Lake Group Report

By Nina Marino, Lake Group Chair

The Lake Group is focusing on supporting the addition of wilderness areas to our county. We have four candidates for wilderness: Cache Creek, Snow Mountain (we hope to add acreage to this area), Sanhedrin Mountain and Yuki, all unique and beautiful wild places. A letter writing campaign is being conducted to enlist the support of our county supervisors. We are also asking for their support in protecting Cache Creek as a wild and scenic river with outstanding recreational, wildlife and archeological values. Over the past few months, we've had well-attended outings in both the Snow Mountain and Cache Creek areas and we're looking forward to upcoming outings to Table Rock (overlooking Napa Valley), Mt. Konocti and a ski trip to the Peter Grubb hut in January.

Our next meeting, November 28th at the Kelseyville High School Library at 7 pm, will feature a multi-media slide show on the spectacular wildlife of Death Valley during a season of unusually heavy rainfall &endash; 3 inches.
