Tahoe summer rushes in

While summer won’t officially start for another month, in Tahoe, we relish the warm days while they last and Memorial Day weekend marks the kickoff of Tahoe’s “summer.” Campgrounds, parks, boat ramps and historic sites around the Tahoe Sierra all open for Memorial Day weekend. As well, Memorial Day marks the beginning of the busy summer event season, and this season is shaping up to be one of the busiest for events since before the pandemic.

Kick off the season by pitching in at one of the many community cleanup events and enjoy the work of local artists and makers at the annual Made in Tahoe Festival. It’s also the start of summer trail building season, and local organizations from the Tahoe Rim Trail Association to TAMBA and many others are gearing up to tackle trail projects and volunteers are needed. Tahoe’s eight farmers’ market are all set to open, as well, offering a bounty of fresh-from-the-farm offerings to enjoy. Find information on these and many other summer events in this edition.

Wildfire Preparedness Guide released

We recently began distribution of the 4th annual Tahoe Wildfire Preparedness Guide and it marks the first time we’ve been able to produce the guide as a standalone publication, thanks to a grant from the TOT-TBID Dollars at Work program. The guide will primarily be distributed in eastern Placer County (service area for the grant program) from Homewood on the West Shore to Kings Beach on the North Shore, along with Olympic Valley and Northstar.

Thanks to additional financial support from sponsors and advertisers in the Wildfire Guide, Tahoe Guide will also be able to make copies available at all the visitor centers and fire districts in the region, locations in Truckee and at most local grocery stores. Read more about the Wildfire Guide and how to get a print or digital copy in this edition.

Swing into summer

Golf remains one of the top activities in the Tahoe Sierra for locals and visitors, and with 22 golf courses in the region there’s no shortage of challenging greens and breathtaking sites to enjoy. From courses along the shores of Lake Tahoe to high-elevation greens and fairways stretched across the Lost Sierra, there’s something for every level of player. Read our 14th annual Tahoe Sierra Golf Guide in this edition to learn more about local courses open to public play and about Tahoe’s historic golf courses, including Old Brockway, celebrating its 100th anniversary this season.

Age of Lake Tahoe: 2 million years

Fed By: 63 streams and 2 hot springs

Only Outlet: Truckee River (Tahoe City)

Number of Visitors: 17 million annually

HOW THE LAKE WAS FORMED

About 3 to 5 million years ago, the valley that would become the Tahoe Basin sank between parallel fractures in the Earth’s crust as the mountains on either side continued to rise. A shallow lake began to form in the resulting valley.

Roughly 2 to 3 million years ago, erupting volcanoes blocked the outlet, forcing the lake to rise hundreds of feet above its current elevation, and eventually eroded down to near its current outlet.

Between 1 million and 20,000 years ago, large masses of glacial ice covered the west side of the Tahoe Basin. Current geologic theory suggests an earthen berm (moraine) left by a receding glacier near Olympic Valley acted as a dam, causing the lake level to rise and then draw down rapidly when the dam catastrophically failed. Between 7,000 and 15,000 years ago, a 4-mile segment of

the West Shore collapsed into the Lake causing a massive submerged debris avalanche, widening the Lake by 3 miles and creating McKinney Bay.

The Tahoe Basin is mostly granite, with little topsoil, and therefore few nutrients have washed into the lake to promote the growth of algae and other organisms that make water murky. As well, 40 percent of the precipitation falling into the Tahoe Basin lands directly on the lake.

The remaining precipitation drains through the decomposed granite soil found in marshes and meadows, creating a good filtering system for water. Urbanization of the Tahoe Basin has eliminated 75 percent of its marshes, 50 percent of its meadows and 35 percent of its steam zone habitats. About 85 percent of all wildlife in the Tahoe Basin use these habitats.

LAKE CLARITY

The University of California, Davis, operates the Tahoe Environmental Research Center (tahoe. ucdavis.edu), which monitors the clarity of Lake Tahoe. Clarity has been measured since 1968 and was first recorded at 102.4’.

The waters of Lake Tahoe were clear to an average depth of 71.7’ (21.9m) in 2022. Lake Tahoe is losing clarity because of algae growth fueled by nitrogen and phosphorus.

ABOUT THE LAKE

Lake Tahoe is located in the states of California and Nevada, with two-thirds in California. It is fed by 63 streams and two hot springs.

The Truckee River is Tahoe’s only outlet and flows from the dam in Tahoe City east through Reno and eventually drains into Pyramid Lake in Nevada.

