SilverRock info for the summer…
June 12th, 2011
Through June, guests of LQ resident card holders can play at SilverRock for only $45! And that’s up to three guests, tee time reservations needed three days in advance. HOWEVER, hurry, because aerification is upon us, as follows: June 20: only back nine open; June 21: only front nine open; August 8: only back nine open; August 9: only front nine open. This mechanical process gets air into the soil to promote better rooting and healthier turf grass.
New Grill hours at SilverRock are as follows, beginning June 20: Open daily at 6:30 for continental breakfast and lunch daily from 10:30 – 3:00. Bar open afterwards with complimentary light snacks. Friday – Sunday, full breakfast from 6:30 – 10:30. It’s a beautiful spot to enjoy the course and our beautiful mountains.
Hurry, or you’ll miss a visual treat…

The smoke trees are in bloom in the Preserve and on a few lucky lots in the Cove. They only grow in washes. Why? because the seeds need to be tumbled by the flowing water before they can germinate. Who knows the botanical term for that??

Work begins at the top of the Cove (waaaaaaaay at the top) with inmates arriving to rake and shovel away the old stuff. As you recall, this is a cooperative project with the City of LQ, Burrtec, CVWD, BLM, Cove Neighborhood Association, Riverside County Fire Department and some hard-working inmates.

Mystery/History Nature Walk on Saturday (21st)
May 21st, 2011
Almost 40 curious nature walkers enjoyed a morning hiking and listening to a myriad of myths and mysteries being addressed by Katie Barrows and local history buffs. One such mystery: What film featured the steps carved into the outcropping rocks above Tecate? The answer is: SEVERAL, most notably “The Ten Commandments” 1956, and “The Big Fisherman” 1959. Maybe more….. The above steps are only the top few remaining in the stone stairway. The lower steps were subsequently covered by the earth moved around to shape the flood control retention basins in the late 1980s.
