February TD News -- 2016 Summary

 It’s time once again to write my summary of the fun we had in 2016. Here is a summary
 of the trails and events we were involved in this past year:

  • Crystal Mines trail run- Great fun for the children and grandchildren looking for
    crystals in this old mining area

  • Verdi Peak road in the snow – Challenging snow run followed by dinner at Pizza
    on the Hill
  • Miller Lake on the Rubicon – Clean-up of the Campground we sponsor on the
    Rubicon Trail
  • Sardine Mountain Loop trail run with a BBQ, pot luck and Bocce Ball after
  • Metal Cloak Skills Day at Prairie City – great 4x4 training
  • Concert on the Green – Club Party in our special section
  • Fourth of July Parade in downtown Truckee
  • Bear Valley trail run to prepare for Trails & Ales event
  • Sierra 4x4 Trails & Ales event to benefit the Boys and Girls Club
  • Pole Creek/Cabin Creek maintenance trail run on the trail we sponsor for the US
    Forest Service
  • Camp Nejedly trail run to transport handicapped children to and from a
    wilderness camp.
  • Observation point on the Rubicon Trail to explore this world famous 4x4 trail
  • Verdi Peak Fire Outlook – fun trails with great views of the mountains and Reno
  • Sardine Peak Fire Outlook – for a BBQ potluck dinner and stargazing from the
    top of the mountain
  • Gold Lake/Snake Lake Trail – Beautiful trail that winds around Gold Lake and
    then on to a very challenging downhill to Snake Lake
  • Hunter Lake Trail – Pretty run up to the top of the mountain overlooking Reno
    and then down through Big Meadows
  • Sunrise Pass/Como Ghost Town Trail – Western Nevada trail that leaves from
    Minden and goes east meeting up with Como trail- ending with a dinner in
    Virginia City
  • Annual Holiday Party at Northwood’s Clubhouse

According to my very precise calculations, each member (that did all the activities)
drove 3,430 miles, climbed 7 peaks, and bounced over 237,468,000 rocks!!!! But more
importantly, we had way more laughs and smiles than the rocks we went over!!!
