Also, don't forget to attend the first Canyon Keepers meeting of 2013, scheduled for Tuesday, February 5. It's titled "Regional History Revealed; Winter Outings in Our Foothills," courtesy our speaker Evan Jones. The speaker will help you visit nearby trails that are (usually) below the snow! Newly-accessed finds will be discussed, including the historical Tillotson Trail, miners' graves, a 19th century cable bridge, the Bullion Mine, Nisenan petroglyphs and the Hidden Treasure Mine. Upcoming guided outings to these and other sites will be announced.
The meeting will take place at the Canyon View Community Center, 471 Maidu Drive in Auburn. Snacks are served at 5:45p.m.; meeting begins at 6:15p.m. and the speaker at 6:30p.m.. Evan Jones, speaker and former physics instructor, founded the Historical Trails Council, which is dedicated to preserving and sharing endangered historical trails in the northern Sierra. As a former physics instructor, he edits science texts and writes for the educational physics literature.
Also, February is a great month to join Canyon Keepers! Dues are only $5 a year if you become a member and participate as an active volunteer (It would help if you brought a $5 bill -- requiring no change). It's a good way to find greater enjoyment in the Canyon and to meet new people with similar interests. A few CK activities are open to members only.