LAKE CLARITY:

2022: 71.7 feet depth (21.9 meters)

1968: First recorded at 102.4 feet (31.21 m)

AVERAGE DEPTH: 1,000 feet (304 m)

MAXIMUM DEPTH: 1,645 feet (501 m)

Lake Tahoe is the second deepest lake in the U.S. (Crater Lake in Oregon, at 1,932 feet, or 589 m, is the deepest), and the 11th deepest in the world.

VOLUME: 39 trillion gallons (147.6 trillion liters)

There is enough water in Lake Tahoe to supply everyone in the United States with more than 75 gallons (284 liters) of water per day for 5 years.

NATURAL RIM: 6,223’ (1,897 m)

Lake Tahoe sits at an average elevation of between 6,223’ and 6,229.1’. (1,897-1,899 m) The top 6.1’ (1.8 m) of water is controlled by the dam in Tahoe City and holds up to 744,600 acre feet of water (91,845 m).

SIZE: 22 miles long, 12 miles wide (35 km long, 19 km wide) Lake Tahoe is as long as the English Channel is wide.

SHORELINE: 72 miles (116 km)

Lake Tahoe has a surface area of 191 square miles (307 km). If Lake Tahoe were emptied, it would submerge California under 15 inches of water (.38 m)

However, water releases are not permitted when the lake surface level falls below the natural rim at 6,223’ (1,897 m). The lowest lake level on record (measured since 1900) was 6,220.26’ (1,896 m) on Nov. 30, 1992.

LAKE TAHOE’S DISCOVERY

The first recorded discovery of Lake Tahoe by white explorers was on Feb. 14, 1844, when John Charles Frémont and Charles Preuss spotted the lake from atop Red Lake Peak. The lake went through many names before it was officially named Tahoe in 1945. Tahoe is a mispronunciation of the first two syllables of the Washo’s word for the lake – Da ow a ga, which means “edge of the lake." n

Wildfire Preparedness Guide released

BY KATHERINE E. HILL

Tahoe Guide released the 4th annual Tahoe Wildfire Preparedness Guide in mid-May as a standalone publication for the first time. This guide provides resources for residents, vacation homeowners and visitors to be prepared in case of a wildfire.

The guide is a resource to be informed about local conditions; to create defensible space and take steps to safeguard homes and businesses against the threats of wildfires; to prepare your home, your family and your business in case of an evacuation; and tips on what to do if evacuation warnings and/or orders are issued and you need to leave. I created the Wildfire Preparedness Guide in 2021 following the outbreaks of the Tamarack, Dixie and Caldor fires in our region. Seeing a lack of public outreach and education on a broad scale to educate locals, visitors and vacation homeowners about wildfire safety preparedness, I decided to commit Tahoe Guide resources to create a public education series, which debuted days before the Caldor Fire forced the evacuation of South Lake Tahoe.

In 2022 and 2023, I published the guide in one edition of Tahoe Guide, but I wanted to be able to provide more outreach to the public and I was able to achieve that with a grant from the North Lake Tahoe Tourism Business Improvement District (TBID). Our grant is to produce the guide for the next three years as a standalone publication to educate the public, which will be distributed for free throughout the North Lake Tahoe community, including the West Shore, Olympic Valley and Northstar. The 2024 Wildfire Guide was funded by the TOT-TBID Dollars at Work program, which reinvests funds generated in North Lake Tahoe to support community vitality, environmental stewardship and economic health. Learn more at northtahoecommunityalliance.com.

The advertisers and financial sponsors in the guide have provided us with additional funding so that we can make copies available in Truckee, and to every fire district and visitor center in the region. And all our print subscribers received a copy of the Wildfire Guide mailed directly to them.

How to use the guide

The Tahoe Wildfire Preparedness Guide is available in print and digital formats at YourTahoeGuide.com/ fire. You can download it, fill out the checklists and post the resources section on your refrigerator. Save a copy of the resources and the Family Communication Plan in your Go Bag.

Direct URL links to every resource included in the guide are available at YourTahoeGuide.com/fire.

snowmobilers, snow bikers, UTVs and other motorized winter uses.

“This designation will help to ensure the health and safety of all recreationists, prevent damage to natural and cultural resources and will protect threatened, endangered and sensitive wildlife species,” the release reads. “The decision has been finalized after several years of analysis, consultation with tribes and robust public engagement with interested groups, individuals and agencies.”

