Great service Great beer

stunning atmosphere
Written by Jeremy Burke Photos by Jeremy Burke

To say that I was shocked when I walked into this new brewery is
an understatement. Many of the beer names are nautical in reference,
such as Spinnaker, Vesper Nine, Moby Dick and a cult-favorite the Yojo.
The brewery has been in operation for less than four months and already has a beer with a cult following. In speaking with Brewmaster
Zack Frasher you can quickly understand why. Zack lives and breathes
brewing beer.
He started in the industry in 2008 brewing at his Auburn home in
2008.
Eight years later Zack is now an award-winning brewmaster. He recently won at the California State fair for his Blonde Ale brew. Zack
explains that his beers are bright and soft with flavors in all the right
places.

Dan and Karen Powell spent the last year and a half building the brewery. Dan also
owns Pacific Power, the solar company that shares the building with the brewery, which
is why the brewery is 100 percent solar. Dan said this is the only brewery that is all solar.
Karen, a nurse by day, must have been in charge of the decorating. There are so many
well thought-out spaces to create conversation areas. Real chairs and beautiful tables this is far from your typical warehouse brewery.
As far as the beer goes they stay true to Zacks vision and I would explain them as
smooth micro-brews. Not the typical hoped-up 13 percent alcohol brews.
Moonraker Brewing will soon be the place to be in Auburn.

Bam Dazy
BBQ

It comes as no surprise that Bam Dazy BBQ has quickly become a fan favorite in the Auburn Community. Husband and
wife team, Brendon and Meghan Sullivan, are more like local
celebrities than restaurant owners. You know what they say
though; the quickest way to anyones heart is through their
stomach. For five years now, Bam Dazy has been serving
consistently good quality food, providing excellent service,
and creating an inviting atmosphere equal to that of an intimate backyard barbecue.
Barbecue has always been a passion for both Brendon and
Meghan. It started out small with entertaining events with
friends and entering in professional competitions. They coordinated a few catering opportunities for friends and small
parties, but all of this was driven by their love of a good barbecue. It was more of an enjoyable hobby. Both Brendon and

12

Foothill Magazine

Meghan were working full time at the hospital before even

considering opening up a restaurant. Brendon was an EMT,
but when the space became available to open Bam Dazy,
both Brendon and Meghan couldnt refuse. They named the
restaurant after their two beloved Boston Terriers, Bam and
Daisy.
We jumped off the cliff, said Meghan and it has been the
hardest thing the two have ever done.
However, with all the uncertainty of being business owners, the past five years have been highly rewarding. The success that has come from opening Bam Dazy has been much
grander than they both expected. However, their success
was not brought upon them without hard work and extreme
dedication. Brendon now runs the restaurant full time which
means that on most days he is putting in 15 or more hours.
This is what I love to do, commented Brendon.
Catering has been something that Bam Dazy has always
offered. However, three years ago they adapted their catering skills to provide full service catering. That includes set up,
tear down, linens, cake, the works, you name it.
We will do anything, said Meghan.

From a party in the park to a white tablecloth wedding reception, Bam Dazy has
stepped up and added full service catering to
their list of services.
One of the many unique aspects of Bam
Dazy is that all of their sauces are original.
Each sauce was used in barbecue competitions before they became so popular on the
menu.
Sticking to their roots in barbecue is of
great importance to both Brendon and
Meghan. While Bam Dazy does offer an array
of sandwiches and burgers, their true heart
and soul lies in their smoked delicacies. True
BBQ is hard to come by, but Bam Dazy has the
recipes down to a science.
Even with winning several awards in barbecue competitions and the local success of
winning Best of the Best, both Brendon and
Meghan attribute it all to their loyal customers.
We have great customers. They are all family. They support us so much, commented
Meghan.
The future looks bright for Bam Dazy and it
looks like the finest BBQ is here to stay. Maybe one day soon we will be able to purchase
of Bam Dazys eclectic sauces in our local
supermarkets or compete in a local competition hosted by the restaurant. You can also
find Bam Dazy donating time and food to golf
tournaments, fundraisers for families in need,
CHP, Placer County Sheriff, and other good
causes. To find out more about Bam Dazy and
their menu be sure to check out their Facebook as well as their website, www.bamdazybbq.com.

CREATE A NON-TOXIC SLEEP

ENVIRONMENT- YOUR BODY RESTORED
Purchasing an organic mattress and/or bedding is a very sensible purchase. As
humans we spend 1/3 of our life sleeping. The fact is, our bodies are continuously
breathing and absorbing whatever chemicals are used in the products we sleep on.
There is growing concern that many of these chemicals widely used in conventional
mattresses may be harmful to our health. When you purchase an organic mattress or
organic bedding, youll be eliminating the hazardous chemicals from your bedroom
and creating a healthier, non-toxic sleep environment. A comfortable night sleep is
important, but a comfortable, healthy and safe night sleep is essential.
Benefits of Organic
When you purchase an organic mattress or organic bedding products, youll be
eliminating the hazardous chemicals from your bedroom and creating a healthier,
non-toxic sleep environment. Purchasing an organic mattress and bedding is not only
an investment in a comfortable night sleep, but its also an investment in your overall
health and wellness.
The great thing about organic mattresses is that theres no loss or downgrade in
comfort or safety vs a conventional mattress.
Organic mattresses are made using the same techniques and as their non-organic
rivals, but without the harmful chemicals associated with conventional mattresses.
The highest quality organic materials and craftsmanship are present in all products
made for Eco Bedroom Solutions. the only thing youll be losing is the toxicity and
potential adverse health risks that conventional mattresses provide.
Drawbacks of non-organic
Over the last few decades, natural mattress materials have been replaced with petroleum-based synthetics. Nearly all mattresses in use today contain polyurethane
foam, vinyl (PVC), phthalates, formaldehyde, chemical fire retardants or barriers, and
an extensive list of added industrial chemicals, many of which have been untested and
approved by our Federal Government.
Natural mattress materials have been replaced with petroleum-based synthetics.
Recent professional studies have questioned the use of these materials. The proven
effects of these materials is still unknown, mostly because tracking their long term
effects is virtually impossible. The problem with these hazardous and toxic chemicals
making their way into our mattresses and bedding is that our bodies are continuously
breathing and absorbing whatever chemicals are used in the products we sleep on.
Even if we are absorbing these chemicals in low doses, the fact is we spend over 1/3 of
our time as humans sleeping, this is a significant amount of time to allow our bodies
such close and extended exposure to potentially harmful materials. Source- Parent

