TRAILING THE DONNERS

By Sharon Walbridge, Editor

Fortunate 1 am to live across from the Virginia Range. Every single day I mar­ vel at the beauty of those mountains and the wonderful way the Range changes color and shape in response to the play of light and shadow upon it. It is a view I never tire of.

TRAILING THE DONNERS, continued from the front page

I was grateful I did not have to go on to Sutter's Fort. Truth is, I've never wanted to walk across the Sierra, let alone the continent. I don't think I have what it takes to leave Independence, Missouri and walk into the unknown.

At "trail's end" for our days journey we stood overlooking Dog Valley. In my minds eye I trudged the remain­ ing distance to the lake that would be called Donner. A shiver crawled down my neck. I pulled the collar up on my jacket and turned to head for the bus and a cup of coffee.

HRPS will repeat this interesting trek through time, probably next spring. Don't miss it. Scz:t HRPS members take a break from hiking while on the ''Trailing the Donners" tour.
