Tahoe Nuggets consist of cool pictures and brief descriptions from Lake Tahoe and the Sierra Nevada by writer-photographer Mark McLaughlin. Topics include weather and ski conditions, nature and the environment, history and scenery.

"Just a short note to tell you how much I enjoy reading your Nuggets and looking at your photos. Nowadays, when everyone seems money hungry, it is very special to receive such a delightful gift for free."
— R. Johnson

The package is short and sweet and delivered via email about once or twice a month. Tahoe Nuggets are for anyone who loves natural beauty, Lake Tahoe, and the western landscape. Your email address will never be shared and you can always cancel your free subscription by simply sending a mellow email asking to be dropped from the list.