OSV enthusiasts will continue to have access to areas within the Tahoe National Forest including Sierra Buttes/ Lake Basin, Robinson Flat, Donner Summit, Yuba Pass, Carpenter Ridge and White Rock Lake, among other locations.

The designation, authorizing public cross country OSV use on roads, trails and areas generally above 5,000 feet elevation will prevent damage to natural and cultural resources and minimize significant disruption of wildlife and habitats, according to the release.

Additionally, OSV use will continue to be off limits in key deer winter range, habitat for the Lahontan cutthroat trout at Independence Lake and habitat areas of the Sierra Nevada yellow-legged frog. Use will also be limited in some areas of the forest to protect historic structures. OSV designations will be implemented

before the 2025 snow recreation season.

The project, including the Final Environmental Impact Statement, Record of Decision and maps, are available online. Read Tahoe Guide’s complete coverage on OSV access in the region at YourTahoeGuide.com/access. | bit.ly/ tahoeOSV

It takes a lot of calories to stay in nursing shape and keep the cubs wellfed and growing; the mother bear may be two miles away. Or mom may be hiding nearby, stressed out and waiting for you to leave, so the longer you stay nearby, the longer the cubs will be on their own.

Welcome to Tahoe Guide’s 14th annual Tahoe Golf Guide for golf enthusiasts seeking to experience the pristine beauty and challenging courses of the Tahoe Sierra. Whether you’re a seasoned golfer or a newcomer to the sport, you’ll find something challenging and breathtaking at each of the 22 courses that surround Lake Tahoe. Our guide features all the courses open for public play in Tahoe, Truckee, Northstar, Olympic Valley and the Lost Sierra.

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE

Bijou Municipal Golf Course OPENS MAY 22

Discover the charm of Bijou Golf Course, a hidden gem in South Lake Tahoe. As one of the oldest courses in the area (opened 1920), Bijou boasts a rich history and offers a unique and inviting golfing experience for players of all skill levels.

Nestled in the breathtaking landscapes of South Lake Tahoe, Bijou Golf Course features a 9-hole executive layout, making it perfect for a quick round or for honing your short game skills. The course provides lush fairways and manicured greens against the stunning backdrop of the Sierra Nevada mountains. | cityofslt.us

Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course OPEN

South Lake Tahoe’s most prominent golf club is none other than Edgewood Tahoe. It shares its fairways with the shores of Lake Tahoe, giving it a one-of-a-kind feel and aesthetic.

Since its creation by George Fazio in 1968, and its later renovation by his nephew, world-renowned golf architect Tom Fazio, Edgewood has captured the imaginations and tested the mettle of golfers of all skill levels from around the globe.

Edgewood will host the American Century Championship from July 10 to 14; tickets are on sale. | edgewoodtahoe.com

Lake Tahoe Golf Course OPEN

Lake Tahoe Golf Course’s par 71, 6,741-yard championship golf course was designed by William Bell to blend harmoniously with its surroundings in the Sierra Nevada. Abundant waterfowl and mountain wildlife roam the edges of the manicured fairways and each tee box offers breathtaking views of Mount Tallac, Twin Peaks and the top of Heavenly.

The Upper Truckee River winds throughout the course and comes into play on seven holes, with lakes and streams in play on six others. An enjoyable challenge for golfers of all abilities, Lake Tahoe Golf Course has maintained its reputation for outstanding course conditions, responsible environmental practices, and best-inclass services. | laketahoegc.com

Tahoe Paradise Golf Course OPEN

NORTH LAKE TAHOE

Incline Village Championship Course OPEN

In 1964, Robert Trent Jones and his son laid out his grand design for the Incline Village Championship Golf Course, carving into the mountainside a course that would stand the test of time and set it apart in humble fashion among all others in the Tahoe Basin. This year, enjoy new hitting surfaces at the driving range and look for new and upgraded hitting mats in late June.

Timothy Sands, PGA, was recently hired as the general manager of golf operations for the Incline Village General Improvement District, which owns the Championship and Mountain courses.. Sands has spent his career in the golf industry working with both nonprofit and for-profit golf operations. As well, Robert Bruce, PGA, has been promoted to the role of senior head golf professional this season. Ashley Wood, PGA, returns for another season as the head of player development for the Incline Village Golf Academy. | inclinegolf.com

