He does excellent work — reasonable — easy to work with — polite and dependable.

thanks
Hi,
i tried that phone number but it comes back as disconnected. did you type it correctly?
Just received a full measured cord of 16" almond from "Salvador" @ 209 368-3684. Delivered price, $250.00 per cord. He needs to haul two cords at a time to make the trip to Dorrington worthwhile, so you may consider splitting the load or working it out with him. He delivered as promised and showed up on time. Great guy to deal with. highly recommended.

As of last year Lionidakis no longer delivers up here. The lady I talked to said that it was no longer cost effective for them to deliver up here. You may pick up almond wood at their place in Escalon.
Quote:Anyone got a great source this year for seasoned oak firewood? I was disappointed in my cord last year that had too much rotten wood in it.other hard woods also considered. we need it delivered, no truck or hitch.
There's always Lionudakis almond wood in the valley. They deliver up here but I don't know what they are charging these days. Here's their website with contact phone numbers:

Jmhaar –
It's not free or particularly cheap – but the best guide to plants, insects, any any other life in the area is Sierra Nevada Natural History from the University of California Press
http://www.ucpress.edu/book.php?isbn=9780520240964
This is the definitive guide for out areaI'm wondering if anyone on this forum knows of a comprehensive plant identification guide – online preferably – where one could identify all the awesome plants which grow in our area. We have a lot of bare dirt in our yard and I see several ground over plants that I think would do very well and look pretty too – like this grape leaf looking ground shrub that spreads via underground vines.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
Here is the latest news….potential new owners (names undisclosed) are in due diligence phase. They were at BV last week and met with some of the locals….Word has it these folks have experience running ski resorts and are not real estate developers, per se.

Did Disney just raise their prices to pay for Bear Valley and all of the upgrades…..
Seems like good news that there is interest. It would be great if the deal went through early enough for solid planning and prep for the upcoming winter season and then be ready to start some heavy lifting next summer.
I heard a rumor that Disney was a player. Crazy to think of Disney owning a ski resort, let alone "our" ski resort. Is this the next Mickey-vacation after resorts and cruises? Disney skiing?
Yahoo – better times and funding for our great ski resort

Earlier this week, I received an email from the RE broker. Interesting that the price is now $8M – Only a couple of weeks ago, the ask was $20M but the verbiage does include the words "investment". I'm pretty confident that the lease agreement with USFS (or whoever owns the land) has an operating clause which would require the resort to remain open during ski season.
We will be purchasing our '13/'14 ski passes by April 30th which is the end of the best price offering.

Investment Highlights
Location – Bear Valley enjoys a great location in the Sierra Nevada that is relatively close (3.5 hours) to the Bay Area with no I-80 hassles or mountain passes to negotiate.
Future Development – With all entitlements in place, a rare opportunity exists to develop a new ski town that will rapidly become a popular regional destination. Development of the Village Center will go hand in hand with improvements on nearby Bear Valley Mountain, including the Village Lift that will ultimately connect the two.
Great Skiing – Bear Valley is a hidden gem with skiable terrain comparable to many top ski resorts in the western U.S. Downhill skiers and snowboarders enjoy the varied conditions at Bear Valley, along with cross country skiers and other alpine enthusiasts.
More Than Great Skiing – During the winter, Bear Valley offers miles of groomed snowmobiling trails, while summer activities include hiking, biking, kayaking, stand-up paddling, rock climbing, disc golf, river rafting, boating and fishing. Residents enjoy private Bear Lake and the town sponsors various summer camps, festivals and fun events including the annual Soap Box Derby and Bear Valley Music Festival.
Ebbets Pass National Scenic Byway – The 60-mile stretch of SR4 between Arnold and Markleeville is known as the Ebbetts Pass National Scenic Byway, anchored at either end by two State Parks – Calaveras Big Trees and Grover Hot Springs – with Bear Valley virtually in the middle. The town of Murphys, just south of Arnold is a charming wine country destination in the heart of Calaveras County.
Bear Valley is Not Tahoe – Bear Valley is a less congested, friendly and safe community where people get to know each other and enjoy one of the best regions for alpine sports in the entire Sierra Nevada. The mountain and village are a safe haven for mountain enthusiasts.If you are interested in Bear Valley Mountain Resort as an investment opportunity, please visit the website:
