Tales Along El Camino Sierra next topic for Wylder Hope Valley history series

On Saturday, May 21, Wylder Hotel Hope Valley continues its Eastern Sierra history series with an entertaining presentation, Tales Along El Camino Sierra. Using rare and seldom seen photographs, local historian and author David Woodruff recounts the impressive and fascinating efforts promoted by boosters in Eastern California and Western Nevada, to get a modern roadway (Highway 395) built in their region. From record-setting flights over Mt. Whitney to partnering with two World Fairs, the ballyhoo created by the Inyo Good Road Club was amusing, improbable, and effective.

The 50-minute presentation begins at 11:00 a.m. (please note the new time), is free and open to the public. Wylder (formerly Sorensons) is on Hwy 88, just one mile east of the junction of Hwy 88 & 89 in Hope Valley. Please call (760) 920-8061 for more information.