Incline Village Mountain Course OPENS MAY 24

Incline Village Mountain Golf Course is Nevada’s highest elevation course. It was built in 1968, designed by the legendary golf architect Robert Trent Jones Jr., who has put his stamp on courses such as Chambers Bay in Washington, which hosted the 2015 U.S. Open. It’s an 18-hole executive layout, but despite its moderate yardage and true to the nature of Jones’ golf philosophy, this is not a course that is easily conquered; pars here are won in a chess-like game of risk and reward. Donny Ohu returns for a second season as the assistant golf professional at the Mountain course. Donny has more than 10 years of experience in the golf industry and will continue to oversee innovative programs and clinics at the course. | inclinegolf.com

Old Brockway Golf Course OPEN

Old Brockway Golf Course is a nine-hole gem tucked into the forest, just a stone’s throw from Lake Tahoe’s shores in Kings Beach. Designed by John Duncan Dunn in the 1920s, it opened to the public in 1924. It is one of only a few century-old courses still in play in Tahoe (read the feature on Old Brockway’s 100th year in this edition).

Old Brockway was home of the 1st Bing Crosby Golf Tournament in 1934-35 and was the first 9-hole golf course in America to become an Audubon cooperative sanctuary. The course still maintains its old-fashioned feel: narrow fairway corridors, small greens and wild times. Old Brockway is usually one of the first to open and among the last to close each year. | oldbrockway.com

Tahoe City Golf Course OPEN

Well over 100 years old, the Tahoe City Golf Course has never ceased to provide great golf at a reasonable price since opening in 1917. The nine-hole, par-33 course is in downtown Tahoe City. Despite its compact stature, it provides fun and challenging play for both experts and novices.

In the middle of the 20th Century, the course was a popular hangout for Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack.

The legendary Tahoe Tavern Hotel commissioned Isabella May “Queenie” Dunn to design the course on what was then a hay meadow. It was expanded to nine holes in 1926, the same year her brother John laid out the Old Brockway Golf Course. The course remains a favorite among locals and visitors and is one of the only courses in the area where dogs play for free. | tcpud.org/golf

Old Brockway celebrates 100 Years

BY KAYLA ANDERSON

Onan early May spring morning, the greens are vibrant and glistening on Old Brockway. The Kings Beach golf course is always the first to open and the last to close, something that owner Lane Lewis prides himself on.

“April 18th was our opening day, and everything came out absolutely gorgeous,” Lewis says with a smile.

“When you have 100-year-old roots, the recovery period of the course is much better. Everyone drives by this and can’t believe how green this is.”

Lewis shows off the beautiful, rock pedestrian bridge on the ninth hole that mimics the Swilcan Bridge at Old Course Golf Resort in St. Andrews, Scotland; it pays homage to Old Brockway’s 100th year. Considering Old Brockway was designed by renowned Scottish architect John Duncan Dunn back in 1924, it’s a nice addition to its original layout.

Since 1924, this golf course has been in two families. Lewis’s dad Morgan bought it in 1978 when it was just remnants of the original Harry Comstock estate. Old Brockway was added as an amenity to the emerging development, but back then it was just a patch of land that they nicknamed “Rockway.”

In 1978, the Lewis family bought Old Brockway and it has remained in their hands ever since. Lane Lewis started managing the course when he was 24 years old and Old Brockway holds the record for being the longest continu-

ously owned business in North Lake Tahoe, as well as one of the oldest family-owned golf courses in the region. Two of his four sons are primed to take over management of it when he retires; currently his son Colin is the head golf professional and Kyle will be the operations manager. Golf course superintendent Dave Laurie has also been a mainstay at Old Brockway for the last 33 years.

Bing Crosby and Bob Hope played at Old Brockway in 1934 and 1935 and it became the home of the original Crosby Golf Tournament.

“He refers to his job as taking care of the old lady,” Lewis says.

Old Brockway has certainly had its ups and downs throughout the years but has held a solid reputation. Bing Crosby and Bob Hope played at Old Brockway in 1934 and 1935 and it became the home of the original Crosby Golf Tournament. Over the next several decades, golf professionals such as Tiger Woods, Annika Sorenstam and Patty Sheehan would also play the course.

The popular Spindleshanks restaurant moved to Old Brockway in 2014 and

Lane says it’s one of the best things that’s ever happened to the course.

“Millennials are coming into their prime earning years and they want quick and quality experiences,” Lewis says. “And Old Brockway combines a great dining experience with great golf.”

Old Brockway incorporated a new pro shop in 2016; ironically, the Covid pandemic in 2020 was a boon to the golf industry — and the course.

“We were the only course open for a couple of weeks west of Salt Lake City. We couldn’t handle what we had coming in and had to space everything out (due to social distancing protocols). We used to have 8-to 9-minute start times but now we have 12-minute start times. It’s less tee times but it creates a better golf experience,” Lewis says.

