on the Truckee River are visiting the area for an extended period and have
their accommodations planned before calling us, but the following is some
information that might still be useful for your stay. It is impossible to cover
all the options available and you can find an incredible amount of information
on the Internet, but we have listed some web sites that will be a good starting
point.

Granite Chief store - Our
meeting location. For last minute needs, like eye glass retainers, sunscreen,
