If you have some spare time at Lake Tahoe, make sure to take the tour of the very unique Thunderbird Lodge on the east shore, where George Whittell once owned 40,000 acres (which explains why most of the east shore was never developed). 
 
His lovingly restored 55-foot wooden speedboat has a history all its own (it was purchased from Whittell in 1962 by casino magnate William F. Harrah, and was used for high-roller fun on the lake by the likes of Tony Bennett, Sammy Davis, Jr., Frank Sinatra and Bill Cosby).

It's now in the caring hands of the Thunderbird Lodge Preservation Society, and they keep it in tip-top shape.
