Four Wolf Creek Lodge members hiked from the Boreal/Castle Peak I80 off ramp at Donner Summit to the top of Castle Peak. Here is a picture of Claire on an outcrop on the way down. We recommend the route: start on dirt road, quickly turn right to the PCT to Castle Pass, scale the peak, back to Castle Pass, then continue on along the trail that skirts Andesite Peak back to the dirt road and home.

I just read in our paper “The Union” that there are plenty of fish in our local creeks. There are photos of fishermen casting about in Wolf Creek for trout. I didn’t realize this. It means among other things that the creek is clean from pollution. Trout will not thrive in polluted water. I don’t know how many of us are fishermen, but we will know that our creek adds to the healthy environment we are so proud of. Magdalene Jaeckel

See a picture of part of your Landscape Point Person’s Truckee Garden. Remember there was snow here until May 30th and there are now deer who are inclined to eat everything except the rocks. I wonder what she will be able to do, with your help, at Wolf Creek Lodge when we move in.
