It’s be great watching all of your aerial videos Joe! I feel sorry for those that donated to your cause.
I have had great experience with Calaveras construction, Mike Jarnigan for a deck years ago and a garage last year. I’m sure there are other great contractors in the area, just sharing my experience.
May want to keep in mind that lumber cost is up 2x or 3x right now compared to a year ago. If you can wait, maybe the costs will correct themselves, maybe not.
And come to think of it, yes, I think you did send out the link when you took it down from BigTreesTech….
You’re welcome for the link!
But I am not the one who saved the info. I knew it existed “out there” becuase I have used it since you took it off BigTreesTech, and did a quick google search for it to find it.
In fact, I was mistakenly under the impression that you had archived it somewhere using the alias bigtreeshome.com.I wonder who did?!
Hi there, would you happen to have the contact information for James Miller? Thank you so much in advance!
Does anyone have a recommendation for a crew to do a spring clean of our cabin in Big Trees? Thank you so much in advance!
Some of our insect screens need to be repaired in addition to the windows being cleaned. Is there a service that does both? Any suggestions for repairing the screens? Many thanks in advance!
@tmjhsc Thanks for the link and for saving the content.
Did I send that to you when I closed down the Sierra Joe’s website?Our very own “Sierra Joe” has been a source of hiking inspiration for me. Some of these are in Big Trees Park as mentioned in this thread. Others are further up the hills. But the guides and the videos are great….thanks Joe!

Two more suggestions:
1. Across Hwy 4 from Camp Connell there is a dirt road that goes all the way to Arnold/White Pines Lake. Fun bike ride down, anyway.
2. At the very end of the road in Big Trees SP, there is a fire road that continues on, crosses the creek and climbs up the far side. There are lots of side trails and roads there for either biking or hiking. I like to hike a loop up that way and come back down through the South Grove. Even when the park is crowded I rarely see anyone.
The river trail goes from the overlook parking, about half way between the park entrance and Oak Hollow campground down to the river- it’s beautiful and passes through lots of dogwoods if they’re in bloom. It’s mostly downhill, so the return can be a challenge. Here’s a link on All Trails:

There’s a great fire road that continues on the North Grove side of the ridge from the trail that bigtreestechman described too, with a couple of spurs to the right that lead down to North Grove and the park HQ. If you’re bringing a dog, check restrictions: not allowed in North Grove, and must be leashed elsewhere.
