Gas powered motors are allowed on Lake Alpine but there is a 10 mph speed limit. Most motors there are electric.

I was up mountain biking and got caught in the storm just below the Lodgepole Campground and OMG. Marble size hail came down so hard It hurt when you got hit. It hailed hard for a long time. I must have been under a tree for at least a 1/2 hour. I was near a creek and it became a torrent in no time, good thing I didn’t have to cross it. I was soaked to the bone and getting cold. I was about 2 miles from Bear Valley so When the hail let up I got on my bike and rode back in the pouring rain and light hail.
I got back to my car at the BVAC and expected to see my car dented up from the hail and the guy said the hailstones were small in BV.
On the way home, it was dry just below Tamarack.

We went up to Lake Alpine yesterday evening and arrived just after a freak hail storm had come through. There was over an inch of hail on the ground much of which was about an inch in diameter.
We walked through the Silvertip campground and talked to the camp host. He said that the hail had smashed two of his trailer’s sky lights and destroyed his awning. We also saw many tents and shade structures that had been trashed by the hail. Most of the campers were still in good spirits but we saw a lot of people packing up.
The forecast yesterday was for 20% chance of thunderstorms. Today’s forecast is the same. Hopefully we won’t see such a destructive storm come through tonight.

Yes, power boats are allowed on Lake Alpine. I see them all the time. I use an electric trolling motor, but gas powered are OK.

FYI, regarding New Melones:

Are power boats even allowed on Alpine?

That’s pretty good sized boat., but I’ve seen people launching at Spicer. They will have to back up quite a bit to get it to float. Watch the depth finder! The lake get shallow in places. Talk to Bill at the sporting goods store.

Lake Alpine might be a better bet. It was nearly full when I was there 2 weeks ago. The ramp and dock can be used.

Some friends want to bring their 22 ft. Bass boat up. Can we get that out onto Spicer or would it be best to head back down to Melonies? Anyone?

BY context I was guessing ISO = In Search Of.

What does the abbreviation ISO stand for?

We worked with Elaine Monges of Barry Wards. She was great to work with. Thru the process of looking for a vacation home, she helped us find out what we really wanted in a place up in Arnold.

Will the Arnold webcam every get fixed? Have they given up on it? Along with the Dorrington web cam it was useful in the winter to see what road conditions were like.

Hi all,

We need to get a drainage culvert dug in front of our house to encourage the rain water to run away from the house. Any recommendations for a local contractor?

I’m pretty sure the original house had this, but it must be all clogged up. Now the water just sits there and eventually seeps under the house increasing the humidity in our 1/2 basement.

Thanks!
