Whiskey Dawn
Friday, October 15
Whiskey Dawn is California’s hottest country band, known for their inspiring original music, tight, high-energy performances, and passionate vocals. They have performed with several Nashville acts, most recently with Faith Hill at Ironstone Vineyards in Murphys. Precision harmonies, dynamic instrumentation and a passion for music, the Whiskey Dawn performance is the place to be on October 15th. Seating will begin at 6:30 PM on the Lodge Patio and you must show your armband “ticket” for admission. The boys will kick into action at 7:00 PM. Tickets must be purchased separately and are not part of dinner at Timbers. Tickets are $15 per person at the Activities Monitors desk in the Lodge lobby.
Apple Hill
Wednesday, October 13
A day spent at Apple Hill ranches conjures up memories of simpler times. The sights, sounds, smells and tastes are around every corner………try an apple donut at Boa Vista; enjoy a no-host lunch at High Hill and browse their extensive apple barn and craft areas; a short walk from High Hill is Madrona Vineyards where you can do a little wine tasting; walk through the museum at Larsen’s, then purchase one of their delicious turnovers for the ride home. We’ll get you started with an apple fritter and a cup of coffee as we leave the Lodge. This is a wonderful day in the Camino area above Placerville. Lots of walking, and most walk ways are uneven, dirt or gravel paths and roads. Sturdy, comfortable shoes are a must. Average temperature during October is 74 degrees; however, it has been known to be much cooler, so a jacket is recommended. Pies, jams/jellies, crafts, pumpkins and candies may be purchased at each stop….we have plenty of storage in the luggage bins. Another suggestion, bring a tote bag with your name on it to keep all your goodies together. All West Coachlines is offering a wonderful bargain on transportation so cost per person will have this trip filling up quickly…….don’t miss out on this very enjoyable day.

Old Sacramento
& the Train Museum
Friday, October 15
The California State Railroad Museum in Old Sacramento is the world-class tribute to the role of the “iron horse” in connecting California to the rest of the nation. The museum features 21 lavishly restored locomotives and cars, some dating back to 1862. There is a full-scale diorama of an 1860’s construction site high in the Sierra Nevada as well as a bridge elevated 24 feet above the museum floor. Our 10:00 AM docent led tour will take us through the lower level of the museum only; after which you may explore the upper level on your own (accessible by ramp or elevator.) Then you are on your own to explore Old Sacramento at your own pace……check out the unique shops, enjoy lunch on your own at one of the many restaurants, take a short boat ride on the Sacramento River or spend additional time at the Railroad Museum. Wooden sidewalks, uneven, cobblestoned walkways and streets dictate the need for sturdy, comfortable walking shoes. Plenty of places to sit and relax.
Depart: 9:00 AM / Return: 4:00 PM / RSVP: 9/30/10
Cost: $34 (transportation, museum admission, driver/escort gratuities)
