with news crews, video teams, and professional journalists. But Larry is the
only one there with a mobile portrait studio — shooting in classic
medium format, with black and white film. See his 2010 portfolio at

What Ultrarunners should know about their trails...

MedEvac Helicopter at Lyon
Ridge, 2006 |
MedEvac at a Discount:
Leaving the canyon on a medevac helicopter is not a
prospect any of us wish to ponder. The odds are very small that you or a family
member will need to be life-flighted out of the canyons on Race Weekend, but if
it were necessary (and depending on your health insurance coverage) the
helicopter ride to the hospital could cost you $3,000 or more.
If the call goes out to evacuate someone from the
American River canyons during the event, the folks who take to the air will be
CALSTAR, the
California Shock/Trauma Air Rescue service.
Their helipad is visible from I-80, next to the Bowman exit just east of
Auburn.
If your health coverage is limited or carries a high
deductable, CALSTAR offers very affordable individual and family
memberships that can be
purchased online.The coverage includes not only the entire Western
States Trail, but any CALSTAR medevac in Northern California, Oregon and most
of Idaho and Wyoming. As a Member of CALSTAR, they will bill your insurance
plan (if you have one) for their services. You will not be billed for any
remaining balance. |