When playing Old Brockway, it’s also nice to see the flora and fauna that thrive there, thanks to it being an Audubon sanctuary

“We were the first nine-hole course in the region to obtain that designation; we’re proud of that. We’re managing this ecosystem the best way we can. We clean the water runoff and do restoration. All our fertilizers are organic and we let the non-mow zone grow up. Coyotes, bears and red-tailed hawks are always hanging out here.

“We’ve been introducing new wildflower areas and in the late 90s we built seven acres of artificial wetlands to help with the drainage and uptake of nitrogen

going into the lake. We treat the Highway 267 and Safeway runoffs in our ponds,” Lewis says. “People don’t think of a golf course being a natural filtration area, but we have to protect that lake. That’s our number one priority. Everyone tells us what a beautiful feeling it is to be on the back nine.”

The seventh and fourth holes are the two par 5s that could be considered its signature holes, but according to Lewis, every hole is unique

Looking toward the future of Old Brockway, Lewis says: “I was blessed that I was able to raise our four sons here with my wife, Helen. I totally enjoy what I do. It’s like they say, ‘Like what you do and you’ll never work a day in your life.’ I see the golf course evolving every day and the little details that make this place special. I’ve been here for 44 years and to watch this course evolve over the years and make it a Top 10 nine-hole course — only one of two in the nation west of the Mississippi — I’m proud of that.” | oldbrockway.com n

Tahoe’s historic golf courses

Famed as a haven for golf enthusiasts, the Tahoe Sierra boasts more than 20 courses featuring breathtaking panoramas and demanding fairways. Many of these courses have been crafted by renowned professional players or esteemed course architects, offering a blend of modern design and natural beauty.

Amidst these contemporary layouts, four courses nestled around Lake Tahoe hold the deepest connections to the region’s historic roots including Old Brockway Golf Course in Kings Beach, which open in 1924 and celebrates its 100th anniversary this season (read the feature in this edition).

Bijou Golf Course

This friendly nine-hole course on the South Shore opened in 1920. Bijou was first owned by Virgil Gilcrease and then changed hands once or twice before being sold to the City of South Lake Tahoe in 1983 with the condition that it remains available as a golf course. Almost a century after it opened, the course maintains its original configuration and is open to everyone at a great price.

Tahoe City Golf Course

Tahoe City Golf Course is the oldest at Lake Tahoe. It has been a locals’ favorite since 1917 when the legendary Tahoe Tavern Hotel commissioned Isabella May “Queenie” Dunn to design it. Born in England in 1880, Queenie

learned to play golf on a course laid out by her father, Tom Dunn, a famous club and course designer. Considered one of England’s best woman golfers and instructors, Mrs. Dunn Webb was among Great Britain’s first female professionals. In 1917, Queenie arrived in Tahoe City at the request of the Tahoe Tavern and designed a 6-hole course in the hay meadows near the mouth of the Truckee River. It was expanded to nine holes in 1926. Her brother John designed Old Brockway Golf Course.

Glenbrook Golf Course

The 9-hole Glenbrook Golf Course is a private venue on the East Shore of Lake Tahoe in charming Glenbrook, Nev. Originally the site of industrial-scale lumber milling operations in the 19th Century run by timber baron Duane L. Bliss, the land was later developed into a gated community. Construction of the golf course began in 1925, centered on meadowlands that sloped gently toward Lake Tahoe. It opened for business in 1927. Due to its status as a private club and community, Glenbrook didn’t get the same exposure to the celebrity traffic of Tahoe City and Old Brockway.

Ponderosa Golf Course OPEN

Originally brought to fruition by the townspeople and designed by Bob Baldock, Ponderosa Golf Course is Truckee’s oldest golf course, opening for play in 1961. It’s a short nine-hole course and, except for one severely uphill par 3, is quite flat.

From the moment you step off the first tee, you will notice that this is a long course, playing at more than 7,400 yards from the back tees. It’s mainly flat and open, tempting you to make the big shots, though cautionary play can at many times be beneficial because ideal landing zones are often filled with one hazard or another and generally require some creative thinking. | grizzlyranchliving.com

The course opened in 1980 and was sculpted by Homer Flint. It follows the Feather River around a sharply groomed, vibrant green oasis.

