Description:
A trip of a lifetime is on the agenda for Obsidians and friends. Spectacular scenery, back roads, rugged mountains, exciting adventures for all who participate. Traveling through the Cascades and northeastern California to Reno the first day with a night’s stay in the Grand Sierra Resort overlooking the lights of Reno in the newly remodeled 20 story resort. Traveling Hwy 395 to 95 will bring us to Tonopah, Nevada for our second night’s stay and near Scotty’s Junction to Route 267, into the northern part of Death Valley. We will tour the famous castle and grounds and have our lunch in the area. We spend our third night at the ranch in Furnace Creek. We will then be joined by a tour guide, volunteer ranger- friend of our driver as we tour into the middle and southern parts of Death Valley- a very special time for experiencing the valley and the wonders of the area. Lunch will be at Stove Pipe Wells, another historic place in the valley and then on to Ridgecrest, around the east side of China Lake and the Naval Weapons Center, National Training Center, and a tour of the Maturango Museum. The next day, leaving the Ridgecrest area will find us heading to the mountains along route 395 to Bishop, CA. This route takes us on the east side of the Sierra Nevadas, viewing Mt. Whitney and stopping by the visitor’s center of the Eastern Sierras. Through the mountains and past the lakes to Bishop, where we will spend the night. We follow 395 around parts of Lake Tahoe into Auburn, Yuba City, and Williams for our sixth night. All along the scenic routes of central CA, our bus driver, Augie, will have some treats for us. Our stay will be in Williams. The seventh day will find us on I5 headed for home- but wait, one last treat! For lunch we will be stopping at “Heaven on Earth” just north of Grants Pass. (Cost included in your trip fees.) We’ll be home on Saturday, the 12th of April at about 6:00 to 6:30 PM. Join your Obsidian friends for great memories and the trip of a lifetime!
