Says
The heat is on. It’s been in the triple digits for
almost a week now and I’ll bet you skiers are asking yourselves,
“When is it going to snow?” Rest assured, it’s coming – but we have
a few fun-filled events to present for your entertainment before the
white fluff is upon us. Stay safe out there, keep your sun block applied and keep cool.
Jim

GOLDPOINT Well, poor Sheriff Stone. He had to quit his job in Las Vegas to patrol
the streets of Goldpoint. Serious lawbreakers are arriving and cruising
the town. Trouble right there in Goldpoint. At any rate I'm sure he will
be able to keep the situation under control. That's why the rates have
ballooned up. At any rate I'm sure most of you can bite the bullet and
cough up the extra dough.
Things are going to be a little different this year. We will
arrive at Lee Vining by 7:00 PM on Thursday the 13th of Oct., and rather
than eat at The Mono Inn, we will eat at the Carson Peak Inn on the June
Lake loop for a change of scene. In the morning we will walk across the street to Nicely's for breakfast.
Then on to Goldpoint. Most of you know the way from Mono to Goldpoint by now so there is no need to follow me.
Besides, I have run out of side trips unless some of you want to see the Alabama Hills just below Mt. Whitney,
about a 2 ½ hour detour. But there is time.
I am going to stop at Schatz's and get a box lunch to eat along the way. I am going to head in to the
north end of Death Valley and from there take the hot, dry, dusty and treacherous Rattlesnake Gulch Ravine Road
up to the west side of Mt. Magruder and then speed on towards Goldpoint, entering it from the North by Northwest
rather than the North. You are welcome to follow me and eat dust if you desire.
As before, everyone pays the same price regardless of accommodations. First come, first served. Last ones
to sign up have to sleep up in the barn with the owls.........AND THE ARE BIG..........AND THEY DO NOT LIKE HUMANS!
So, send me a check for $144.00 per person to:
Don Girard
P.O. Box 338
Rancho Cordova, Ca 95741
Make your own reservations in Lee Vining. Stay at:
Gateway…………760/647-6467

On Saturday, July 16th, the running of
the 2005 Eppie’s Great Race was held along the scenic American River
Parkway in Sacramento and Rancho Cordova. This is the world’s oldest
triathlon. It began at William Pond Park and consisted of a 5.82-mile
run, followed by a 12.5-mile bike ride and a 6.3-mile boat-paddling
event. Prior to his retirement, the race’s founder,
Eppie Johnson, was a long time member
of the Sacramento FaGowee’s. This triathlon has been in existence for 32
years now, and this was the 16th year that the
Sacramento FaGowee’s have been involved in filling some of the more than
700 volunteer positions needed to make this race the success it has been
over the years. |