61 years of endurance riding

The Western State Trail Ride, popularly called the Tevis Cup Ride, is the
oldest modern day endurance ride, having been held annually since 1955. As
such, it has been the inspiration and model for the most challenging endurance rides worldwide.
The ride begins at the Robie Equestrian Park (elevation 7,000 feet), south of
Truckee and descends gradually to the Truckee River at the Midway Crossing
on Highway 89. The trail takes a route through Squaw Valley, to Emigrant
Pass ending in Auburn.
The ride was first organized by Wendell Robie, an Auburn businessman and
devoted rider of the Sierra high country. Many people in the 50s doubted
that any modern-day horse could cover the rugged trail from Lake Tahoe to
Auburn in a single day. Wendell and a few of his friends proved them wrong
in August of 1955. He continued to hold the ride annually thereafter and
organized the Western States Trail Foundation to preserve the 100 mile trail
and the Ride.
The Ride is sanctioned by AERC, the American Endurance Ride Conference.

Foothill Magazine

Each rider who completes the 100 mile course

from Tahoe to Auburn with the 24 hour limit and
whose mount is judged fit to continue is awarded the coveted silver Completion Award Buckle.
The Tevis Cup trophy is awarded to the person
who completes the 100-mile One Day course in
the shortest amount of time and whose horse is
in sound condition and fit to continue. The Tevis
Cup was named for Lloyd Tevis (1824 1899) by
his grandson Wil Tevis, a prominent San Francisco
businessman and early benefactor of the Ride, and
was first awarded in 1959 to Nick Mansfield, riding Buffalo Bill, an eleven year old TB Cross gelding. The other major trophy, the Haggin cup, is
awarded to the rider whose horse is in the most
superior physical condition of the first ten horses
to cross the finish line. The Haggin Cup, named
for James Ben Ali Haggin (1821 1914), was first
awarded in 1964 to Paige Harper, riding his six
year old Arabian gelding, Keno.
The Josephine Stedem Scripps Foundation Cup
was established in 1994 to recognize each of the
finishing Junior Riders for their special achievement. The first Junior finisher was David Jay, Jr.,
who completed the 3rd annual Ride in 1957.

History

Quirk
quackery
make a comeback
and

Written by Gus Thompson Photos By Jeremy Burke

It was once a
bizarre world
after all, medically
speaking.
Walk into the Gold Country Medical
Museum, and youre treading on hallowed
ground that celebrates a world gone by
that was part healing arts, part quackery. Inspect closely and things can take a
squeamish turn toward the weird from
the perspective of a 21st century scientific
advancement.
There is a collection of hundreds of medical objects on display in the 161-year-old
Old Town Auburn building that once housed
the first Placer County hospital.
Curator Rod Moser gave a sneak peek of
the revamped displays, which are about 60
percent changed from the collection of objects seen when the museum last opened
for a daylong public showing in August.
And he shared his views on what he considers five of the most bizarre objects in a
collection that shows just how far medicine
has come in the last century.

Replete with small, ersatz red veins baked

on for realism. The collection was placed
in a fitting tray circa 1920. With many
veterans returning with eye damage from
shrapnel after World War I, replacement
eyeballs were in demand and somewhat of
a common sight in the Auburn area.

Night braces

Tiny shoes fitting an infants feet were attached

to a strip of metal in an attempt while the
child was sleeping to straighten feet that were
either turned out or in. Theyre from the 1950s,
before the medical world discovered that feet
self-correct. Cruel shoes, indeed.

ozone generator
from the 1915-1920 era

Humphreys
Specifics pills

A collection of bottles contain pills dating to

the 1920s that promised relief for everything
from dropsy and St. Vitus Dance to Salt
Rheumatism. Humphreys medicines were
sold as a collection for a variety of ills in a
ready made cabinet. The Auburn museum
has one in its current roster of displays.

Moser said he was watching TVs

American Pickers and a man with
a warehouse full of treasures was
asked what the most bizarre item
in the collection. He said it was an
ozone generator like this one, Moser
said. We have three. The one in the
photo has neon lights that glow red
and blue and emits a scent similar to
an electrical storm. A hundred years
ago, many people thought electricity
was a cure-all. But they were in for
a shock.

Amputation kit

This kit, containing a wickedly efficientlooking saw, tourniquet and several scalpels,
provided the basics for a Civil War surgeon
to provide the primitive level of care that
the modern battlefield hospital of 1865
demanded. The kit is rare and the implements
are sharp and ready for use, even today.

wi t h A u b u r n m e di c a l
museum curator

Rod Moser

With an eye for the unusual and the medical, Rod

Mosers love of collecting got an early jump start when
he spotted a line of colorful patent medicine bottles on a
shelf at a country doctors office in West Virginia.
Forty-six years later, Moser is retired from a career as
a physician assistant and serves as curator of the Gold
Country Medical History Museum in Old Town Auburn.
Moser shared the story of his first foray into collecting
as well as the future vision for the museum.

I was doing a rotation in West

Virginia in 1970 and the doctor
had a display of vintage bottles from the
1920s. One even had heroin in it. He said
that they came from an old company
store whose contents had been bought in
an inventory sale. I drove there and the
store was selling Baby Ruth gum made
in the 1920s. The owner saw that I liked
that kind of thing so he took me upstairs
where he had old medicine bottles from
the 1920s that he sold to me at list price.
From there, I started with old antique
stores in West Virginia.

