Last but not least, a road report from Mike Peterson:

"My sister and I were up at MK last weekend and this last week and we did not find the road bad at all.  The road is indeed washed out above the ranger station at cold springs, but it is not bad at all.  We had no trouble.  It was generally the same as last year.  People should not be scared away.

Also, I have two extra copies of the Thomas Porter manuscript “The Silver Rush at Mineral King, California, 1873-1882.”  Do you know of anyone who would like to purchase a copy?  This is the third printing from the MKPS.  I don’t need these extra copies."

Back by popular demand!  Dan Voelz & Sons will play live jazz on the Silver City Store deck on Friday, August 2 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.  Come and hear some great music by Mineral King residents while enjoying dinner at Silver City.
