County Presentation, Sept 14, 2010

The Inyo County Board of Supervisors granted the Carson & Colorado Railway Society a 5 year renewable lease which gives us the right to restore #18 on site in Dehy Park and to transport its tender to the Eastern Sierra Museum and restore it there.

They made a special point of thanking us for preparing a very fine Assessment and Restoration Plan and for persevering so long, against so many setbacks, to finally get the chance to do what so many in this county want done.

Everyone knew what this meant, we are on our way, finally. Ted Peterson, Inyo County Administrator, pledged county support. Others, ordinary citizens and visitors, contributed over $2000 on the spot.