Q.What are your latest donations?

A.

Paul Goldstein of Rochester, Minn.,

had amassed one of the largest private collections of medical and pharmaceutical artifacts in the United States and
at one time, planned to put them all in a
vintage pharmacy in San Francisco. Wed
lost touch after he donated some cabinetry to the museum. I contacted him again
and he said that he would like to donate
the collection. I took a plane to Minneapolis and was able to find transportation
back to Auburn for 150 plastic bins filled
with artifacts, plus several cabinets. Many
of the objects now on display are from
Mr. Goldsteins donation. It has taken six
months to sort and prepare this new and
exciting collection for public display. Sutter Auburn Faith Hospital has provided a
big boost, with $1,000 to prepare for this
new collection.

Q. What are your plans for the

museum?

A.

My personal goal as curator is to

finally have this museum open
every Saturday and Sunday ... . To do
this, I will need just 12 volunteers willing
to staff the museum for four hours, only
once every six weeks. I desperately want
to involve more of our history loving and
healthcare community in this effort. Im
no medically retired and not getting any
younger. I need help. Im also putting a
call out for museum advisors to serve on
our new board.

Mile-by-Mile Guide for

South Fork American River

Written by Jeremy Burke Photos by Jeremy Burke & hot shot imaging
Thousands flock to the South Fork of the American River daily in the summer time
to catch the thrill of running the river. The South Fork is one of the most popular rivers in California for many reasons. The river has consistent water releases throughout
the summer even in times of drought. The South Fork has an amazing blend of fun
rapids with a limited risk of injury. The American Rivers South Fork is Californias
standard beginner to intermediate whitewater run that many rafters run repeatedly
and never outgrow. The whitewater is mostly class II+ with ten class IIIs, two class III+
rapids, and one class IV. There are lots of fun but not life-threatening rapids on this
river, which can be run almost any day of the April thru September Season.
Season: April September
Stretch:Chili Bar to Lotus Park
Difficulty:Class III+ with one IVDistance:8 miles, 2-4 hours
Flows:800 1800 CFS, measured as release from Chili Bar dam (CBR)
Put-in:Chili Bar Bridge
Take-out:Henningsen-Lotus Park
Shuttle:20 minutes AWE to Chili Bar. 30 minutes Salmon Falls to AWE

Mile 0 - Put in under the Chili Bar bridge. Chili Bar

Hole provides fun raft surfing at levels around 1500
CFS. Large pools below in case you fall out of the raft
having too much fun. Downstream are several easy
rapids, two involving large rocks. A trail follows an old
mining road on the right bank.
A - Mile .6 - Meat Grinder Rapid (class III+). A small
diversion canal removes water on the left, and a large
rock is visible there, just left of center. This is a long
rapid (over 1/4 mile that can does require paddling to
get a raft through successfully. At some flows, the leadin rapid can be run either left or far right. Either way,
you need to maneuver back to the center, entering the
main rapid about 10 meters from the large rock, slanting left-to-right thru a slot between submerged rocks.
This is an easy move, but failing to make it can have
severe consequences, because the biggest waves and
holes are still ahead. After this, keep the raft into the
waves as the current funnels you towards Rhino rock
on the right. After Rhino rock, wave size decreases, and
you can eddy out on the left, or finish the rapid along
the right.
B - Mile 1.3 - Racehorse Bend Rapid (class III-).
The river curves left among boulders, then runs into an
up tilted slate cliff on the right, with submerged rocks
along the cliff. Paddle hard and in time as the safest
exit is towards center. Big eddy below on the left to
swim and play in.
C - Mile 1.5 - Maya Rapid (class II+). Choose either
a small hole on the right, or a ledge drop on the left.
Big but easily avoidable holes at higher water (class III
above 3500 CFS). Maya is a popular kayak surfing spot,
often with long lines and a fun wet hit in a raft.
D - Mile 1.7 - Rock Garden (class II). A maze of
small boulders that need good paddling and boat control. At lowest flows (under 900 CFS) it is best run on
the far left, but most of the time you can go anywhere
for a fun ride.
E - Mile 2.4 - African Queen (class II+). Several willow-covered islands create a multiplicity of routes. The
most common is right almost all the way, cutting left to

J
avoid a shallow-trap at the end of that channel. This route passes some
nice big waves near the second island. The most fun route is left over a
one-foot falls (not for rafts under 1700 CFS), then center thru a very
narrow slot between islands. The far left channel is boring.
F- Mile 2.9 - First Threat (class III). The river enters a boulder garden, then turns right into a deep hole along a rock
outcropping on the left. The hole makes for a good hit, and
is flippiest on the left, but can be mostly avoided by skirting
right. Dont fall out or youll get laughed at!
G - Mile 3.2 - Second Threat (class II+). Almost immediately, the river drops again thru a slot along a rock outcropping on
the right. Good swimmers rapid with a large eddy below, making it
easy to reach the rock outcropping for repeated swims.
H - Mile 3.3 - Third Threat (class II-III depending). Make of this one
what you will. The center is easy and unobstructed, but there are large
holes on the far left halfway down, and on the far right near the bottom.
Running both holes is an advanced maneuver. Lots of fun paddling to
get a good line.

