September 2007 Newsletter
STRAIGHT SCOOP Volume XIII Number 9 September 2007 PACIFIC COAST AIR MUSEUM To promote the acquisition, restoration, safe operation, and display of historical aircraft and provide an educational venue for the community 20 August 2007 Dear Dave, Each Year I think that year’s Air Show couldn’t be beat. This year you proved me wrong again! The Pacific Coast Air Museum Air Show excelled in every aspect; the performances, the timing, static displays, announcements, traffic control and parking, the Pilot’s Tent and so many others. I can only imagine how hard you and your folks work in planning for and implementing this very significant contribution to avia- tion and Sonoma County. I am very impressed with the spirit of every one of the PCAM members and the host of volunteers. A big thanks to you and those who helped plan and carry out this memorable event. Sincerely, Jim Eade, General, United States Air Force (Retired) Air Show Survivor’s BBQ We had one terrific Air Show. By every measure, it was the best ever. Now, for those members who helped put on our Air Show, the Survivor’s BBQ is a chance to relax, pat ourselves on the back, tell “war stories”, and have a good time without all the stress of Air Show prep, or Air Show day, or Air Show take down, or Air Show put away. DATE: Saturday, September 22nd PLACE: East Patio, Pacific Coast Air Museum TIME: 3:00 PM until ??? (we have lights now!!). We will supply the meat, bread, salad, wine, beer, and soft drinks and water. -

Cassandra Bowden is no stranger to hungover mornings. She's a binge drinker, her job with the airline making it easy to find adventure, and the occasional blackouts seem to be inevitable. She lives with them, and the accompanying self-loathing. When she awakes in a Dubai hotel room, she tries to piece the previous night back together, counting the minutes until she has to catch her crew shuttle to the airport."-- F BOWEN Bowen, Rhys, The Tuscan child /: Lake Union Publishing, 2018 “In 1944, British bomber pilot Hugo Langley parachuted from his stricken plane into the verdant fields of German-occupied Tuscany.

