    I believe that the sign posted at the Lube Room is referring to the pullout on the north side of the highway across from the USFS Dorrington Fire Station which is about half way between Otowa and Meko.
    The Cottage Springs area is private property and not open to the public.

    I will repeat an earlier question. Is the tubing area at Cottage Springs open yet? I thought I saw a sign last week indicating there was tubing and sledding happening a few miles up above Dorrington.

    My AT&T land line died Jan 8th. I called them three times, each time expressing that I had no other way to communicate with the outside world. No internet, no cell coverage. And that I had to drive to get to a cell or available wifi. On my third call the AT&T rep said he put my house on a priority. The next day two AT&T guys show up at my cabin. I met and talked with them. Indirectly they said they were checking to see if I was actually at my cabin and commented they wanted to focus on full time residents, not part timers. They left, and an hour later one of the guys called and my phone was working. A lot of buzzing in the background but working.

    So my suggestion is to call AT&T regularly, be polite, but express the difficulty of everyday life without a land line for weeks on end.

    Today they restored partial service to our cabin (down the street from you on Wikami). Now have a dial tone and a lot of static.

    Street level berm heights are still 6+ feet in Dorrington. The county re-plowed the streets this week so driveways cleared last weekend may have to be cleared again. I arrived today to a fresh new 4 foot ice berm.

    The only number I have ever used is 1-800-743-5000 and have just had to be consistent about asking for an agent. It takes their automated system a while to acknowledge you.

    Good luck.

    Does any one have a PGE Phone # that does NOT connect you to their automated system?

    I need to change an incorrect spelling on my service address.

    No matter what button I press, I can’t get to a person.

    Thank you,

    I remember that! That was why I switched to comcast from AT&T…

    Update: It survived! Modern 2014 electric water heater (R.95 rated) with zero power for 5 days. The lines were drained so my only risk was the water heater becoming a block of ice.

    Thank you for the feedback. I will work on measurement systems to further this study.

    Some of the old timers in the CC/Dorrington area keep detailed snowfall records back to the early 1970’s. Would it make sense to digitize these records and preserve the history?

    For example, by my less than precise records this year is on track to match the winter of 2010…We could see 12-15 feet by trout fishing season. The monster winter of 2011 (25+feet of snow) came close to matching 1973 according to Old-timer records.

    Final tidbit…in the winter of 2011, Comcast had a really tough time and AT&T landlines were back up and going quickly. This year we basically have the reverse..great Comcast performance and horrible AT&T service.