Old Greenwood

Tahoe Sierra trailblazer, Part I

BY MARK MCLAUGHLIN

CalebGreenwood was illiterate so what we know about him was written or reminisced by others who met him. Incredibly, Greenwood was more than 80 years old when he became a major player in the opening of the California Trail over Donner Pass, blazing shortcuts and cutting alternate routes used by tens of thousands of emigrants before and during the Gold Rush.

Old Greenwood, as he was known, was instrumental in guiding the Stephens Party (first wagons over Donner Pass) in 1844 and involved in the critical rescue efforts of Donner Party survivors in 1847. He possessed grit, determination and fortitude, essential characteristics of America’s western mountain men.

Born in Virginia in 1763, he grew up in the years of unrest and periodic violence preceding the American Revolution. When he was 18, he killed a sheriff who was collecting the Greenwood family’s Black cook (probably a slave) as payment for debt owed. Caleb’s father had agreed to the transaction, but when the woman protested, the teenager grabbed a rifle and shot the lawman. Greenwood Sr. ordered his son to leave the country, so the teenager journeyed west past the Mississippi River into Indian Country. Little is known of young Greenwood’s life during the next quarter century, but in 1810, at the age of 47, he was unmarried and working as a meat hunter for John Jacob Astor’s Pacific Fur Company on the Upper Missouri River. He soon switched to a rival trapping outfit but continued in the fur trade for another decade before joining the Crow Indian tribe at the age of 63 to take a wife, Batchicka Youngcault.

Wagon train guide

In the summer of 1844, Elisha Stephens met Caleb Greenwood on the Oregon Trail and hired him to guide his small wagon train of families past the Rocky Mountains to Fort Hall, a primitive trading post on the Snake River in eastern Oregon Country. At the time, Old Greenwood was 81 years old and boasted more than 30 years’ experience as a wilderness trapper. He was accompanied by two of his sons, John (20) and Britton (18). Over the years Greenwood had “gone Indian” from long residence with the Crow Tribe in Yellowstone country, where his half Crow, half French wife Batchicka birthed seven children.

An adolescent pioneer described the aged guide: “Greenwood was a very picturesque old man. He was dressed in

buckskins and had a long heavy beard and used very picturesque language.”

His sons were mixed race but wholly Native by their upbringing. In general, they kept to themselves while guiding wagon trains.

On Aug. 17, 1844, the Stephen-Townsend-Murphy Party left Fort Hall and the Oregon Trail to follow the tracks of a packtrain from the year before. In fact, frontier explorer Joseph Walker had traced an Indian trail down the Humboldt River to California in 1833 — through Owens Valley and Walker Pass — and in 1843 guided the Joseph B. Chiles party that way, but no one had successfully reached the Pacific Coast with wagons. Captain Stephens’ group of 50 men, women and children had little information about the trail ahead but determined to push forward. Greenwood was vaguely familiar with the region.

Chief Truckee shows the way

River and a creek (Donner) about 1 mile west of the present town of Truckee. First to arrive and unsure which stream to follow, six headed south on horseback along the river; one man, two boys and three women. Free of wagons they traveled light and fast to Sutter’s Fort (Sacramento). They would alert John Sutter that wagons were on the way.

The balance of the party with 11 wagons pushed west toward Truckee Lake (Donner Lake). From there they could see a massive wall of granite closing off the basin and after three days reconnoitering realized it was impossible to get all their gear over it. On Nov. 25, the company crossed the pass with five wagons and became the first to open the California Trail. In the memoirs there is no mention of Caleb Greenwood during this final portion of the journey, but it is reasonable to think that his physical presence, experience and the vitality of his sons contributed materially to the success of the epic crossing.

In the memoirs there is no mention of Caleb Greenwood, but it is reasonable to think that his physical presence, experience and the vitality of his sons contributed materially to the success of opening the California Trail.

Isaac Hitchcock, a 64-year-old backwoodsman with the group, informed Greenwood that he had been part of Walker’s 1833 expedition and knew a shortcut southwest over barren high desert toward the vital Humboldt River. Nearly 50 miles of the route lacked water, but it took 85 miles and seven days off the journey. Mountain man William Sublette had also tested the route the year before. Ironically, the shortcut became known as the Greenwood-Sublette Cutoff.

The party reached Humboldt Sink in early October and fortuitously encountered an old Northern Paiute Indian. Greenwood communicated with him by sign and diagrams drawn on the ground. It seems the trapper named the Indian “Truckee” for his frequent use of the word. (This was not the man’s name, but even so the Indian chief adopted it for the rest of his life. Chief Truckee’s granddaughter Sarah Winnemucca Hopkins wrote that the word means “all right or very well.”)