I - Mile 3.7 - The Narrows (class II+). The river slaloms right to left, and enters a channel on the far left
with many barely-submerged rocks. Rafts often get
L
stuck here when crews do not paddle well.
J - Mile 4.0 - Minigorge or Slusebox (class II+). The
river enters a miniature gorge in bedrock, with pleasant waves
and rapids. Fun and splashes.
M
K - Mile 4.3 - Swimmers Rapid (class II). A boulder bar
rapid with big waves, this is a good place to practice throw
N
bag techniques from the right bank. The Coloma quiet
zone begins just below (no yelling, no water fights).
Mile 5.0 - AWE & ARR Campground and cabins on left
bank, good for 2-day trips.
L - Mile 5.1 - Troublemaker Rapid (class IV-). The river enters
a boulder garden, followed by a falls, with an S channel on the far
left. The rapids name describes your route well. At lower flows, the
true path is narrow indeed. If you shade right, a large diagonal wave
tends to flip rafts. If you go too far left, you end up in an eddy that

Continued on page 26

is hard to exit. Precise placement of the raft into the gut of the hole surfs
you next to a big rock on the left below, then thru a steep channel along
Gunsight rock, where rafts often end up wrapped. In any case, the swim
isnt too bad, but keep your feet up.
Mile 5.6 - Private campground on right, then a steel bridge. River access should be legal, but is prohibited and enforced by the County. Put in
at this campground or American Whitewater for the longest possible class
II run.
Mile 5.8 - Coloma Lake, a long stretch with slow-moving current.
Take-out is prohibited; put-in access for non-commercial groups only,
when doing the Coloma to Lotus run (class II).
M - Mile 7.2 - Old Scary (class II-). This was formerly a class III rapid
on the right shortly above the Highway 49 bridge, until high water detoured the river leftward during the winter of 1982.
Mile 7.4 - Concrete bridge for Highway 49. Float under the bridge and
relax in the sun. This is a popular put in site for most rafting companies
lower gorge trips.
N - Mile 8.0 - Henningsen-Lotus Park. This is the best stopping and
starting point for breaking up this run into two sections.

What if
I
fall Out?
Be Swim-Ready
Even with the best bracing, you might find yourself in the water. Your
guide will tell you before you even reach the rapid which way youll want
to swim if you fall out too far from the raft. Once youre in the water,
orient yourself and look for your guides cues. He or she wont steer you
into danger.
your in the water now what?
Swim hard if you can, and if you arent a strong swimmer or cant swim,
let your guide know before you start. Most importantly: ALWAYS keep your
feet up, because you can easily get them trapped by a rock along the river
bed.
Always be prepared
While youre riding the river, be sure to regularly tighten your PFD (personal flotation device. Sometimes called a life jacket, but that can be
misleading, because it isnt always a sure-fire safety measure.) The water
can loosen your straps, so just give them a tug every once in a while.

River Shoes: A great option are these river shoes from Astral.
These are called the Loyak and this photo was taking at the
River Store in Lotus. Photo by Jeremy Burke

What Do I need?
Suggested Clothing
In hot weather: Swimsuit and/or shorts (for women, its
recommended to wear shorts over the swimsuit, as the rubber of the rafts can chafe or be especially slippery on bare
skin making it more difficult to stay in the boat!). A longsleeved shirt can help prevent sunburn, and on super-hot
days, an all-cotton short will stay wet longer and keep you
cooler. Some companies require you to wear closed toe
shoes, such as river-specific shoes or old tennis or running
shoes. All companies require that your footwear has a heel
strap no flip flops, clogs or mules allowed.
In cooler weather: No cotton! An insulating shirt (polypropylene) or fleece jacket is essential. A raincoat or splash
jacket provides more insulation and warmth. Wetsuits are
available for rental by most companies, or at one of two local
river stores. Wool or polypro socks, booties, or sandals, river
shoes or running shoes.
Other Necessities
Always bring: Sunscreen, hat, sunglasses (with a strap),
water bottles. If you are on prescription medication, have a
bee sting or food allergy and carry an epi-pen. If you are
asthmatic and require an inhaler, please notify your guide so
proper stowing of these medications can take place prior to
leaving the shore. Waterproof cameras are always welcome,
and most companies wont say no to a water gun or two as
well.
What NOT to bring: Towels youll get wet again and
again, but in the mid summer sun, youll dry off too quickly for a towel to make a difference. Wallets even the tip
money can be left back at camp. The rule of thumb is If
it cant wind up on the river floor, dont bring it. Car keys
countless sets have made the river floor their final resting place. AAA loves Coloma/Lotus in the summertime for
just this reason. Boom boxes or Walkman/iPods. Alcohol and
drugs many companies provide beer or wine back at camp
after the trip, but while whitewater rafting, youll need to
be prepared for falls, flips, and other unexpected excitement.
Alcohol tends to make people dehydrated, lethargic and slow.

Troublemaker: Above is the only class IV on the South Fork of the American,

International Whitewater
Classification System
Class I (easy): Fast moving water with riffles and small waves. The river has few obstructions which are all obvious and easily missed with little
training. The risk to swimmers is slight and self-rescue is easy.
Class II (novice): Straightforward rapids with wide, clear channels
which are evident without scouting. Occasional maneuvering may be required, but rocks and medium sized waves are easily missed by trained
paddlers. Swimmers are seldom injured and group assistance, while helpful,
is seldom needed.
Class III (intermediate): Rapids with moderate, irregular waves
which may be difficult to avoid and which can swamp an open canoe. Complex maneuvers in fast current and good boat control in tight passages or
around ledges are often required. Scouting is advisable for inexperienced
parties. Injuries while swimming are rare and self-rescue is usually easy but
group assistance may be required to avoid long swims.
Class IV (advanced): Intense and powerful but predictable rapids
requiring precise boat handling in turbulent water. The rapids may feature
large, unavoidable waves and holes or constricted passages demanding
fast maneuvers under pressure. Scouting is usually necessary the first time
down. The risk of injury to swimmers is moderate to high and water conditions may make self-rescue difficult.
Class V (expert): Extremely long, obstructed, or very violent rapids
which expose a paddler to added risk. Rapids may contain large, unavoidable waves and holes or steep, congested chutes with complex, demanding
routes. Rapids may continue for long distances between pools, demanding a high level of fitness. Scouting is recommended and may be difficult.
Swims are dangerous and rescue is often difficult even for teams of experts.
Proper equipment, extensive experience, and practiced rescue skills are essential.
Class VI (extreme and exploratory): These rapids have rarely
been attempted and exemplify the extremes of difficulty, unpredictability,
and danger. The consequences of errors are very severe and rescue may be
impossible. These rapids are for teams of experts at favorable water levels.
After a Class VI rapid has been run successfully several times, its rating may
be changed to Class V.

