Hi, I am writing this letter to the person in charge of keeping Reagan Beach bathrooms clean for the Fourth of July.

I lived in Tahoe for 30 years and decided to bring some friends up for the Fourth of July festivities.

We spent the day at Reagan beach. I was so embarrassed by the way the bathrooms were. They were filthy – no paper towels for washing your hands. I know Lake Tahoe knew there would be thousands of people at the beaches. You would think Tahoe would have portable bathrooms and someone keeping the bathrooms at the beach clean. I was totally disgusted by the filth of the bathrooms. Here’s how to ruin a beautiful weekend – just have your wife or friends use the facilities at Reagan Beach. I think Tahoe needs to address this for future holidays.
