Wylder Hotel Hope Valley speaker series returns with lunch, Tales Along El Camino Sierra

Wylder Hotel Hope Valley has announced the return of its popular speaker series on Eastern Sierra History. On Sunday, November 6, there will be an entertaining presentation, Tales Along El Camino Sierra. Using extensive research and 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 1 p.m., is free, open to the public…and will be in the heated tent at Wylder Resort. Wylder’s Sorenson Café will be offering a special “History Program Lunch” during the program.

Wylder’s Resort is located 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.
