The history that history is part of the 1960 Winter Olympics at Squaw Valley, and Dave Antonucci is an author and historian who wrote about what literally disappeared from those games because everything had been removed, all evidence of it had been removed because it was at the time on private property. Today, that property is Ed Z. Berg, Sugar Pine Point State Park, near to home a California. But in 1960 it was the site of an Olympic. First, it was the birthplace of Olympic biathlon. It was the first time that the biathlon where you ski and shoot at targets, uh, was contested for a medal at the Olympics. There was even a stadium for the cross country events known as the McKinney Creek Stadium. But the reason it all disappeared is that the cross country events were all on private property, and the landowner allowed access only if organizers removed everything they built after the games. Yet even though the stadium was torn down. All evidence of his Olympic first was not lost. The original roadways on those trails that were created, um, there are still remnants, and we can share that with the public today. That spot again. Ed Z. Berg, Sugar Pine State Park, near to Homa in El Dorado County.
