SUMMARY:Expansion of Early Roads in the US West
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday October 14\, Dr. E. F. Cater\, Director of the Douglas County Historical Museum in Waterville\, will present a talk\, “Expansion of Early Roads in the US West.” The program starts at 7:00 PM\, at the Wenatchee Valley Museum and Cultural Center\, 127 South Mission\, in Wenatchee. Zoom link for those who cannot attend in person: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/8185554795 Meeting ID: 818 5554 7958 \nWestern roads developed by push and shove. Business people and shippers built some of the first usable roads. They needed to get wares to market. Others built ways to get to town to buy those goods. \nBuilding new roads\, and connecting roads\, was difficult and expensive. No entity wanted to do that. Not the Federal government\, nor the states\, not the counties. They got pushed into road-building. What happened? \nAround 1912\, the introduction of the automobile\, especially the Model T\, spurred the United States into building auto-routes adequate for travel. There were no transcontinental highways. Many states didn’t even connect with one another. \n\n\n\nLocally\, the Yellowstone Trail eventually passed through Waterville\, Wenatchee\, Monitor\, Cashmere\, and over Blewett Pass. We will learn about that road. \nClick the link below to see the first 3 minutes of the presentation:\nhttps://youtu.be/Htov6YXW6L8?si=ixgoJkN63zfs1mWi \nThe program is free and open to the public. \n\n\n\n \n\n\nSwitchbacks on Blewett Pass\, 1910 \nContact information:\nKen Lacy\nWenatchee Valley Erratics’ Program Chair\n1geospiracle2@gmail.com\n(509) 787-9755

SUMMARY:WRI’s Red Barn Event-screening of Ridge to River
DESCRIPTION:Streaming link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLvrqGFDLMs&list=PLjATQxBXvvgXSiC_qr24e5jmPS-LyJ5T9&index=33 \nNo registration required\, but RSVP to receive email reminders and updates about this event! \nDoors open at 6:30pm for a community social with beer and wine available for purchase. The presentation will start at 7:00pm. \nThis event features new film “Ridge to River” created by Cashmere resident and Emmy-award winning videographer Steven Gnam. After the film\, Friends of Mission Ridge (FOMR)\, a Wenatchee-based\, grassroots non-profit\, will host a Q&A session with the audience. \nA developer proposes a 7\,812-bed luxury resort near the top of Mission Ridge\, adjacent to the Mission Ridge Ski Area. Orchardists\, skiers\, hunters\, birders\, and Tribes are concerned about the impacts that this development would have on the ecology and culture of the region. \nMission Ridge was an oasis during the last ice age\, while the surrounding terrain was buried under thousands of feet of glacial ice or scoured by cataclysmic floods. The mountain became a refuge for plants\, animals\, and early humans\, evidenced by the fact that it has one of the highest occurrences of endemic plants in the region\, and continuous human habitation going back before the building of the pyramids in Egypt. The film\, Ridge to River\, follows locals as they trace lines across the mountain\, following the migrations of the Colockum elk\, chasing ski turns\, and growing food at its base. Ridge to River is a love letter to this landform that stretches from Mission Peak to the Columbia River. \nAbout the presenters:\nSteven Gnam is a FOMR board member\, National Geographic photographer\, Emmy-award-winning videographer\, and author of the book\, Crown of the Continent\, The Wildest Rockies. Steven lives with his wife and daughter in Cashmere\, WA\, with their four ducks. \nMike Rolfs is Friends of Mission Ridge’s executive director. Mike has skied on Mission Ridge for 50 years. Mike builds custom skis at COOP Ski Works. You can find Mike on Mission Ridge nearly every day of the year\, on skis or on foot. \nThe opinions expressed in this presentation are solely those of the presenters and not necessarily those of Wenatchee River Institute. \nEvent Link \n\n\n\nCONTACT INFO\nVirginia Shoup\nvshoup@wenatcheeriverinstitute.org\n509-548-0181\, ext 5
