                Lake Tahoe is one of the most breathtaking attractions located in California. It's home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's reputation.

        <p>
          Lake Tahoe is full of wonderful places to stay. You have the ability to sleep in the outdoors in a tent, or relax like a king at a five star resort. Here are our top three resorts:
        </p>

          <li><a href="#hotels">Lake Tahoe Resort Hotel</a></li>

          One of most important things when it comes to traveling through the great outdoors is packing accordingly. Here are a few tips:

        <ol>
          <li>Bring layers of clothing</li>
          <li>Pack sunscreen</li>

I removed "all and" from the stylesheet and it does not fix my problem. I'm currently using Google Chrome if that is of any significance.

Hey Benjamin,

You're missing a closing brace on your main header class.

Good luck with the course!
