Mono Lake Luxury Bus Tour
September 22–25, 2000
Back in 1984 emeritus Board Member Grace de Laet, and her husband Rick organized a luxury bus tour from the Bay Area to introduce people to a beautiful and endangered oasis: Mono Lake. The trip was so well received that many have asked when another will be arranged. We are delighted to announce that Grace and Rick are repeating the luxurious bus trip from San Francisco to Mono Lake in celebration of Zenaida Mott’s Mono Basin painting exhibit at the Ansel Adams Gallery in Lee Vining.
The tour will leave the Bay Area on Friday, September 22, and will return Monday, September 25. Exquisite travel accommodations will be provided by California Parlor Car Tours in San Francisco. The luxury coach will accommodate 35 people. Some highlights include:
• a gourmet picnic at Knight’s Ferry on the Merced River
• cocktails at Tioga Pass with a historical talk and update on the Mono Basin
• a sumptuous dinner at the Mono Inn overlooking Mono Lake
• swimming, canoeing, and birding at Mono Lake with Committee staff
• a special reception at the Ansel Adams Gallery at Mono Lake and grand opening of Zenaida Mott’s exhibition of Mono Basin paintings
• dinner at the Carson Peak Inn overlooking June Lake
• a special trip to the historic ghost town of Bodie
• a picnic at the famous Ahwahnee Lodge in Yosemite
• a bar-b-que at the Tenaya Lodge
• a visit to the Kesterson Wildlife Refuge
The profits received from this special trip will be used to further the ongoing restoration of Mono Lake and its streams. For more information, contact Shelly Backlar (shelly@monolake.org) at (818) 716-8488.
