Next meeting for 2021

  • 1.  Next meeting for 2021

    Posted 07-23-2021 04:27 PM
    Summer is high upon us and the  smoke hangs heavy over some of our members.  With that in mind, it is time to start planning our fall meeting.  I have been in discussion with Chris Johnson - Section Program Chair, and volunteered to put out a call to see if anyone would host a field trip.  Before the pandemic, there was an offer for the Kennedy Mine.  I believe that a trip to the historic Mother Lode district would be of interest to our members.  Those in the Bay Area, or other outlying areas would have a long day but we could always try to organize something to make it worth the while. 
    Any offers or suggestions?  September would probably be best but we are open for recommendations.

    Bill:

    The Kennedy Mine is still on the table.?? It is quite a distance out at
    Jackson (Amador County), but one could easily spend several hours just
    looking around.?? If attendees wanted to do the tour, that takes up 90
    minutes and still leaves hours of stuff to look at.?? Might arrange for a
    lunch or buffet; options are open.

    Sounds good to me, and my husband is very interested also.

    From the responses so far I think that there is a demand for a field trip to the Kennedy Mine.  I also have driven by it for years and have never even been up to it.
    Can you get in touch with Chris Johnson, our Program Chair and see if this can't be arranged?   I would draw in Mark Trevor who does and lot of work in the area, i.e. Sonora Gold and maybe he can add something to the area.

    Hi everyone!

    I think this is a great idea! I've driven past the Kennedy many times but have never visited.

    It's about time...

    we've been there in the past. A great spot, pretty area too, if it doesn't burn down.

    John: Fire Department was out last Saturday.?? Turned out it was a
    neighboring restaurant smoking beef for an evening event.?? We did have a
    fire in the Change House a few years ago which has given us a chance to
    redo all the displays and upgrade the museum presentation.?? Trunnion
    support on Tailing Wheel #1 failed about the same time and the Kennedy
    Foundation as able to lift the wheel and install temporary supports.??
    Timbers for restoration are cut and on site.?? This project makes a
    discussion subject on its own. Doug

    Hi Bill,

    Yes, I think I would be interested in visiting the Kennedy Mine.

    Thanks,

    I would also very much enjoy a Kennedy Mine trip. I drive by it on the way to mines further south on Hwy 49 quite often, but have never been in. Thanks.
