Whats there to do in the East Tahoe vicintiy that is interesting for a day or two? Me and a buddy are going to run the Con in Aug. and then are looking to see some sights in the area such as ghosttowns, mines, and historic type stuff. We were thinking to head up to Virginia City and start from there, any suggestions?

Thanks.

i would run the forest road on the eastern summit for the views of the lake. Or go run the local reno trails

If you go to Virginia City via Hiway 50 you will drive right by the World famous Moonlight Bunny Ranch (I am not afiliated, just a local)

Back on topic; There are a shit load of trails around here

Depends on what else you like doing it is the year round playground. 4x4ing, boats, fishing charters, VC graveyards, casinos, Bunny ranches,strip clubs, hiking, climbing you name it it is here.