Truckee indicated that 50 or 60 miles to the west a river flowed east out of the mountains with large trees and good grass. Stephens and two others took the kind old Indian as guide/hostage to find the river. The Indian’s description was correct and the party pressed on eventually crossing a 40-mile-wide desert to reach present-day Truckee Meadows (Reno, Nev.). In appreciation they named the stream Truckee and ascended into the river’s upper canyon. The route was a natural passageway west, but challenging; one day they had to cross the river 10 times. Men and oxen labored for hours in cold water where feet and hooves grew soft from constant immersion creating debilitating pain and lameness.

Opening the California Trail

In mid-November, the Stephens Party approached the junction of the Truckee

Shortly after their arrival in early 1845, Caleb, John and Britton joined John Sutter’s military effort in the Micheltorena War. After the brief conflict ended in defeat for Sutter’s volunteer army, the Greenwoods traveled north to explore Napa Valley. Barely six months after their arrival in California they agreed to lead a dozen, jaded emigrants back to Fort Hall.

On the way east, instead of struggling with the tortuous terrain in the upper Truckee Canyon, Greenwood blazed a new route by following a ravine northeast of the river to Alder Creek, Russell Valley and through Dog Valley. (This explains why the Donner Party arrived at Truckee Lake from the north.) Back at Fort Hall, Greenwood was looking to earn more money leading greenhorns to California. It was a new economic reality for old trappers as the beaver pelt trade disappeared and westbound pioneers needed guides with wilderness experience.

THE lineup

The Coffis Brothers Classic California harmonies

BY SEAN MCALINDIN

Somethingspecial about California is that everything seems to grow here — including original music.

In fact, it’s hard to imagine the Coffis Brothers coming up anywhere else. They are the perfect amalgam of Bakersville country, Laurel Canyon cool and San Francisco abandon.

Kellen and Jamie Coffis grew up in the small beach town of Aptos in Santa Cruz County. Their mother was a children’s singer who taught them how to warble three-part harmonies with the youngest, Kellen, on melody. On long car rides, they listened to polyphonic groups such as The Beatles and The Everly Brothers. Kellen learned to play guitar, Jamie the piano.

“When we were kids, it felt like music was there always,” says Kellen on his way down Highway 9 to teach a guitar lesson. “We used to sing into an old phone answering machine. That was our recording system. We were singing harmonies together before I even knew what that was.”

The Coffis Brothers are the perfect amalgam of Bakersville country, Laurel Canyon cool and San Francisco abandon.

As they grew up, they grew apart, as brothers tend to do — but only for a while. In their early 20s, Jamie and Kellen reconnected with a ripened love of music. They started doing songs by Tom Petty and other classic artists from the 60s and 70s. The harmonies, of course, came back effortlessly.

Longtime friend Kyle Poppen joined on lead guitar and The Coffis Brothers band was born. Now, with Aidan Collins on bass and Cory Graves on drums, the band is a magnetic force of classic California rock brimming with easy harmonies, hooky songwriting and just the right amount of twang.

Take one listen to charming tracks such as “Ramona” and “The One That Got Away” from their 2022 “Turn My

Radio Up” and you’ll surely agree. They recently completed mixes on a follow-up LP scheduled for release this fall.

“The songs do feel like we are in our 30s now, whatever that means. There’s a few lines about car trouble and house plants dying. A few less love songs. We’ve been playing in this band for 12 years and experienced quite a bit together. While we always do it in sort of a light-hearted way, there’s a little bit of reflection on that. I’ll have to listen to it again to figure out what it all means.”

The upcoming album (their sixth) was recorded in the studio of Northern California music icon Tim Bluhm of The Mother Hips.

“We’ve been fans of his for a long time and we always thought when we’d earned enough credit, we’d reach out to him,” says Coffis. “After that, we hit it off really well and we’ve since become good friends.”

Coming from a musician they love and respect, Bluhm’s support and guidance goes a long way in the competitive, sometimes discouraging, world of live music.

“You see so many other people doing what you’re trying to do. You play a show and no one comes out. It’s easy to say, ‘This isn’t working.’ Right off the bat, Tim gave us belief in our songs and

our ability to sing.”

As far as brothers go, Kellen and Jamie are closer than ever.

“It’s always been the two of us,” says Coffis. “We’ve been there the whole time together. And at this point, we realize that this band is a pretty important thing. We’ve got each other’s backs. We don’t always agree on everything because you’re not going to, but we’ve got a good perspective on supporting each other. We’re older and more mature than when we started. We both have opinions, but ultimately, we settle in a good spot.”