The Grand Daddy of them all

Jeepers Jamboree crawls into 64th year
Written by Bill Sullivan Photos by courtesy
Its known to avid off road enthusiasts as the Grand Daddy of all four-wheel
drive excursions. Its the annual Jeepers Jamboree and its climbing in its way in and
out of the famed Rubicon Trail in the heart of the Sierra Nevada wilderness for its
64th consecutive year later this month.
The Jeepers Jamboree is known as the oldest, toughest and largest organized
event of its type throughout the world. The event takes a year of full time planning
and takes place for a four-day stretch July 28, 29, 30 and 31st on a route that is
never the same year to year, changing vastly due to Mother Natures work over the
winter months.
The Jeepers Jamboree begins in the heart of Georgetown. It is from there that
some 500 jeeps and over 1000 participants depart and travel approximately 45
miles on paved roadway to Loon Lake. After they cross the second dam, the adventure begins and asphalt is an extinct commodity for the next three and a half days
and nights.
Once the wheels are locked in and tires slightly deflated, the next 17 miles consist of strategic rock climbing, stream crossing and off roading on a trail that is
rated beyond a ten when it comes to difficulty and pleasure at the same time.
The Jeepers Jamboree is more than a driving experience, participants and guests
are wined and dined nightly in Rubicon Springs. However, its not your typical
campsite atmosphere. The trip is completely catered, with a full service bar that is
erected in the heart of the forest. Dining, dancing and good memories are made
under the stars complete with live music by artists who are actually flown in for
30

Foothill Magazine

the event. Vendors are often set up at camp

each evening as well. In a nutshell, the campsite at Jeepers is a small city in a zip code of
nowhere.
I love to see people come from Los Angeles
and all over the world to enjoy our backyard,
said Bob Sweeney, long time participant and
president of Jeepers and Jeep Jamboree Inc.
Were feeding them. Were guiding them and
were doing everything it takes to give them a
five-star place. Its a chance for four wheelers
to gather, talk shop and enjoy the beauty of
the trail.
During nightlife at the Jamboree, participants rarely tire of the fun and spirits that, in
the end, are sold for a good cause. Proceeds
from the sale of beverages are used for charitable causes in the community such as funding scholarships for area youth, community
programs and more.
Another amenity that you wont find on
your typical four wheeling trip? The Jeepers
Jamboree fields a team of on-site mechanics
to assist participants. Common replacement
parts are stocked on site and sold to participants as needed, mechanics are volunteered
but commonly tipped by those who utilize
them in appreciation for their hard work.
The Jeepers Jamboree is presented in conjunction with the Jeep Jamboree that takes
place later in the month. While the Jeepers
Jamboree is more of adult atmosphere, with
travelers required to be 14 years of age or
older. The Jeep Jamboree permits those 6 and
older to attend.
To participate in either of the treks, acceptable vehicles include Jeeps, Land Cruisers, Toyota Pick Ups, Samurais, Scouts, and Broncos
prior to 1979. Highly modified vehicles can
also be utilized with pre approval by the Jeepers Jamboree Board of Directors.
No expert driving experience is required to
participate in the Jamboree events, trail guides
are provided along the entire trail route to instruct drivers of the preferred lines to travel
through the challenging rocks and terrain.
This gives even the newest of four-wheel
drive hobbyists the opportunity to wheel with
the best on the world famous trail that offers
no detours or bypasses along the way. Much
like an amusement park roller coaster, once to
make the decent you are committed to ride
until the very end.
In addition to the vehicular entertainment,
dining and dancing, other activities along the
trek include a good share of fishing, hiking,
swimming and historical talks about the trail.
Great socializing is one of the true high points
of this trip among off roaders, many of which
meet one another for the very first time.

The Jeepers Jamboree from

July 28 -31 accepts participants
for either a three-day trek or the
full four days. Registration for
the 4-day trek is $450 per person.
Three day trips are $415. Registration includes daily meals along
the way.
The Jeep Jamboree for the
younger, family oriented groups
take place August 5,6 and 7th.
Registration for this trip is $415
per person and family members
16 years or younger are $310.
Following the annual trips, officials and volunteers from the
Jamboree travel the trail and
assure that all is cleaned up and
placed in its original condition.
This organization is very proactive in preserving the Rubicon
Trail as much as they are traveling
it. Additionally, it is a requirement
that all participants remain on
the designated trail as all times.
Sweeney added that he feels
this group is just as, or even more
environmentally conscious as
hikers. Our efforts ensure the
use of the trail for future years,
but also help to keep the area a

As a kick off to the July 28 event, the Jeepers
Jamboree Outdoor Expo takes place on Main Street
in Georgetown. Here you will find over 75 vendors
packed into main street, a huge selection of truck
and jeep accessories, parts, camping gear, food
vendors and more. This event is open to the general
public and takes place all day from 9 am until 6pm
as a somewhat opening ceremony for the Grand
Daddy trek into the Sierra the next morning.

