概率没队。
🔋 电都花在哪（估算——出发后拿真实数校准）
| 消耗 | 估算 | 一周合计 |
|---|---|---|
| Camp Mode 过夜（夜 15–17°C，比7月海边暖和） | 5–9%/晚 | 6晚 ≈ 35–50% |
| 白天办公（Starlink + 俩电脑，走车电） | ~1.5%/天 | 5天 ≈ 8% |
| 🧊 冷藏箱（走冰不走电——这就是不买车载电冰箱的原因） | 0% | 0%（冰在周日/周三/周五顺手补） |
| 🛡️ Sentry（只在离车时开：Walmart/步道口/城里） | ~1%/天 | ≈ 5%（若 24h 常开=8–12%/天，一周吃掉半包电） |
| 本地开（山路：换位/瀑布/进城/步道口） | — | ~100mi ≈ 25% |
| 模拟账 | 周日到营 ~80% → 周三傍晚 ~45% ⚡② → 90% → 周五中午 ~60%（分岔随便选）→ 周六早 ~50% ⚡③ → 85% → 到家 ~20%。全程不破「睡前 ≥40%」红线，且周三晚留 ~50% 余量 ✅ | |

🎯 The shape of the week
Base camp on Eagle Point at the mouth of Emerald Bay — Tahoe's most expensive view at the state system's cheapest price ($25 tier). The rhythm holds: up at 5, work 6–14 (Starlink primary, South Lake Tahoe's full-size town 25 min away = the strongest fallback you've ever had), afternoons for the lake and the mountains. Transit camp Sunday night; move into the bay after work Monday. And there's a new toy this week: your own inflatable boat (bought Sunday at the Carson City Walmart) — shoreline paddles inside the bay, Fannette Island, Saturday's glass-water dawn.
5:30
Green = twilight stroll (sunrise 6:01–6:06, later than the coast); hatched = sleep. Sunset 20:05–20:12.
🌤️ Weather (live NWS forecast, updated the morning of 8/2 · Emerald Bay grid) — a textbook week
Sunny all week, light wind (0–10 mph), nights 15–17°C/59–63°F — the duvet covers it and Camp Mode barely works. The paddle window stays open all week (afternoon breeze = bay-only, as always). Altitude notes: fierce UV (sunscreen, hats) and drink extra water the first two days. The one daily ritual: a morning AirNow smoke glance.
📋 Booking status board
| Item | Status | Notes |

🌐 ReserveCalifornia (Ray saw 8/3+ availability on 8/1)Vikingsholm trailhead 2 minThe Rubicon Trail leaves from camp
⚠️ Two iron rules: ① book a Standard site (not Tent Only); ② everything with a scent goes in the bear locker — Tahoe bears open car doors; unlike the coast, nothing edible stays in the car overnight.
🌙 Transit-night candidates for 8/2 (check in order — all bookable today)
| Camp | Book via | From Eagle Point | Showers | Monday-work quality |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ① D.L. Bliss SP | RC (same checkout flow) | 10min | ✅ | Pines with openings; Meeks Bay/Tahoma 15 min for signal |
| ② Lower Eagle Point / other loops | RC — check 8/2 (maybe only Upper was full) | 0min 🏆 | ✅ | If it shows: zero moves, seamless Monday |
| ③ Sugar Pine Point · General Creek | RC | 30min | ✅ | 175 sites = likeliest; sparse pines; Tahoma 5 min |

Prices: the state parks price at RC checkout; Fallen Leaf/city camp at theirs. Any of the five works — work 6–14 at the transit camp Monday, pack at 14:00, into Eagle Point by 15:00.

