A few photos below. This is just a quick note to let you know that lost & found items will be in the classroom tomorrow. We will rehearse the play, starting with scene 6 (practice your lines).
Don't forget: Wednesday night, 6:00-8:30 is our potluck, performance and 5th grade tributes!
Photo below: Inside the snow sheds at Donner Pass. The snow sheds protected the transcontinental railroad from as it crossed the Sierras. This section along the slopes above Donner Lake has been decommissioned, and is open to the public. The current rails, active at all times of the day, have been rerouted in a 5 mile stretch directly through the mountain.
Leaving the snow sheds and tunneled mountain side. The snow sheds were originally built from wood, but were replaced with concrete at some point. The intricately laid stone walls built by Chinese workers are still standing.
Overlooking Donner Lake after our hike on Friday.
