I’m glad the highway is getting updates around the park. The road gets a lot of care compared to many other highways I know. Delays not so good for those that have to work the corridor, though, on a regular basis

San Andreas, CA — Caltrans plans to shortly commence building retaining walls along Highway 4 near Calaveras Big Trees State Park.
Caltrans officials describe the estimated $7.3 million project as an installation along a half-mile stretch of Highway 4, just west of the entrance to Big Trees State Park, that will provide sediment control, improve culverts and drainage. Additionally, the scope entails reconstruction of roadside shoulders. The work is scheduled to commence sometime during the week beginning Sunday, April 16 and complete in in the fall.
Construction is slated to be done mostly in the day. When the one-way traffic controls are in place travelers should anticipate 10 to 20 minute delays. The contractor for the project is San Andreas-based K.W. Emerson, Inc.
If you don’t have a cap on top of your chimney, you need one. This keeps moisture from creeping down the chimney and then freezing and popping off bricks, rock, whatever….then the entire chimney needs to be sealed with an oil based (preferred over water-based) sealer. We had this issue for years before realizing we needed the cap on top…no more problems, but thanks for the reminder for us to re-seal our rocks again. We used someone local but sorry, don’t remember who!
Red Store very helpful and gave me the name and number of a mason who does chimney repairs.
Still playing phone tag with Ash away. I know they are busy with the weather turning nice. I’ll keep tryingSomeone left behind their 3pin backcountry skis at 7N09. Anyone up there yesterday or today and missing your skis? They are still there.
I’ve got 3 mattresses I need to get rid of but the dump at Avery won’t take them. They say they need to go to Copperopolis. Is anyone making a run down there who would be willing to take them down there? I’d be happy to pay to be rid of them.
Thanks,
Dan SchaefferThanks mtndad. Since I had to make a decision because of the upcoming weekend I called Arnold Automotive. Very friendly. Diagnosed it as a CV joint/boot issue. Should be able to make it back home. I appreciate your suggestion and will keep them in mind in the future.
Not in Arnold, but I use

Phone: (209) 728-1115I have had our Subarus serviced there for some time.
Any suggestions for auto repair in Arnold? I have a 2009 Subaru Outback with a severe oil leak that does not appear to be engine oil. Thanks.
My niece is from Murphys and teaches at an inner city school in Oakland. Every year she takes her 8th graders for a “graduation” trip up to Big Trees and the area. For most, it’s the first time they’ve ever camped. For many, it’s the first time they’ve left Oakland. For all of them, it’s a life changing experience. She’s raising money to bring kids this May. If you can, please make a contribution to help these kids experience our backyard. Details below- thank you!

Moaning Caverns on 5/31 (Cave Tour and Climbing Tour) – $641.00
SNAC Rentals on 6/2 (10 SUPs) – $464.40
In order for this money to go directly to the needs listed above, the financial contributions will need to come directly to me. PLEASE MAKE CHECKS OUT TO ME.
