Advisory: To all non essential visitors to Calaveras County. The purpose of this message is to notify you to stay home.STATEMENT FROM SHERIFF RICK DIBASILIO
April 1, 2020To all non essential visitors to Calaveras County. The purpose of this message is to notify you to stay home.
We implore all persons in and around Calaveras County who do not either reside here or provide essential services, to recognize the impact that the population increase due to visitation has on our community and health care system. Now is not the time to come to our community. If you are visiting for the day or short term, please respect our request to return to your primary place of residence. If we all do not practice STRICT social distancing and self-quarantine, we will suffer grave consequences. We cannot support recreation, visitation, close proximity, or non-essential public interaction right now. There is no other alternative and this must be accomplished now. If you want Calaveras County to remain the vacation getaway it has been in the past, we all must act to ensure a speedy recovery.
There is nowhere to recreate as all recreational areas have been shut down and closed due to the COVID-19 virus. Please stay at your primary residence, recreate in your backyard. If you do not, it will be a long time until we flatten the curve and slow or stop the spread of this virus. Once that happens, we will be able to go back to our normal lives.
Calaveras County’s demographics includes many senior citizens. Their risk is increased if they are exposed to COVID-19.
My staff is isolating themselves on their time off so that we may be here to serve those who need us. Recently we have had to respond to calls that were unnecessary due to visitors not following the advice given by CDC and our County Health Officer. You will be putting my staff, your public safety and their families in danger from unnecessary exposure.
Please, wash your hands, sanitize surfaces, avoid touching your face and please s tay home unless it is necessary.
Thank You
Rick DiBasilio, Sheriff

I won’t post the video here but there is a good summary of California and Calaveras isolation regulations on YouTube. Just go to YouTube.com, or open the app and search for:

UPDATE 2 3/29/2020
FYI, site/user administration is more difficult and time consuming when having to use somewhat spotty verizon hotspot in place of Comcast WiFi internet. Hence, I have been putting off new user request administration until we get Comcast service. If they are unable to restore service this coming Wednesday, I will bite the bullet and work through the requests as best I can. Be aware that I get about 100:1 spammer requests so it is quite time consuming.
@skipamy we are at the corner of Kenshaw and Wikami.Resources during this emergency does not equate to money it equates to how many ICU beds are available at the only two hospitals within an hour’s drive. It equates to how many loaves of bread or cartons of eggs are available at the grocery store.
During this emergency nobody cares about financial resources being brought to he community because there is no where to spend them without increasing risk to the community.
The current order is not for a two week isolation, it is for an indefinite isolation. Social distancing rules are in place when essential services are required. Otherwise, everyone has been told by the governor and local law enforcement, STAY HOME!This virus is everywhere and rather than telling people “keep out” I believe the better message to those on Big Trees Tech should be one of encouragement for our entire community to follow health guidelines of 14 day self-quarantine and maintaining social distancing. Not “stay away”!
Like it or not, those of “us” who enjoy our second homes up here drive the majority of the Arnold area economy. Do you believe the businesses along Highway 4 through Arnold or even your own business Sandi would even exist without those who love this area and have chosen to buy second homes here?You talk about straining resources yet have you considered the area has considerably MORE resources with “us” than without “us”? In addition to keeping local business alive, over $11,000,000 comes into the county through our property taxes which full time residents receive the most benefit from. We can’t even vote in the local elections which is yet another benefit to full-time residents.
Instead of sending messages to keep “us” out, there should be respect for what we provide to the local economy and the individual decisions and RESPONSIBILITY we are taking under these difficult times.
Rather than shaming us for legitimately living in our properties during this outbreak the message should be to please observe 14-day quarantine and social distancing to help keep our ENTIRE community safe.
Perhaps Sandi, instead of offering services to check on empty cabins you would be better off offering deliveries of needed supplies and groceries to those of use who are being vigilant and following health guidelines during these difficult times.
We are all in this together and am take extreme umbrage to not being considered a true member of this community that deserves to be living in a home that I have loved for over a dozen years while I support this community.
Everyone please follow health guidelines, stay strong and stay safe.
Thank you for this post, Sandi. We own a property in Snowshoe Springs that we usually open in April. We have resisted the urge to leave the Bay Area and go up there, but for the reasons you state, that would be unwise and unfair to the mainstay population in the county. We did learn that our cabin sustained some damage from a broken tree that fell on the power and cable lines, but repairs will just have to wait until this crisis subsides. We can only hope that more people will begin taking this pandemic seriously and stop putting others (and themselves) at risk. Regards and be well.
UPDATE: 3/29/2020
ATT and Comcast were out in force yesterday. They got all their lines in our part of BTV out of the trees and back onto poles. Service was restored to most of the neighborhood but unfortunately, not to our place. A technician for Comcast is suppose to check our service on Wednesday 4/1. So, as of now, that is the earliest that weather station and real time snapshots can be restored to BigTreesTech.We will get through this!

Thanks to Sandi and a neighbor I now have a good reading on the situation at my place on Yuroc. Some problems but not major. Thanks.
Just another brief update on BigTreesTech as of 3/27/2020 @ 6:05am.
We still have no ATT phone or Comcast, hence, no updates from the weather station or cameras are possible. As far as I know there is not an estimated restoration date for our services at this time.
We do have power, good Verizon coverage, are well stocked for the time being and are healthy so on a personal level we are great.
Stay healthy, stay safe, stay home,
joeDitto,
We had news that a tree fell on our property and we did not want to head up there with all of the power and snow issues. We called Sandi and she made it to our place on the same day and assessed the situation at our place, sent us pictures of our damaged deck and the fallen trees. We were reassured that there was not a hole in our cabin. She is awesome!
