Thursday, Sept. 6 — Day 1 is the long-drive day as we caravan up the San Joaquin Valley along Highway 99 for 325 miles to the historic Gold Rush town of Murphys. Check-in to Murphys Inn and jump in the pool, or take a stroll down Main Street, or maybe visit one of the wine tasting rooms nearby.Friday, Sept. 7 — We have all day in Murphys. Plenty of fun things to do and see in the area — ride the zip line at Moaning Cavern Adventure Park, visit historic Columbia State Park, go wine tasting, or join fellow members for a picnic among Giant Sequoias at Calaveras Big Trees State Park (Note: There is a $10 per vehicle entrance fee at Big Trees State Park).
Saturday, Sept. 8 — Day 3 is a scenic twisty drive over the Sierras on either Ebbetts or Sonora Pass to our final night’s destination in Mammoth Lakes. Check in to the Alpenhof Lodge and relax in the Wolfman’s Lair (this year the Lair is on the new patio area near the pool). Dinner plans still to be determined. Later that night we wrap things up at The Side Door.

ParticipantThe Wolfman will sadly miss this outstanding weekend for the first time.
But will go to the Vintage car races at Watkins Glen, NY where MINIs are the featured marque. Hope to see some faces I know out there. I know that Norm & Jessie Nelson are going. I think Nancy Homer is going as well.
Have a great time in the Sierras that weekend. It’ll be the Wolf’s Lair without the Wolfman…..
