A 30-acre equestrian property that was once part of ranch land owned by Ronald and Nancy Reagan when he was California governor is on the market in Murrieta's Tenaja Valley at $3.9 million. The spread includes a 5-acre seasonally fed lake, a lakeside house, a regulation-size polo field with two grandstands, an 8-acre pasture, nine corrals, three wells and a 2,750-square-foot barn with skylights. The 1,500-square-foot house, built with stones from the site in 1996, features two bedrooms and two bathrooms.

Its deep-throated engines temporarily squelched, the Thunderbird idles in the crystal-clear waters of Lake Tahoe, a few hundred yards offshore from Crystal Bay, Nev. A rubber dinghy sidles up to the elegant 55-foot speedboat. Terry Clapham, one of the inventors of laser vision surgery and an avid boater, climbs aboard the much bigger yacht. As he greets fellow passengers on the aft deck and settles into a chair, Clapham is served champagne in a flute adorned with the Native American thunderbird symbol, the speedboat's logo and that of the secluded lakeside lodge of the same name.

Wolfeboro, N.H. - With his vice presidential pick looming and a foreign trip a little more than a week away, Mitt Romney cut away from the campaign trail Saturday for family time at his lakeside retreat. After a difficult week, the unofficial Republican nominee spent the morning working outside on his iPad in a dress shirt and jeans. He escaped in the afternoon for a boat ride with his family on Lake Winnipesaukee. Romney was not expected to make any public appearances after a week in which he was hammered by Democrats amid new questions about the timing of his departure from Bain Capital, the venture capital firm he cofounded.

The president of the local chapter of the Hells Angels motorcycle gang pleaded guilty Wednesday to possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute. Guy Castiglione, 39, of Lakeside faces at least five years and as many as 40 in federal prison, his attorney, James Warner, said.

KABUL, Afghanistan — Gunmen seized control of a lakeside hotel outside the Afghan capital early Friday, taking hostages and setting off an hours-long battle, police said. The Taliban claimed responsibility. By midmorning, about 20 hotel guests had been rescued and at least two of the attackers were dead, police said. One police officer was reported killed as well. Police said some civilians were believed to have been injured or killed, but did not yet have a firm count. The team of attackers, echoing a pattern in past strikes, besieged the Spozhmai hotel on the shores of Lake Karga with heavy weapons, with some of the assailants wearing vests laden with explosives.

Sometimes I tell outsiders that all Minnesotans are issued a lake cabin at birth. Not true, but we do come rather close: I once read that 25% of the population has access to a private cabin, either through direct ownership, generous relatives or good friends. My family has been in that lucky percentage for more than 70 years, thanks to a log cabin my father designed and my grandfather built in 1938 on Round Lake in the Gull Lake chain. (It isn't really round, but Dented Oval Lake would sound silly.)

The ball kept going and going until it hit the middle of the black screen high above the fence in center field at Cal State Fullerton, 410 feet from the plate. It was a prodigious two-run home run by catcher Bernardo Zavala of La Puente Bishop Amat in the fourth inning and helped lift the Lancers to a 2-1 victory over Lakeside El Capitan on Wednesday in a semifinal game of the Hard 9 National Classic. "It was a two-strike at-bat, and I threw my hands out there and got it good," Zavala said.

reporting from coeur d'alene, idaho Say yes to huckleberries, yes to lazy days by the lake, yes to fast bikes on long trails. Say no to fancy French pronunciation. Say no, also, to white supremacy.
