Sometimes life gets difficult. Weights and burdens just seem to fall out of the sky and land on us like snow. Weighing us down and making us question what we are doing and why we are doing
it. Thank God for the unconditional love of our pets…

Hello All,
We are off to a great start this year and a special thanks to all who help with so many things. Our High Ride committee met in February and updated our prices, camp duty lists and applications for both members and non members…

February Newsletter 2025

It is so nice to get the 2025 year rolling and most days the weather has been good for February. It has been nice to get both the rain and the cold sunny days.

July Newsletter 2024

The mountains are a perfect place to get away from the heat. Our trail clearing and camp cleanup at Eagle Meadows had temperatures 25° below Sonora! A huge thank you to everybody who came out and helped. We had Myron, Jan, Lance, Joy, Colleen, Janine, Roy, Ron, David, John, Jackie and me. The trails were in their early summer splendor with wildflowers everywhere.
