There will be no Samuel Clem\ens Cove on Lake Tahoe.

Clemens, aka Mark Twain, camped on the shores of the lake and wrote about it in his book "Roughing It."

But the U.S. Board on Geographic Names turned down a proposal to name a cove after him, noting that Clemens also accidently started a forest fire there 150 years ago.

Some things you just don't forget.