| 12:30 | 🚗 I-80 east via Reno → US-395 south (~285 mi to Carson City) · one ~15-min nav-picked splash charge (use it to wake up — you're on ~4.5 h of sleep; swap drivers / stop more if drowsy) |
| ~17:15 | 🛒 Carson City Walmart (3770 US-395 S): boat + paddles + pump · PFDs ×2 · cooler · block ice · wipes · 2 days of groceries (list on /packing 🛒) · ⚡ Supercharger right there (911 Jacks Valley Rd, checked 8/2 — car nav is the truth), charge to ~90% while shopping · dinner in Carson (camp comes too late for a first-night dark-kitchen) |
| ~18:45 | 🚗 US-50 west over Spooner Summit → east shore → Fallen Leaf (~50 min) |
| ~19:45 | 🏕️ Check-in → FIRST move: 📡 dish up + speed test + video call (sunset 20:12, usable light to 20:40 — test while you can see; tomorrow's workday must not be the first test) → cooler/food into the bear locker → hot shower → asleep 21:30–22:00 (extra water at altitude; 5 AM reset tomorrow) |
Mon 8/3 · Work, then move into Emerald Bay 6–14 work~3 PM check-in

| 18:00 | 🥾 Two-lake views from the tip · sunset 20:11 · asleep 21:30 |
Tue 8/4 6–14 workVikingsholm + a bay swim
| 14:30 | 🏰 Vikingsholm: trailhead at camp — 1 steep mile down to the bay floor (≈500 ft back up), the Scandinavian castle + Fannette Island views; swim the bay (~18°C/65°F in August — bracing, glorious) |
| 18:00 | 🍳 Camp dinner · review the Starlink log |
Wed 8/5 · Same-loop hop day 6–14 work006 → 030 Premium
| 11:45 | ☕ A working coffee break doubles as the pack-up (everything lives in the car — 15 minutes): out of 006 by 12:00 → roll to the day-use lot / beside 030, Starlink stays up, keep working |
| 14:00 | 🏕️ Officially into 030 (Premium) — likely the view row, likely better sky · re-run the obstruction scan |
| 14:30 | 💦 Eagle Falls + Eagle Lake (trailhead 2 min; self-issue permit) → evening ⚡ SLT Supercharge + ice + 2 days of groceries (the week's town day) — and the paddle-while-charging move: El Dorado Beach sits ~1 mi from the stalls; plug in, paddle the shoreline, come back to a full car |
Thu 8/6 · Hop day ② 6–14 work030 → 014
| 11:45 | ☕ Second coffee-break move (a practiced routine now): out of 030 by 12:00 → roll beside 014, Starlink stays up, keep working |
| 14:00 | 🏕️ Into 014 · one obstruction scan → read the water: no whitecaps → 🛶 paddle to Fannette Island (~0.7 mi inside the bay, shore-hugging the whole way — the week's signature run); whitecaps → 🥾 the Rubicon Trail instead (from camp, turn around anywhere) |
| 20:00 | 🌌 Milky Way over the lake (the moon darkens through the week — good timing) |
Fri 8/7 · The fork 6–14 or 6–11:30per the watch
| Plan A (8/7 night freed) | Normal workday to 14:00 → Baldwin/Pope beaches or the Tallac historic estates → one more night, Saturday finale intact |
| Plan B (no luck) | Work 6:00–11:30 → checkout 12:00 → finish 12:30–14:00 at an SLT café → either one more night in town (city camp / Fallen Leaf) · or · drive home (~20:30 arrival) |
Sat 8/8 · Finale 🛶 glass waterhome
| 7:30–10:00 | 🛶 Paddle Emerald Bay at first light (mornings are a mirror; afternoons blow) — your own boat, straight off the beach, zero rental. Lap Fannette Island. The week's crown |
| 11:00 | 🚗 Home (4h15, Placerville top-up) · or roll into Week 2, the Golden Tide Week: home Saturday night, north on Sunday 8/9 — the tide table is waiting |
💻 The work skeleton (details live on the north-coast Week 1 page's 💻 tab)
- 📡 Starlink (primary, home-tested ✅) — a lake-view site = open sky; drops ≤30 s ride out satellite handoffs; recurring drops → obstruction map → move the dish
- 📶 Phone hotspot — weak in the bay pocket, don't lean on it; WiFi-calling stays on
- 🚗 SLT town (25 min) — a real city: full bars, cafés, chains that open early — the 6–8 AM vacuum doesn't exist here. Pre-position in town on critical-meeting days
- ☎️ Dial-in — numbers + PINs saved locally, the eternal lifeline
🥾 The afternoon menu (everything ≤30 min)
