Overland Emigrant Trail Seminar
We held a very successful seminar on Saturday at the Sugar Bowl Academy on the Overland Emigrant Trail. Full notes will be posted in the next few days.
We have an updated presentation from Vance Kimbral along with the full OET map showing the best estimate of the original trail. Note that the trail on this map is NOT the planned route for the new trail, but instead is a best guess of the original trail. The proposed OET is a "memorial" trail that will not follow the exact route of the original historic trail. Note that both of these documents are very large (~8MB). Permanent links to both documents are available with the other document links on the left navbar.
Thanks to the Placer County Planners for making these documents available to the public. We hope to get additional materials from the other presenters as well.
Many thanks to all of our panelists for coming out on the weekend to share their experience on these issues with the Summit community.
