Wylder Hope Valley hosts presentation on Snowshoe Thompson

The Eastern Sierra History Series continues o Sunday, January 29 when the Wylder Hotel Hope Valley hosts "Snowshoe Thompson-Mailman of the Sierra" at 1 p.m.

The Chautauqua-style presentation will be on Thompson who carried the mail across the Sierra Nevada mountains during winter snows for 20 years. He would travel over the 180-mile round trip in just five days on his hand-crafted snow skates (skis) with nothing more than a jacket, dried meat, matches, and his 80 lbs. of mail.

The program is free and open to the public and will be at the Café at Wylder Resort. Space is limited so come early to get your seat. Call David at 760 920-8061 for more information.
