Good Morning Truckee: Sagehen Field Research Station and "Mistaken Tahoe"

Good Morning Truckee welcomes two very interesting and different topics for the June 13th gathering.

We will hear from Jeff Brown, Reserve Manager at Sagehen Creek Field Research Station, about some of the fascinating work done at this research and teaching facility of the University of California.

The Field Station, located off of Hwy 89 12 miles north of Truckee, has a collection of more than 60 years’ worth of scientific data that is used in diverse fields of study such as climate change, hydrology, and forest ecology. A special addition to this segment will include some TTUSD fifth-grade students talking about their annual field trip to Sagehen offering unique, hands-on learning experiences in an outdoor classroom.

The second speaker will be the always entertaining David C. Antonucci, author and professional speaker, sharing “Fibs, Fakes & Falsehoods – Mistaken Tahoe.” Dave will cover some of the most popular “alternative facts” about Tahoe that are not true, e.g., cause of the blue colored water, meaning of Tahoe name, fate of drowning victims, total shoreline length, secret outlet to Virginia City mines, Tahoe Tessie, and the Jacques Cousteau submarine dive.

Good Morning Truckee is a community forum to provide timely and relevant information on a variety of topics and create a networking opportunity.
