Virginia City is an experience going back 150 years. Let your adventure begin with a step back in time. The 19th century mining boom turned Virginia City into the most important settlement between Denver and San Francisco; and grubby prospectors into instant millionaires. They built mansions, imported furniture and fashions from Europe and the Orient, and helped finance the Civil War… and then went on to build empires around the world. The finest example being San Francisco. Click here for information about Virginia City.

1st Driving Event of the season is tomorrow – Virgnia City

John English — Fri, 15 Apr 2011 17:11:08 +0000

It’s time to get the wax on your car and your backside in the driver’s seat! Come join us for a nice ride up Mt Rose Hwy and the Northeast corner of Lake Tahoe.

Preregistration is nice but late comers are always welcome. There are 2 main meeting places / times. The first is 10AM at the Raley’s / Starbucks at Galena Junction. The next is 11:15 at the Starbucks in Incline.

In between those 2 spots we will be stopping about 10:30 at the picturesque turn out just past the meadows on top of Mt Rose. That’s where our best photo op will be. It’s the same spot where the homepage photo was taken last year.(red cars to the back this time!)

After coming back down from the lake we will make a quick stop in Carson to add a few people to the parade.

The last leg is Hwy 50 to 341 and up the truck route into Virginia City. Lunch is at the Palace restaurant around 12:30

Cost is lunch plus $5 per person to cover the club insurance. We hope to see you there!

John
