I have to miss Mr. Radanovich on Sunday.
Do not miss this talk to learn about the early days of Yosemite.
As I am reading, Discovery of the Yosemite by Mr.Bunnell it would be nice to hear what Leroy has to say. Would like to have a audio tape if someone would be willing to tape the event !
Also this calendar will be moving to it's own page when the Goldrushcam Crew finally has time to make a new page !!