| Thing | Where | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 🏰 Vikingsholm + the bay-floor beach | trailhead at camp | 1 steep mile down; castle exterior free (tour tickets extra); Fannette is California's only lake island |
| 💦 Eagle Falls / Eagle Lake | 2 min by car | short falls loop + 2 mi to the lake; Desolation edge, self-issue permit at the trailhead |
| 🥾 Rubicon Trail | from camp on foot | the cliff-line shore walk to Bliss; turn around anywhere |
| 🛶 Your own inflatable | off the camp beach | mornings = glass; afternoons stay inside the bay, near shore. Arc: Mon shallows practice → Thu Fannette Island → Wed El Dorado charging-paddle → Sat finale |
| 🏖️ Baldwin / Pope beaches + Tallac estates | 15 min | the lie-flat option; sand + historic mansions |
| 🌌 Stargazing | camp | altitude + clear nights; darker in the back half of the week |
| 🚡 The splurge option | SLT | Heavenly scenic gondola (pricey, skippable) |
🎣 Fishing: needs a license (July's expired) — CA 1-day ≈ $21.09 (CDFW 2026 fee schedule, checked 8/2; checkout price is the truth). Honest note: shore/near-shore catch rates here are mediocre — fish for fun, never for dinner plans. 🦞 The better itch: Tahoe is overrun with invasive signal crayfish — dusk, shallow rocks, a hand net and a bucket (same license; sale prohibited; ask the camp host about park-specific rules first). The tide-pooling kit stays home — an alpine lake has no intertidal zone; that kit belongs to Week 2's coast.
🚗 Getting there (Sunday) — rerouted via I-80 for the Carson City Walmart haul
| Leg | Route | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Santa Clara → Carson City | I-680 → I-80 east (over Donner Summit, 7,239 ft) → Reno → US-395 south (nav slots one ~15-min splash: Vacaville/Rocklin/Auburn/Truckee) | ~4h15 incl. splash |
| 🛒 Walmart + ⚡ SC | 3770 US-395 S · Supercharger at 911 Jacks Valley Rd right there (checked 8/2, car nav is the truth) — the shopping hour doubles as the charge, leave at ~90% | ~1h |
| Carson → Fallen Leaf | US-50 west over Spooner Summit (7,146 ft) → east shore → SLT → Hwy 89 | ~50min |
| ~320 mi total · out at 12:30 → check-in ~19:45 (beats the 20:12 sunset) | ~7h all-in | |
⚠️ ~80 mi longer than straight US-50, but it chains shopping + charging + camp into one line with zero backtracking (US-50 direct is the ride home: all descent, Placerville top-up). Sunday uphill traffic is usually fine; the Emerald Bay parking scrum is an afternoon problem — you live inside it, immune.
📏 From Eagle Point
| Vikingsholm trailhead | 2min | Eagle Falls trailhead | 2min |
| D.L. Bliss / Rubicon north end | 10min | Baldwin/Pope beaches | 15min |
| Fallen Leaf / Camp Rich | 20min | SLT town (Supercharger/Safeway/cafés) | 25min |
| Sugar Pine Point | 30min | Home (Santa Clara) | 4h15 |
⚡ The full charging plan is the next card. 📵 The bay pocket is signal-weak: set nav/offline items before leaving camp each day (the usual habit).
⚡ The week's charging battle plan (Model Y LR · leave at 100%)
| # | When | Where | To | Why |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ① | Sunday (shopping = charging) | One ~15-min splash en route (nav's pick) → Carson City Supercharger (911 Jacks Valley Rd · beside the Walmart · checked 8/2, car nav is the truth) | ~90% | The boat-and-groceries hour gifts a full charge; over Spooner to Fallen Leaf still holding ~80% — the calmest opening a week has ever had |
| ② | Wednesday evening (the town day anyway) | SLT Supercharger (2977 US-50 · 8× V3 250 kW · 24/7 · Safeway next door · El Dorado Beach ~1 mi) | ~90% | The week's anchor: ice + groceries + a shoreline paddle off the stalls — those 40 minutes cover Thu/Fri |
| ③ | Friday pre-fork or Saturday morning (post-paddle) | SLT Supercharger · a 20-min coffee/wrap-up | ~85% | Home rides straight US-50 — 238 mi of descent; 85% makes it nonstop (or a 15-min Placerville splash; dealer's choice) |
Queue backup: the Stateline Supercharger (NV casino strip, 10 min). Mid-week August — queues unlikely.
