a) ` Letter From The President Bob Mashburn President, Mile-High Section
Bob was on vacation so this month I will fill in for Bob on the Presidents letter. At the
monthly board meeting in June the board of directors decided to change the Board of
Directors meeting schedule from monthly to quarterly. The next quarterly meeting is
scheduled for August 2nd at 6:30 pm. Location will be Mike Redel’s home located at 12245
Helena St. Brighton. Co 80603. Time will be 6:30pm. The next club event is The annual
Joint Picnic held with the Pikes Peak Section on Sat July 14th. We will meet at the Hiwan
Homestead museum in Evergreen for a guided tour and then picnic at the Hiwan Heritage
Park next to the museum. This promises to be a very fun and informative outing. Make your
reservation with Deb Hokanson by July 7th 2018. Many thanks to Deb and Jay Hokanson for
organizing this event.
Looking ahead to August 11th we are planning a drive to Leadville with a guided tour of
Baby Doe’s Matchless Mine site, also a self tour or the National Mining museum. We will
have lunch at the historic Silver Dollar Saloon which opened in 1879 and is still in its
original building. Should be a great summer drive and experience. Contact Karen Redel for
reservations.
Hope to see you at the coming events, have a safe summer.
Best Regards

Joint Section Picnic Hiwan Homestead Museum, Saturday, July 14, 2018 at noon
4208 Timbervale Dr., Evergreen You won’t want to miss this fun and fascinating historical tour.
A cool, summer afternoon at this true hidden gem in Evergreen!
We will meet at 11:45 am at the Museum for our special guided tour.
In the 1890's, Mary Neosho Williams, a Civil War widow, and her daughter Josepha, part of the aristocratic society
of Denver acquired a simple log structure and hired a Scottish carpenter to convert it into a summer cottage. In
1889, Josepha graduated from Medical School in Denver and became one of Colorado's first women doctors.
Seven years later, Josepha married Canon Charles Winfred Douglas, an Episcopal clergyman who achieved world
acclaim for his musical work. After Joespha’s death in 1938 the house was sold to Tulsa oilman, Darst Buchanan
and the property named Hiwan Ranch, after Buchanan's prize winning Hiwan Hereford cattle. Six generations of
notable families lived in this rustic mountain lodge (each adding new rooms), before it was developed as a museum
by Jefferson County in 1974.
We will tour this wonderful home with one of the Hiwan’s special tourguides. After our tour we will enjoy a picnic
lunch at the Shelter in the Hiwan Heritage Park just adjacent to the Museum. This is one of Jay and my favorite
places. The Museum and grounds are beautiful, with a rich history and peaceful mountain setting. We really are
looking forward to hosting our joint picnic at this venue. Cost is $17.50 per person, which includes your admission
to the museum and lunch. Please sign up using the reservation form below, and mail the form & payment to Jay
Hokanson by July 7, 2018.

FORT COLLINS DRIVE
JOIN US FOR A LOVELY FALL DRIVE
Saturday, September 15, 2018
1. Meet at 9:30am at Starbucks, 45 East 120th Ave. Thornton, at the northeast corner of
I-25 and 120th Avenue. From I-25 drive east on 120th one block to Grant Street. Turn
left and drive north a bit to enter the retail area on the left. Starbucks is way over in the
southwest corner of the retail area. People who live up north are welcome to meet us at
the restaurant.
2. Vote for our preferred route: either north on I-25 or west on 120th (Hwy 128) to
Broomfield, then north on U.S. 287.
3. At about 9:45 or so, head for the rustic venerable restaurant on the Poudre River
northwest of Ft Collins: The Mishawaka Amphitheatre, 13714 Poudre Canyon Highway,
Bellvue, CO, 970-482-4420, www.themishawaka.com.
4. If we vote to take U.S. 287, drive north through Ft. Collins. The road curves around to
the west and about 8 miles from Ft Collins splits between U.S. 287 and Hwy 14 (Poudre
Canyon Road). A Shell Station is on the corner. Take Hwy 14 about 14 miles to
Mishawaka on the right near MM (mile marker) 109.
5. If we vote to take I-25, drive north to Hwy 14 (Mulberry in Ft Collins). Go west on
Mulberry to North College Ave. (U.S. 287). Turn north and continue as in #4 above.
6. Meet for lunch about 11:45 to noon and enjoy good food and socializing at a beautiful
setting next to the river.
7. So that I can give the restaurant a head count for lunch, please inform me by
September 8 if you plan to go. And thank you. Michael Davison, [email protected]. Ph
