I can’t imagine a better time and place to grow up than in Truckee. My dad was the Park supervisor in the ‘80’s. I have great memories of spending summers going to work with dad and “helping” with whatever projects were going on. I seem to recall the amphitheater being built during his stint. Graduated high school in ‘87. It’s crazy to see all the development around Donner Lake, kinda sad really. Take care of my hometown people.

Were you around the early Prosser pit moto days?

@@gemmegroup sure was. I lived in Tahoe Donner and could get anywhere around Tahoe by trails or dirt roads on my ‘79 Yamaha IT175 and hit the pits up every now and then. I had a buddy who I rode with a lot who lived on the summit so ended up riding trails up there a lot. Then 151/2 came and my dad had bought me ‘81 Yamaha Seca 550 a few months before outta nowhere but on one of our weekend routines but nit to our usual Reno destination but this time we had ridden on his gs1150 and we’d usually go to the mall or gun shops and motorcycle shops, we’ll I ended up following him home on my brand new (used) bike. So ended up selling the 175 and started carving up the roads. As a kid I did appreciate growing up there and all the things to do. And never thought I was spoiled although looking back it’s hard not to think that, but we were middle class I imagine and really couldn’t complain about anything. The world seems like such a different place now and seems like times like that are gone. And if I understand correctly Donner Lake is almost all private?! I was a cashier at 15 at Westend Beach Donner lake then lifeguarded from 16-17 and I’m pretty sure you could go virtually anywhere on or around the lake back then save a small area with a boat launch at the east end where the Tahoe Donner property owners had an area. Anyways good times.

@@adamanderson8843 I had a plated '92 Honda XR250L when I use to live in Truckee. I would like every trail I could, single track, pits, and fireroads. I would ride to Reno via Dog Valley road ohv systems, up to Verdi peak, TD, and occasionally through the old donner trail tunnels. Donner Lake has certainly changed, most of it is private. Love hearing the stories from how it was back then.

They said they would never sell around the lake. My family loved Donner Lake picnics on the weekends. 1965 first time.
