Wylder Hotel Hope Valley continues its Eastern Sierra history series, with an entertaining presentation, Tales Along El Camino Sierra on Sunday, March 13 at 2:00 p.m.
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 a World’s Fair, the ballyhoo created by the Inyo Good Road Club was amusing, improbable, and effective.
The 50-minute presentation will be held inside the heated tent at Wylder Resort on Hwy 88, just one mile east of the junction of Hwy 88 & 89 in Hope Valley. The program is free and open to the public.
Please call (760) 920-8061 for more information.