The Coffis Brothers will perform at Valhalla Tahoe’s Boathouse Theater on the Tallac Historic Site in South Lake Tahoe on June 5 at 7:30 p.m. They also play with Tim Bluhm on July 7 at 7 p.m. at Three Sheets Brewing Company at Moe’s BBQ in Tahoe City. | coffisbrothers.com, valhallatahoe.com n

Snappy spring salad dressings

BY PRIYA HUTNER

Bright and bitter greens with colorful vegetables beg to be dressed. There are hundreds of varietal lettuces to choose, from the somewhat humble iceberg to the peppery, flavorful arugula to the bitter dandelion and frisee (not my favorite, but fine tossed in a big salad). Each deserves a dressing that will enhance the greens.

Bitter greens are delicious with a sweeter balsamic dressing. Iceberg works with a creamy, zesty topping (think of the delightful wedge salad), while staunch and steady romaine lettuce can wear almost any flavorful dressing. My favorite green is arugula. I add golden beets, grilled peaches, toasted pine nuts and goat cheese and dress it with a lemon nut vinaigrette. A basic dressing consists of oil, vinegar and seasoning. The key is the balance of acidity to oil. The ratio of oil to vinegar is a source of preference. The general rule is a 3-to-1 ratio of oil to vinegar; alas, rules are meant to be broken.

A basic dressing consists of oil, vinegar and seasoning. The key is the balance of acidity to oil. The general rule is a 3-to1 ratio of oil to vinegar; alas, rules are meant to be broken.

Emulsify your dressing

Do you shake the dressing or blend it? Add a touch of Dijon mustard or mayo? Is it important to emulsify a dressing? Emulsifying a dressing keeps it from separating, ensuring it evenly flavors and adheres to greens. When mixed, vinegar and herbs sink to the bottom and separate from the oil. Even after shaking it and pouring it over the greens, the oil will stick to the greens and the vinegar to the bottom of the bowl, leaving a flavorless salad.

Emulsifying a dressing by adding mustard, mayonnaise, miso, agave or honey creates a well-blended, flavorful dressing. Use a whisk, fork or blender to combine the ingredients.

Oil and vinegar

There are many types of oils to pick from. I prefer olive oil, but avocado oil, safflower oil, vegetable oil or a lovely, flavorful infused oil are just a few of the oils that can be used as a base. There are also many kinds of vinegars. Some basics are red wine, balsamic vinegar, rice wine, apple cider vinegar and seasonal flavored vinegar.

Citrus is another way to add acidity to a dressing. I love a good lemon vinaigrette, lime cilantro or a tasty tangerine or orange dressing.

Infusing oil is a wonderful way to add flavor to oils with garlic, shallots, fresh herbs or diced red onion. These add some snappy pep to the oil, making dressings even more flavorful. Can you infuse vinegar? Use a base vinegar, such as white wine, red wine, balsamic or champagne vinegar and add fresh herbs, garlic or fruit (think berries or citrus) and let sit for two to four weeks in the pantry, stirring it every other day.

Wine to vinegar

Have you ever had to throw away half a bottle of unfinished wine or champagne? Instead, make your own vinegar with the leftovers. Put the wine or champagne in a jar, cover with cheesecloth or a coffee filter and rubber band with no lid to allow it to breath and set aside in the pantry for two to four weeks. After four weeks, do a taste test. If the liquid is tangy like vinegar, remove the cheesecloth and cover with a lid. Store in a cool, dark place.

In addition to thinking about the type greens the salad is being prepared with, I also think about what I am serving for a main course when I consider what dressing to use. I might lean into a lighter dressing if the main course is Italian or a heavier one. If I make a Greek dish for dinner, a traditional Greek or Fattoush salad lends itself to a red wine, vinegar-based dressing. For a Mexican meal, I might lean into a cilantro lime dressing, which can be light or creamy. For an Asian dinner, I love a ginger miso dressing or a sesame ginger carrot dressing. Thematic menus cry out for a salad dressing to match.

Creamy dressings are delightful. A creamy Caesar dressing, buttermilk ranch or a creamy gorgonzola match with certain salads.

Nuts are another great way to create a dressing. They add richness and a lovely flavor. I love a good, toasted pine-nut dressing. Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor to dressings. Coarse salt and fresh ground pepper will round out the dressing.

Salad dressings also make excellent marinades for vegetables and meats. I love marinating vegetables in Italian dressing and grilling them. n
