( 3 / 6861 )Portion of Tioga Road in Yosemite National Park to be Temporarily Closed
Closure Needed to Support Firefighting Efforts in Park
A portion of the Tioga Road, from Crane Flat to White Wolf, will be temporarily closed to all vehicular traffic beginning tomorrow, Wednesday, August 28, 2013, at 12:00 noon. The closure is necessary for firefighters to perform fire suppression activities along the road. This portion of the road is anticipated to be closed at least through Labor Day Weekend. The park will issue an update as conditions allow for the reopening of the road.
“The work that will be performed over the next few days is instrumental in suppressing the Rim Fire within Yosemite. The safety of the firefighters working along the road is our paramount concern,” stated park Superintendent Don Neubacher.
Tamarack Flat and Yosemite Creek Campgrounds, both located along the Tioga Road within the closure, will remain closed during the fire suppression efforts. White Wolf Campground and White Wolf Lodge will remain closed. The Tioga Road will remain open east of White Wolf to the Tioga Pass Entrance. The Porcupine Flat Campground, the Tuolumne Meadows Campground, and all visitor services within Tuolumne Meadows will remain open.
Highway 41, from the southern portion of the park, and Highway 140, from the western portion of the park, will remain open. Both of these roads provide access to Yosemite Valley.
A fund to help the park restore trails, facilities, and wildlife habitat has been established by the Yosemite Conservancy. People wishing to contribute to the fund can donate online at yosemiteconservancy.org/fire. People can also donate via mail by sending donations to Yosemite Conservancy 101 Montgomery, Suite 1700 San Francisco, CA 95104.

( 3 / 3919 )Beatty Days:
Located: Cottonwood Park, Third and Amargosa St, Beatty Nevada.
Beatty Nevada holds an annual celebration of its 1904 founding and historical heritage during the Beatty Days which is held at the end of October. Presented by the Beatty Chamber of Commerce on the last Friday of every October, this event is a fun filled weekend that contains entertainment for people of all ages.
This annual celebration consists of family-style events that are reminiscent of Beatty’s early years more than a century ago. The whole town gets involved in staging events and activities intended to entertain participants and observers. No such festival would be complete without a parade, live music, Wild West shootouts, eating competitions and a few hilarious events such as the Beatty bed races.
Throughout the weekend take a horse-drawn wagon ride through town and participate in a few contests that require very little skill, such as the Pickle Liquor Hoot ‘n Holler, Chicken Poo Bingo, the Cherry Stem Tongue Tie and of course the Root Beer Belching Contest. Truly an experience that cannot be missed!
While enjoying this fun event, stay with Mammoth Rental By Owner and experience NoMadness at our comfortable vacation rentals in Mammoth Lakes.