Summer Squash
Written by Carol Arnold photo by Jeremy Burke
Summer is in full swing in Placer County, and a classic barbecue favorite
is grilled PlacerGROWN summer squash. For a healthy, colorful addition to
any summer get-together, try Courtney McDonalds Grilled Summer Squash
Salad with Herb Pesto Vinaigrette. Tossed with tomatoes and homemade
pesto, this recipe is a delicious way to showcase the bounty of summer
squash available at PlacerGROWN farmers markets throughout the season.
The summer squash category includes a variety of vegetables, including the zucchini, pattypan and crookneck squash. Each squash is available
during the summer season; therefore, they fall under the term summer
squash. In fact, summer squash are not technically vegetables despite common belief. They are pepos, which are a type of hard-walled berries, like
cucumbers and watermelons.
Zucchini are among the most popular summer squash types and can be
found in many sweet and savory dishes. Pattypan squash, though tougher
in texture, are ideal for longer cooking and higher temperatures (such as in
stews and chili). Crookneck squash are the most distinguished, as they have
curved-stem ends and sweet yellow flesh.
Whatever the type, every part of the summer squash are edible, including the flesh,
seed and skin.
Zucchini also
produce an edible flower that
serves as a great
garnish for salads. Altogether,

SELECTION AND STORAGE
Although every type of summer squash will vary in size, shape, color and
texture, the selection process is the same. Look for summer squash that are
glossy, unblemished, brightly colored and feel heavy for their size. When
selecting a squash, choose one that is not too big or too small; extra-large
squash can be fibrous and extra-small squash can lack flavor.
While they may not appear to be delicate, summer squash should be
handled with care as the skin can be easily punctured. Store unwashed
summer squash in the refrigerator so theyll remain fresh for up to seven
days. For additional recipes and more details on where to purchase summer
squash in Placer County, visit placergrown.org/search/summer+squash.

San Diego Transplants: Away from the busy life of southern California the
Shannon and Michael are expanding their farming business.

illview Farms is a small neighborhood farm nestled in the foothills

of the Sierra Nevada in the town of Auburn, Calif. Shannon Ousley
and Michael Whamond gave up the hustle and bustle of San Diego
life to start a farm on only .75 acres, although, expansion is in the
near future. The couple are proud of their production per acreage and feel it
is leaps and bounds over traditional farming.
Michael explained that it is due to their no-till farming techniques.
Farmers from around the world are asking to visit this farm to see how
their yields are so high. No-till farming, in short, is a way of growing that
does not disturb the soil with tillage. Hillview Farms can get five to seven
plantings of lettuce in a season with this method.
With less than an acre it is amazing just how much this small farm produces. Everything they grow is started from seeds, which as they explain, is not
always the norm. Shannon plants over 1,000 seeds a week.
They grow vegetables for three important reasons; to bring together the
community through an appreciation of local food, to leave the world a little
better than they found it and because they love cooking with organic veggies.
For us farming just makes sense, and we are so happy to have found
something that we love to do that we can share with all of you, Shannon
said. We believe strongly in the simple idea that healthy soils equal healthy
families equal healthy communities, and we work hard to ensure that our
soils yield the very best quality produce for our community to enjoy.
Their produce is available at numerous farmers markets and restaurants
within the Placer County area, as well
as at their very own farm stand which
enables a direct connection with the
community to the very land that their
produce is grown on.
We could not have done this without the constant help and guidance
from the local farming community,
Michael said. We could not have
been successful without them.
If you havent had the chance to
visit you are in for a treat, the weeping willow backdrop to their produce
stand is worth the visit alone.

only get to enjoy this dish if I make it myself. Instead of an English muffin on the bottom of
the stacked breakfast tower, I made zucchini fritters. You can also make a similar fritter with a
sweet potato for a stronger carbohydrate. Add some homemade hollandaise with a few strips
of bacon and a poached egg and you have a brunch worth bragging about. It is always a good
idea to add a mimosa to wash it down.

Zucchini Fritters

Ingredients:
1 pound (450 g) zucchini (or Summer squash
or both)
1 teaspoon (5 g) salt
2 large eggs
1 ounce onion (40 grams) or two medium
scallions, minced
teaspoon (2.5 ml) baking powder
cup (45 grams) Almond Flour
cup GF Baking Mix or more almond flour
or coconut flour)
cup (30 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
Directions:
1. Grate the zucchini with a cheese grater.
2. Put the zucchini on a paper towel and
sprinkle with the teaspoon of salt to remove
excess water.
3. Mix the zucchini gently to distribute the
salt and let it sit for about 5 minutes.
4. Squeeze the zucchini out in a paper towel
with your hands
5. Once the zucchini is dry, place into a medium sized mixing bowl.
6. Add the eggs and scallion to the zucchini
and mix together.
7. In a small bowl, add the rest of the dry
ingredients and stir together.
8. Heat a medium to large pan over medium
heat. (Be sure to watch the fritters to they
dont burn.)
Note: Be sure to drain the zucchini fritters
on a paper towel before serving.

Hummus is always an easy party favorite and

making it with squash is just fun and flavorful. The squash adds an additional creamy
texture to the hummus that the chickpeas
dont have on their own. The end result is
delicious. Serve with homemade chips and
roasted carrots and you have the perfect appetizer to please a crowd.
Ingredients:
1 cup (140 g) sliced and cooked yellow
squash
4 cloves garlic, peeled + minced (2 Tbsp)
1 lemon, juiced (2 Tbsp)
1 15-ounce (425 g) can chickpeas, lightly
rinsed + drained
1/3 cup sesame seeds
3-4 Tbsp (45-60 ml) olive oil, plus more for
roasting garlic
Sea salt + pepper to taste (1/4 tsp each)
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp smoked paprika
FOR SERVING optional
Gluten Free Parmesan Tortilla Chips
Roasted Carrots

Directions:
1. Heat 2 tbs of olive oil on a skillet on the
stove and saut the sliced yellow squash until soft. Approximately 5 min. Careful not to
leave it on too high or the squash will burn.
2. In a blender add the cooked squash, 4
cloves fresh minced garlic, lemon juice,
chickpeas, sesame seeds, olive oil, salt, pepper, cinnamon, cumin and smoked paprika.
3. Pure until creamy and smooth, scraping
down sides as needed and adding more olive
oil or a touch of water if its too thick.
4. Taste and adjust seasonings, then serve
immediately with chips and vegetables of
choice. Alternatively, refrigerate until fully chilled - about 1-2 hours - for a thicker,
creamier dip.
5. Keeps for up to 4 days, however served
fresh is the tastiest option.

