Kevin Marshall has a Coniston green D90 in Truckee.
A couple years ago Mike Okoniewski from Truckee had a CT110, but I think he sold it. Wouldnt surprise me if he had another Derfender.
Ben Mitchell has a White D90. He is from the bay area, but has a place outside of Southlake.
As for me, mine isn't really a defender, and it hasn't left my garage in over a year :(

I just saw a fellow Defender 90 afficianado (that's wine and cheese speak for D-90 freak) in south town Lake Tahoe on Wednesay as I was heading back to Napa. We passed on Highway 50 by the "Port of Subs" near the road to the Keys. He was heading towards stateline in a white D-90. I think I saw his rig on-line before. Very nice. We saw each other a mile a way and waved accordingly with mutual admiration as we all do. I love that. Defenders seem to fit in so well in Tahoe and yet they stand out so much as to turn heads at every corner. Then again, it could be the glass packs the previous owner installed. "Sorry for the mild noise pollution, but you looked and it does sound nice." We were up skiing in Heavenly and it it was oh so...heavenly! Yeah, I know you saw that coming a mile a way too.

I wish my 90 lived in Tahoe... Hell I wish my snowboard and I lived in Tahoe!

I know of a green SW in Incline Village. My black ST is in Incline a few times a year when I'm at my family's place. Supposedly there is also a yellow ST owned by one of the doctors at the local emergency care place, but I haven't seen it myself.

I happened to have followed that particular yellow D-90 ST by chance as we drove down from Boulder Lodge after skiing. It was a very nice and very stock 1997 and the guy seemed to fit the profile of a doctor. We waved and continued on. Suprisingly, I haven't noticed any other D-90's in Tahoe and yet you would think they would be everywhere.

Parts of the north shore, like Incline, are in Nevada. Not cheap though.....
