Photos from the Tree Lighting last night. Good times!
Yes, we are still looking. In my haste to make our flyer we had some errors, please see corrected flyer.
I am posting this for the McGrath family who have lost their puppy tonight. Please see below for their contact information and the description of Moji.
There is an attachment with the dog’s picture . In case you cannot see it, he is about 8 pounds, black and white. Answers to his name.Needs medicine right away. The tag still says Mars.

They’re setting up now. Looks like a lot of goodies. The weather is going to be awesome. So, come on down to the Dorrington Tree lighting, have some fun, and kick the Christmas spirit into high gear 🙂

joeThe road to the trail head has 3-4″ of packed snow on it, I just drove in w/2 wheel drive but if you get off of the pack you’re liable to get stuck without 4WD. The Chickaree day use parking area is plowed so you could park there. The trail itself has the same amount of snow on it, but should be pretty visible especially if you’ve hiked it before.
I recieved the Sportdog unit and have been using it on Ruby for the past few days. Links to the satellites within 30 seconds, and keeps the link very well in and among the trees. I have been leaving it on all day and the batteries are good for the entire time. Highly recommend.
I had a chance to use the SportDog training/tracking collar mentioned above over the last few days and can echo the comments about the collar. Easy to use, locks onto the satellites quickly, and holds the signals very well. I have been leaving the handheld control and collar on all day and the batteries hold up through the entire time. great product so far.
Thanks for the advice.@MtnMax at 1:48 pm 11/28/2013 – Other than this technical zoning thing you are dwelling on, it seems we pretty much agree with everything else. There is no specific zone for RV storage except on agricultural property.
joe, I hope you plan on fixing this chronological order thing. 🙂
you don’t get it. you brought it up that there was no wildlife. I had to disagree. I know this property will be developed and no I don’t want big box but it is within the confines of the zoning. I agree Ebbetts pass Lumber has most everything necessary to live here and I wish we had more local shops. I have been here for many years and I also came here to escape the congestion down below.
It’s not like that small area will take away enough land area to effect wildlife. The wildlife would be better off away from Highway 4 anyway. I’ve not seen any RV storage units along freeways but I haven’t lived where there are a lot of freeways (thank goodness). I moved up here to get away from box stores. Ebbetts Pass Lumber has just about anything I need in the way of lumber and between Ace, True Value, and online I manage to find anything else I need. Besides that, a Wal-Mart or a Home Depot would take away business from local stores. There’s not enough empty stores in Arnold now to suit you?
The area in question is teaming with wildlife. There are countless numbers of deer, bobcats, bears, coyotes and even Mountain lions. As for the big box store you brought up at least it would be more useful to the entire community and fit the zoning. Although it would be a shame.
@jandm – There’s no need for debate. If you like brown brush along the side of the road (hardly “wildlife” and only a handful of trees) that’s your choice. A Wal-Mart or a Home Depot is an eyesore, and the unimproved property currently there is an eyesore. We’ve also had a 33 foot RV and never had a problem driving it with a tow vehicle. I suppose we will have to agree to disagree. There’s a public review of the negative declaration from September 6th through October 7th. Don’t forget to submit your written comment. I know I won’t. Happy Thanksgiving!
