Eastern Sierra history program features 'Snowshoe Thompson, Mailman of the Sierra'
On Dec. 11 at noon, Wylder Hotel Hope Valley continues its Eastern Sierra speaker series with a living history presentation of Snowshoe Thompson-Mailman of the Sierra.
Thompson carried the mail across the Sierra Nevada winter snows for 20 years. He would travel the 180-mile round trip in just five days on his hand-crafted snow skates (skis) with nothing more than a jacket, dried meat, matches and his 80 pound bag of mail.
The program is free and open to the public, and presented inside the Resort’s heated tent. Wylder will also be offering a “History Program Lunch Special” in their Café during the program.
