As of this writing, it appears the Tahoe Conservancy is about to acquire Motel Six, a happy ending for a motel that used to charge six dollars. I happened to have enjoyed a summer there myself some sixty-three summers ago. Yes, in that heavenly summer of ’61, Motel Six was the Sands, and they hired a 17-year-old lifeguard to work their pool for the summer, yours truly. I didn’t have to save any lives that summer, so life was good, though I did have one code brown to deal with. That code brown was the only blemish in an otherwise perfect summer of ’61.
