Celebrate Restoration Days: September 3–6
Mark your calendar and make your plans, because this year’s Restoration Days will be lots of fun. Come for the garden reception at the Committee Information Center & Bookstore on the evening of Friday, September 3 and stay all weekend. On Saturday and Sunday there will be myriad chances to learn more about and help with restoration work in the Mono Basin. There will also be opportunities for hands-on learning about everything from ornithology to geology as well as special canoe tours on Mono. Keeping with tradition will be the Committee’s Annual Meeting at County Park preceded by something new at the Rehydration Ceremony.
Participating in Restoration Days is a wonderful way to keep in touch with old friends while meeting fellow lake enthusiasts and learning more about the Mono Basin.
Join the High Sierra Fall Century: September 18
Have you started training yet? If not, you’ve still got plenty of time to get ready for the High Sierra Fall Century on Saturday, September 18. The 100-mile course takes you into the quiet of the Mono Basin and includes awesome views of Mono Lake, the Sierra Nevada, and the White Mountains. You also have the option of a 35 or 60 mile ride.