This Week at the Pioneer Museum Alferd Packer, Cannibal Jewelry Maker?
This week at the Pioneer Museum Alferd Packer, Cannibal Jewelry Maker? Submitted by Larry McDonald Alferd Packer, the Colorado Cannibal, left behind quite a legacy, including a few mementos you can find right here in our own Pioneer Museum. Alferd spent some time in our local jail during his second trial in 1886, for presumably devouring his five companions during their ill-fated journey near Lake City 12 years prior. Although his story is well told through many books, magazine articles, movies, documentaries, and even the Lovely Ballad of Alferd Packer by Phil Ochs, his skill as a jewelry maker are not as well known. On the second floor of the museum’s main building is an exhibit of early Gunnison law enforcement officials and related artifacts. Included in the display are items Mr. Packer made during his considerable time behind bars. There is the beautiful cane he made from animal horns, a watch fob he made from human hair, along with a stick pin and watch chain. Also displayed are the leg shackles he wore while in court, and a gruesome sketch and article from an edition of the Harpers Weekly magazine. It was Harpers Weekly illustrator, John A. Randolph, who had stumbled upon the victims’ remains above Lake City in August 1874, and brought their plight to the attention of the nation in the October 17 edition a few months later. The main entrance building at the museum houses an incredible collection of artifacts that can seriously hinder a visitors’ attempt to see the exhibits in the other 30+ buildings on site. -
Bob Carlton to Receive 2015 Bill Barber Award for Showmanship
Bob Carlton to Receive 2015 Bill Barber Award for Showmanship EAST TROY, WISCONSIN -- An ICAS member and recipient of the 2014 Civilian Performer Pinnacle Award will receive one of the air show industry’s highest honors July 21, during EAA AirVenture at EAA’s Theater in the Woods. Bob Carlton, owner of Vertigo Airshows, will receive the 2015 Bill Barber Award for Showmanship according to a news release issued by World Airshow News June 8. Carlton joins a long list of honorees that reads like an air show hall of fame. Carlton began his fascination with aviation as a young boy flying control line models. He learned to fly in 1979 at age 19 and soon mastered hang gliders, sailplanes, powered airplanes, and helicopters. He began flying sailplane airshows in 1993. After he began flying airshows, Carlton often found it difficult to arrange for a tow plane at each show site. His engineering background led to the development of the world's first twinjet sailplane, which allowed him to climb to altitude under his own power. His innovative approach to glider aerobatics continued with the addition of the Super Salto jet sailplane in 2009. With a more powerful jet engine, the Super Salto not only allowed Carlton to climb to altitude without a tow plane, but he could also perform a full low-level aerobatic routine under power. Carlton’s latest addition to his airshow stable is the SubSonex JSX-2 microjet kit aircraft. He serves as the chief test pilot for the little jet and has debuted a full aerobatic airshow routine in the SubSonex for the 2015 airshow season. -
Alpine Loop Explorer
A guide to the natural and historical resources on the Alpine Loop Backcountry Byway ALPINE EXPLORER scenic drives • hiking • history fall colors • wildflowers • wildlife ALPINE LOOP WELCOME TO THE ALPINE LOOP BACKCOUNTRY BYWAY Looking up the Cottonwood Creek valley ~ Photo courtesy of Bureau of Land Management Depending on winter snows, the Alpine Loop Backcountry Byway opens by late May or early June and closes around late October. Most of the Loop winds through public land administered by the Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service, although many mines and buildings are on private property. Today’s explorers come, summer or winter, in 4-wheel-drive vehicles, ATVs, snowmobiles, mountain bikes, and even 2-wheel-drive cars for a short distance. They explore on foot, horseback, or snowshoes, or ski on the numerous trails. Instead of shovels and gold pans, they carry sketchbooks, cameras, fishing rods, and field guides to help them enjoy the grandeur, scenery, solitude, and wildlife of the remote San Juan backcountry. This gem, the Alpine Loop Backcountry Byway, is your gateway off the beaten track. Uncompahgre Peak (14,309 feet). ~ Photo courtesy of Bureau of Land Management Rising high above the Alpine Loop, the mountains insist that you acknowledge their presence. All around, a kaleidoscope of summer wildflowers gathers along the trails, and the sounds of cascading streams are everywhere. The pure, clear air startles you with its crisp bite, even before your gasp reminds you of the altitude. In front of you the road beckons, leading you higher and higher into an alpine tapestry of greens, browns, whites, and blues. -

Museum of the West History Docent Guide 2017 Spanish Exhibit Gallery
Museum of the West History Docent Guide 2017 Spanish Exhibit Gallery Exploring the Northern Frontier The Rivera Expedition The “Kingdom and Province of New Mexico” and its northern frontiers was a huge geographical area. This kingdom included all or part of New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, and Texas. In 1765 New Mexican Governor Tomas Velez Cachupin asked explorer Don Juan Maria Antonio de Rivera to lead an expedition to explore the northern frontier. Governor Cachupin was worried about encroachment by other European powers and wanted to find the legendary Rio del Tizon (Colorado River) and a place to ford it. The Governor was also interested in the legend that was on the other side of the Rio del Tizon River, was Lake Copala, home of an unknown wealthy civilization. Rivera had traveled north before in 1761 and had his own reasons for going that included searching for gold and silver deposits and evidence of native mining activity. Rivera and his men traveled as far north as the present-day City of Durango, Colorado and then returned home to Santa Fe with no news of European intrigue or finding a mysterious civilization. Governor Cachupin, although discouraged, sent Rivera north one more time to reach the Rio del Tizon and report on evidence of this much-rumored civilization. Rivera left Santa Fe in October of 1765 and headed north as far as present-day Delta, Colorado before returning home to Santa Fe. Although unsuccessful in their quest, the expedition had mapped and kept journals of the new lands and people they met. -
