DONNER LAKE
Jim Wheeler said it looks like there will be a Donner Lake Open Water 
Swim on August 11, 2002. The open water swim was off the 2001 
schedule, but there is a group that is looking to re-activate the 
swim. (The swim is a very popular swim and there have been many 
queries to the Update asking about the status of the swim).
