There’s also, seen this weekend, some rounds roadside on Natchez and Meko with “free” signs. Meko rounds looked maybe small enough to burn as is, Natchez rounds would need to be split. We’ve got enough so didn’t stop.
So, we have compiled a full 3-cord load from the Dunlops, 532-4974. However, Mike, at 890-3295, would like to go in and split delivery charges if any other neighbors are interested. Give Mike a call!

Interesting article covering “the latest” in fire management studies. It’s lengthy so I haven’t finished the whole article, but looks worthy for our community to read.
As of today, What I miss most from the old site is the road conditions. I wanted to check if the pass got closed today and was about to come to BigTreesTech to find out… hopefully I’ll have that back up before real snow.
There was a “committee” of women that put together “River Memories.” At the beginning of the book it says:
The River Book Committee:
Jan (Renna) Caster
Roxanne (Risden) Desanto
Cathy (Richards) Garthwaite
Lorri (Eastman) Hulsenburg
Kristi (Emmrich) Larrance
Diann (Hicks) Neilson

River Memories – Board’s Crossing, CA
All Rights ReservedI’m sure there were only a few printed but there are some floating around in the Camp Connell, Dorrington and Arnold area.
sectional couch. has recliners on both ends. they both work fine. we are getting a new one so this is up for grabs. located in dorrington.
Glad I put up a security camera recently. Looks like any of us that are up at any given time will have to keep a sharper eye out.
Yes, the book you are looking for is “River Memories.” Many of the people that owned “camps” at Boards Crossing wrote “memories” about the river and Boards Crossing and someone compiled a book. I don’t recall the name of the person that compiled it but might be able to find out. I don’t think it was ever “published” except for local people, probably those that lived or owned camps at Boards Crossing.
The other book is “Traveler of the Crossroads; The Life of Adventurer Nicol Smith” as someone already mentioned. Boards Crossing was Nicol’s summer retreat and he sold much of the land to campers, hence the name “camps.” The large cabin and guest house next to the river was Nicol’s.
Nicol Smith was born on Jan 10, 1910 and died on May 18, 1995.
I believe the name of that book is “River Memories”. I had a copy, but donated it to the Bear Valley Library.
Does anyone know if the Lake Alpine Lodge Restaurant is open this weekend and/or when they plan to close for the season?
Thanks, tortuga, for the tip. I have spoken with her (Julie), and she indicates she has lots of seasoned oak. I plan to get a cord; if anyone else would like to get firewood from this person, and split the $40 delivery fee with me, I would appreciate it. My phone is 795-6746.
