FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | JUNE 2020 49 Our most recent 4x4 trip was a descent down Burns Canyon Rd. We took the 20 mile trail from Baldwin Lake at 6,700' down to Pioneertown at 4,000'. Great day for this adventure. The snow from two weeks prior had melted. Minimal dust, water in the streams, and a couple puddles along the way. We found a clearing with some shade where we took a break for lunch and some exploring. Such spectacular views along the way. With the summer heat in the desert, we'll be exploring the higher elevation mountain trails for the next few months. Looking forward to the next adventure. Welcome to our new members, Sal and Lily Vega. This was their first trip with the Four Seasons 4x4 Club. Anyone not in the club who lives at Four Seasons and has a four wheel drive vehicle that they don't mind getting dirty and maybe a little desert pinstriped, is welcome to come to our monthly meetings. The meetings are the first Tuesday of the month, 6 pm in The Lodge Arts & Crafts Room. The official club outing is on the following Thursday. Prior to our excursion, we meet at The Lodge at 7:45 am and roll out at 8 am. Hope to see you there. ~ Scott Snyder, scottdonaldsnyder@gmail.com 4x4 Seasons Just in case: Check with your club contact to confirm meeting place, date, and time. With the coronavirus threat bringing everything to a halt, this will be my generic Breeze article until things get back to normal again and I have something to write about. Our club has 16 members with an average of 10 players participating each week. We have relaxed rules about throwing distances, pretty much where you are comfortable throwing, so everyone can participate and have fun. We have Quarterly Tournaments both Singles and Doubles with the winners' pictures being included in the Breeze. We have quarterly social events, which consist of dinner at The Kopper Kettle Bistro at 5 pm followed by dessert at one of our member's homes. This gets our spouses and significant others involved and makes for a fun evening of fellowship and camaraderie. We usually cap the evening off with a rousing game of LCR (left/ center/right). We're always looking for new members, so while you are hunkered down in your homes for the next several weeks, be thinking about joining us. We meet at The Summit every Wednesday at 9 am, fall through spring, and 8 am in the summer. Our contacts are Ron Erickson at (951) 846-3288, rejlerickson@sbcglobal.net or Gary Christie at (951) 845-0520, goldtoy@earthlink.net. ~ Ron Erickson Horseshoe Club Like so many other activities at Four Seasons, the motorcycle club (MC) has suspended group rides until further notice due to the coronavirus. We were scheduled to go on a three day ride in late March that would have taken us to Lone Pine and Las Vegas; this ride was planned several months ago. However, in accordance with the governor's stay-at-home order, we canceled the ride. Additionally, our weekly Thursday rides and our monthly club meetings are suspended until further notice. For now we remain optimistic that life will soon get back to normal and we are grateful that our club members, along with their loved ones, remain healthy and safe. ~ Jim Ayala, jimrayala95@ gmail.com Motorcycle Club Healthy, gigantic Joshua trees up above 6000'.
