We are fortunate enough to have access for two weeks every June to a small, rustic cabin on the West Shore of Lake Tahoe that was hand-built by my wife's grandfather in 1956.  The cabin is now owned by my in-laws and my wife's aunt and uncle, and it's utilized at different times of the summer by various aunts, uncles and cousins (not at the same time - it's too small for that anyway!)

We drove here from Palo Alto about a week ago, and the differences were immediately noticeable.  For example:
1) Teens are congregating, big time. I've seen two large groups of 10+ unrelated boys, including an entire lacrosse team, walking shoulder-to-shoulder on the path around the lake, sans masks. I had seen some teens in groups in Palo Alto, but just two or three kids, generally trying to keep some distance.
2) Many restaurants are open. They only seem to be serving people outdoors, but they're full.
3) At Sunnyside market, there is sanitizer at the door, but masks are _not_ required. (according to the sign at the entrance, encouraged but not required)  
4) I have been coming here almost every June for 15 years, and I have NEVER seen the parking at Emerald Bay as overfull as this past Saturday.  Cars were parking up to a mile away, along the side of the road. I have a feeling they were mostly day-trippers from Reno and Sacramento, because in general the area doesn't seem terribly crowded. 
5) I took an afternoon off last Weds, and we went to the beach at Meeks Bay, not knowing whether it would be open. Alas, the gate was closed, but a ranger was nearby. He came up to our car, smiling and motioning to a spot on the side of the road, saying, "yep, it's closed, but park over there, and go have fun!" We shared the beautiful, white-sand beach with just three other families.  
6) Large extended families are sheltering together.  I went to the bike shop at Homewood on Sunday, and a large family of 12+ people with many small kids was looking at bike rentals, outdoors but without any distancing or masks. 

Behaviors and norms may be evolving as we speak back in SCC, but this experience has really impressed on me the differences in how we are experiencing shelter-in-place and re-opening in different places around the country.  Different stages of re-opening really look and feel different - even just a couple hundred miles away.  In places like Tahoe, the social pressure to keep your distance and wear a mask is much less evident.