Hummus Continued

Notes
*To roast carrots, preheat oven to 375 degrees F. peel and slice any large carrots in
half lengthwise. Transfer to a baking sheet
and lightly drizzle with olive or and a pinch
of both salt and pepper. Toss to coat, then
arrange in an even layer and bake for 20-30
minutes, or until golden brown and tender.
Gluten Free Pita Chips
*Slice as many gluten free flour tortillas into
quarters and lightly brush both sides with
olive oil. Sprinkle with Parmesan, salt, and
pepper and place in the oven with the roasted carrots. The chips will cook faster so be
sure to pull them out when the sides begin
to brown.

Zucchini Hummus Roll

Ingredients:
2 medium zucchini
1 tbsp olive oil
tsp salt
tsp ground pepper
6 tbsp + 2 tsp Squash Hummus - see recipe
above.
1 roasted red bell pepper, diced (you can use
the peppers you used in the pasta as well)
Directions:
Slice the zucchini into strips using an mandolin.
Heat oil on high heat in a pan on the stove.
When warm place sliced zucchini and flip
each strip after 30 seconds.
The goal is to warm the zucchini and not
make it mushy.
After each side is warmed, place on a paper
towel to drain and cool.
Fill each strip with the hummus and bell peppers you made earlier and roll.
Some may stay better than other so it is a
good idea to have toothpicks handy.
*optional- sprinkle with smoked paprika and
a little extra salt and pepper.

Zucchini Noodle Pesto Pasta

I know that if I ever get the chance to go to

Italy I will eat pasta and pizza for every meal
of every day. Since I am not in Italy and am
not prepping for a marathon, my body should
not be consuming that many carbohydrates.
This recipe is refreshing and light with a savory sweet satisfaction that all great Italian
dishes possess. The best part is you get a fusion of flavor without the heavy feeling of
being overly full after a plate or two. Since
this is basically just a fancy way to cut vegetables I recommend either making a meat
sauce on top or grilling some chicken to go
on the side. It is incredibly important to not
overcook the zucchini noodles or they will

Ingredients:
3 whole zucchini
A handful of cherry tomatoes
1 cup Parmesan
1 cup fresh mozzarella ( I like the mozzarella
balls)
1 whole red bell pepper
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup of fresh pesto
2 small basil leaves
2 tbs. olive oil
1 tbs. minced garlic
Additional: grilled chicken breast
Roasted Red Bell Pepper:
Set oven to broiler on high setting
Quarter the bell pepper and remove all of the
seeds
Line a baking sheet with tin foil and place
the quartered bell pepper skin up
Drizzle lightly with olive oil
Broil on high for about 10 minutes or until
the skin is wrinkled and slightly blackened
Check periodically so he peppers do not burn
Remove from the oven and allow to cool

release too much water and completely ruin

your delicious sauce. Its best to just warm
them either in the oven or on the stove with
a splash of olive oil and Italian seasonings.
Too much salt will also cause the zucchini to
sweat. A trick would be to spiralize the zucchini and leave salted on a paper towel to
help remove any access water, blot dry, then
cook. The roasted red bell pepper was also
a nice additional sweet taste. Note: if your
toppings are hot (sauce, tomatoes, peppers,
etc) it will aid in the cooking of the Zucchini
Noodles. Transport yourself to Italy and still
be able to fit swimsuit this summer.
Homemade Secret Pesto
Ingredients:
3 tbs. pine nuts
1 cup basil- packed
2 tbs olive oil to 1 tbs. balsamic vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup Parmesan
2 cloves of garlic
Directions:
Blend everything in a food processor, except
the Parmesan cheese, until smooth.
Once you have achieved a desirable smooth
texture, slowly pulse in the Parmesan cheese.
For a finer texture use powdered Parmesan
as opposite to a fresh block.
Directions For Pasta:
Zucchini Noodles:
Use a spiralizer to form the zucchini noodles.
Do so will all three zucchinis and set on a
paper towel.
Lightly salt the zucchini noodles and let sit
for 15 minutes
You can peel the zucchini ahead of time if
that is your preference. I prefer skin on.
Once the noodles have sat for 15 minutes,
blot them dry with a paper towel
Heat the olive oil in a skillet until hot
Saut the garlic in the oil until fragrant
Add sliced tomatoes (or any other desire
veggies) until soft.
Pour pesto sauce over the veggies until warm
Set aside
Place the noodles in the same skillet to warm
for no more than a minute
Serve the noodles with the sauce poured
on top and add fresh mozzarella and grated
Parmesan cheese.

Zucchini Brownies

Who wants to eat veggies for dessert? I know I do! I dont know if you could call these zucchini
brownies healthy, but they sure are a great way to sneak in a good handful of greens without
anyone knowing. No one I asked was able to guess that I baked these brownies with shredded
squash. The flavor is completely masked by the chocolate and the result is a fudge-like moist
brownie with an ooey gooey milk chocolate frosting. The frosting is the most unhealthy thing,
but without it the brownies just wouldnt be the same. Sneak this summer squash into chocolate decadence and I promise kids wont be able to tell and you will feel like this guilty pleasure
can be a little less guilty.
Ingredients:
2 cups gluten free baking flour
3 Tbs cocoa powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 c. sugar
1 tsp. salt
2 cups shredded zucchini
cups oil ( melted coconut oil is the best)
2 tsp. vanilla
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 Degrees F
2. Mix dry ingredients
3. Once they are well combined then add wet
ingredients.
4. Mix well. The batter will be pretty thick
5. Spray a 9 by 13 inch pan with coconut oil
or butter
6. Pour batter evenly in the pan
7. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes. Frost with
milk chocolate frosting

