I recognize those vests!! The fire station next to Ace Hardware in Arnold usually has a rack outside with vests that I’m pretty sure are free. That might be a place to go.

You might want to drop them off at the shelter at the Snowshoe Springs pond with a sign that say’s “FREE”.

A few years ago someone in BTV gave us a couple of life vests for free. the grandkids have now outgrown them so I thought I would pay this forward. They are two small child ones in good shape.

I will be here today, leaving tomorrow morning if anyone is interested.

Sweet!!! After 24+ years of nothing, this is great news! Thanks for the info!!! And yes, maybe this means we don’t need that overpriced AT&T!!!

There is a new Verizon tower by the water tanks on Bigfoot Circle.

I live at the very lowest point of Big Trees near the intersection of the end of Sierra Parkway and Indian Rock. We have NEVER had any cell signal. Then three weeks ago my cell phone beeps and I had text messages. Upon a closer look I had one bar of Verizon LTE. WHAT??? I have had coverage up there for several weeks now after 18 years of nada. Email, internet, texts, everything working very well. I can only assume Verizon upgraded a tower, or installed a new one. Whatever they did, it is a nice improvement. If the signal is consistent and reliable throughout next winter I’m considering getting rid of my very expensive ATT land line.

Has Verizon updated any of its cell towers, or something similar? When I arrived last Friday I realized I had a very strong 4G signal, which wasn’t the case a month ago at my last visit. Have never had a signal until this weekend….did I miss something? It was WONDERFUL to have the use of my cell phone!!! And the ability to use it as a mobile hotspot for my tablet since I don’t have internet…life was good this weekend!! Sure hope it wasn’t a fluke.

A few years back there was a very nice gentleman who was a Comcast higher up and active on this website. He was able to help a few users with some problems. I’m having a Comcast service problem down in the bay that is affecting my whole neighborhood. I was hoping someone remembered his user name here so I can get in touch with him and have him give me a little direction. Finger crossed, I’m at wits end.

Thanks, Brandy

Try Ebbetts Pass Sporting Good website at http://www.ebbettspasssportinggoods.com (use their full website, not mobile I believe) to access Bill’s weekly fishing report. Also, I don’t believe Utica produces much action…Union is the one that is planted between the two lakes.

My wife and I hiked PCT from Ebbetts to Lower Kinney lake. Lots of snow on the trail. From the trail, we could see Kinney Reservoir. There were cars there in the side of Hiway 4. Highway is open all the way over.

As I post another wildfire warning coming from CalFire. Please make responsible choices.

[Sierrashoo]

Please, please. No more personal fires of any kind this summer. BLM has banned any fire – campfire permit notwithstanding. There’s even a ban on smoking outdoors. It’s 90 degrees outside right now according to my thermometer. One good poppy log could be disastrous no matter how well you’ve constructed your fire pit. If you need to entertain kids, consider setting up an outdoor sheet/projection area. Microwave some smores or do old fashioned popcorn on your stove top. PLEASE. When I smell your fire it’s not in any way shape or form comforting. Autumn will be here soon enough, and will the rain. We can do this all again then.

Meant NOT effective on last line sorry.

[lawver]

I have seen enough breakers that appear to be untripped which in reality are. Rather than hiring an electrician for a major rewire or investing in surge protectors, I would simply replace the breaker.

Breakers can and do wear out and fail. One that is pseudo tripped may now be beyond its useful life.

Surge protectors have a narrow effective use window and usually don’t. Lightening and high voltage lines dropping onto power lines when a drunk takes out a power pole are not incidents where surge protectors are effective.

[Karocker]

No smoke. We have been here all week and the air quality is great.