🔋 Where the electrons go (estimates — calibrate with real numbers once out)
| Consumer | Estimate | Week total |
|---|---|---|
| Camp Mode overnight (15–17°C/59–63°F nights — warmer than the July coast) | 5–9%/night | 6 nights ≈ 35–50% |
| The daytime office (Starlink + two laptops off the car) | ~1.5%/day | 5 days ≈ 8% |
| 🧊 The cooler (runs on ice, not electrons — the whole reason there's no powered fridge) | 0% | 0% (ice resupplied Sun/Wed/Fri in passing) |
| 🛡️ Sentry (armed only when away from the car: Walmart/trailheads/town) | ~1%/day | ≈ 5% (left on 24/7 it's 8–12%/day — half the pack in a week) |
| Local driving (mountain miles: hops/falls/town/trailheads) | — | ~100 mi ≈ 25% |
| The simulated ledger | Sunday arrival ~80% → Wed evening ~45% ⚡② → 90% → Fri noon ~60% (either fork works) → Sat AM ~50% ⚡③ → 85% → home ~20%. Never breaks the "≥40% at bedtime" red line, with ~50% still in hand Wednesday night ✅ | |

Verified 2026-08-01; prices defer to ReserveCalifornia / rec.gov / posted rates:
[1] Eagle Point (Emerald Bay SP): Ray personally saw "Starting at $25.00, next available 8/3" on RC, 8/1 (screenshot). Facilities: hot showers $1/3-min token, flush toilets, potable water, bear lockers; ~half of 97 sites take vehicles (rest tent-only) — park materials + campground guides. Season through ~Labor Day.
[2] Transit-night candidates: Bliss/Sugar Pine (RC, coin showers), Fallen Leaf (rec.gov, showers), Campground by the Lake (City of SLT, showers, town signal) — each system's checkout is its truth.
[3] Weather: NWS api.weather.gov (Emerald Bay grid), re-pulled the morning of 8/2: sunny all week, days 26–27°C/78–81°F, nights 15–17°C, wind 0–10 mph (1–2°C warmer than the 8/1 pull). Sun: sunrise-sunset.org (6:01→6:06 / 20:12→20:05).
[4] Smoke discipline: AirNow.gov + fire.ca.gov every morning — August's only wildcard (the beach line on /planb stays loaded as retreat).
[5] Desolation day permits = free self-issue at the Eagle Falls trailhead; Vikingsholm trail 1 mi / ~500 ft, house tours ticketed — LTBMU/park public info.
[6] Charging: SLT Supercharger 2977 US-50; Carson City Supercharger 911 Jacks Valley Rd (beside the Walmart at 3770 US-395 S; tesla.com/community sources, checked 8/2); Stateline as backup — the car's nav is always the live truth; this page only records existence.
[7] 🐻 Bear rules = standard Tahoe-basin requirements (lockers mandatory; no food in vehicles).
[8] 🛶 Boat rules: non-motorized craft skip the paid inspection but must Clean, Drain, Dry; free TahoeKeepers.org self-certification (TRPA/Tahoe RCD, checked 8/2; 2026 tightened over golden mussels). CA law: one USCG-approved wearable PFD per person aboard. Keep the receipt before the maiden float (= proof of never-wet).
[9] 🎣 License: CA 1-day ≈ $21.09 (CDFW 2026 fee schedule, checked 8/2, checkout page is the truth); Tahoe crayfish = invasive, take with license, sale prohibited (CDFW regs).
[10] 📏 Model Y trunk well: no official figure; owner tape-measurements cluster ~90×50×36–38 cm and vary — your own tape is the truth (Igloo 28-qt cooler = 45.7×30.5×38.8 cm, Walmart spec page 8/2).
🧭 Carried over: north-coast Week 1 page (failover ladder / link log) · the Plan B chooser (smoke-retreat line) · Week 2 Golden Tide Week (from 8/9 — one night at home bridges it).