Ulrich Orthodontics
By Noelle Konrad
This year, Ulrich Orthodontics is celebrating
4 years since Dr. Beau Ulrich joined his father,
Dr. Bruce Ulrich, in the family practice. Ulrich
Orthodontics has been a part of the Auburn
community since 1974. The original office,located in Old Town Auburn, opened only a half
a block away from the current location on Lincoln Way. In 2006 Ulrich Orthodontics moved
to a larger location. Dr. Ulrich moved the office
in 2006 to expand the business and allow for
a more welcoming and calming atmosphere.
Its been a milestone all the way around,
said Dr. Beau about the last 4 years working
with his father.
Following in his fathers footsteps was
something Dr. Beau always knew he wanted
to do. Dr. Beau attended school at the University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of
Dentistry in San Francisco and then continued
to UCSF Medical Center for his orthodontic
residency.
It was cool knowing I had gone to school
with many of Beaus (my sons) instructors,
said Dr. Bruce.

hearing health
What are the Different Types of Hearing Loss?

From there Dr. Beau worked part-time

at his fathers office in Auburn while also
commuting to the Bay Area. After a year he
decided to join full time. It has been an unbreakable bond ever since.
It takes a special connection to be able to
work with immediate family members. When
asked if they particularly enjoy working with
one another,
Dr. Beau answered, Yes, we like being able
to bounce ideas off of each other.
Whereas Dr. Bruce followed and said, Im
really happy that Beau is taking over the aspect of the business. He is ethical beyond description. Not just because he is my kid.
Even with Dr. Beau preparing for an eventual succession, Dr. Bruce has no plans of retiring any time soon.
Staying up to date on the latest technology
is of particular important to Ulrich Orthodontics. They are currently remodeling the office
to include organized stations for sterilization,
privacy and cleanliness. The entire office is
digital for client convenience and comfort
with paper as an optional alternative. By going digital in x-rays and filing, Dr. Beau and
Dr. Bruce along with their staff are able to
cut down on time and exposure to radiation.
We are all digital in regards to patient interaction, said Dr. Beau.
They even offer a patient education video
in order to give their patients as much information as possible on any given procedure.
Ulrich Orthodontics combines current
technology and online capabilities with good
old fashioned customer service and patient
care. Everything about my sons braces experience had been above and beyond the call!
We love the Ulrichs! commented a client.
The new design of the office was produced
from the creative minds of the Ulrich family. Dr. Beau commented that each art piece
was chosen in remembrance of father/son
activities of his youth. It is all nature themed,
which not only gives a serene environment,
but also reminds Dr. Beau of activities such as
hiking, backpacking, and basically anything
outdoors.
They are always accepting new patients
from all ages and are open from 7:45 am to 5
pm Monday through Thursday.

Aint Necessarily Dead Fest

By Noelle Konrad Photos are courtesy to Foothill Magazine
On July 16 Auburn will be celebrating one of its biggest events of
the year. The Aint Necessarily Dead Fest is the one of the largest free
festivals, outside of San Francisco, in Northern California. Locals and
tourists come from all over to hear notorious and local music, drink
good beer, and have a great time.
It is a day of incredible music, featuring the best in local talent and
some of the best known traveling bands around. As the name implies
this festival is based on the music, vibes, and fun that started some 50
years ago or so with Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead, said Auburn
local and event volunteer, Scott Holbrook.
It is difficult to not get excited with such big names on the set list.
Stu Allen and Mars Hotel will be headlining the evening and for those
who are not familiar with Stu Allen, he is well known amongst fanatical Deadheads. Many other Grateful Dead
Stu Allen is well known in the Grateful Dead scene, as his reputation as a very special interpreter of Jerry Garcia is second to none,
Stu often plays with many of the remaining Dead members, including
Bob Weir and Phil Lesh, last years set was truly magical and I for one
cannot wait for this year, said Holbrook.
The Auburn community truly comes together in celebration for this
event. Many of the breweries and musicians contribute their time and
products for free or at least at a fraction of the cost.

This festival truly is a labor of love. It is a grass roots event that

happens only because of the generosity and commitment of many,
commented Holbrook.
Auburn Ale Houses Lisa and Brian Ford lead the brew aspect of the
festival and the crew at Outward Bounds in Loomis will be attributing
as well.
But music and great beer is not the only reason to spend the day
at the incredible Regional Park! Heck the park itself is a feature of the
day, try out some pickle ball, play some disc golf, take a stroll.lots of
space to stretch your legs and relax, said Holbrook.
This years festivities are sponsored by AAA, Solar City, Maxs, Old
Town Pizza; Union Bank, Pizza Express, KVMR, Sac Bee, Wave, and the
Auburn Journal. There will be something for every one of all ages. Kids
will have a designated zone entertainment, including carnival games
and if the weather is nice, waterslides. Meanwhile, adults can either
listen to music or go shopping for memorabilia up and down what
Deadheads call Shakedown Street. Come and celebrate with great
food and loads of fun on a beautiful summer day.

A Small Town is Like a Big Family

Business Profile...The Basic Shop

s a resident of Placer County, for more

than 30 years, and a member of the
Loomis community for the past 12, I am very
proud to have the opportunity to support
the Shop Local movement by launching
The Basic Shop, a retail store that provides a
wide range of womens fashion, unique home
goods and specialty gifts. After retiring from
a lengthy career in banking, specifically in the
Katie Thompson
Talent Acquisition arena, the idea of building Owner, The Basic Shop
my own business just seemed natural. The
concept of The Basic Shop came from my personal frustration
with the inability to find unique and quality items, everyday items
at an affordable price. Hence, the name, The Basic Shop. Im
proud to say that we have something for everyone. Our fashion
ranges from bohemian to formal, with sizes ranging from petite
through plus size. Our bath and body products are organic and
eco friendly and our home dcor lines are either recycled, give

back to a community group or are locally crafted. Its amazing

to have the ability to give back. In the past year, Ive had the
opportunity to get to know my community and truly look forward
to becoming even more involved in the future.
