                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.

          As spawning season approaches, the fish acquire a humpback and protuberant jaw. After spawning, they die and their carcasses provide a feast for gatherings of <a href="#mink">mink</a>, <a href="#bears">bears</a>, and <a href="#eagles">bald eagles</a>.

Not sure what your issue is based on how you asked the question: you need to provide something for someone to roll with~ I can only assume that your background images failed to work because you (a) used it as BOTH a .class and an #id -AND/OR- (b) because you cannot use an #id within a href="..."

Maybe this thread will help you!
