Per post from diashyn on April 8: First inspection from May 26 to June June 2 with second inspection from July 6 to July 12.
Probably the same judging from the fact that they didn’t take the hour restrictions off after the last precip.
Hi,
Has anyone heard if they are pushing back the lot inspections due to the snow and rain in Dorrington? IF not, what are the dates for the first round?
Thanks!
LaurieIt was Dana (Mrs. BTT) that inspired us to join the 2013 Leukemia Lymphoma Society Team-In-Training (LLS-TNT) Cross Country Ski Team. We learned a new sport, raised funds for cancer research/support and had a fabulous 25k race in Anchorage. In 2014, I joined LLS-TNT for an endurance back country hike in Yosemite which was an off the chart wonderful experience. This year, Kevin & I are also cycling AMBBR for LLS-TNT and let me tell you, this is by far the most difficult of the three events. All three events have raised needed funds for research, let us meet new and lasting friends and we have personally challenged ourselves beyond what I thought we were capable of achieving. So Thank you Joe and Dana for introducing us to Team-in-Training.
Other than the obvious benefit of helping to fight cancer, one of the great things about participating in the Leukemia and Lymphoma Societies Team In Training programs is that you get introduced to new training routes whether you’re doing a cycling event, hiking, running, triathlete event or whatever. You get an experienced coaching staff that know lots of great places to do your prep work.
For some of the events, like cycling, you also get en-route support. For example, on the longer rides there are volunteers that drive the route with tools, bike racks etc, referred to as SAG, that will help out any of the riders in need. We also have had rest stops with great munchies and water to fill up on for the next segment of the ride.
Unless you’re already an experienced athlete, training with a group like this is so much more motivating that trying to do it all on your own.
I think that these are reasons why the TNT programs have been so successful in motivating an army of fundraisers. One might criticize the organization for spending some of the funds on management and execution of the program but were it not for what they do hundreds of thousands if not millions of people would have been sitting on their couch, watching TV rather than training for an endurance event and raising funds to beat cancer.
You should try it! You’ll like it!I am also a ham and live most of the time in Arnold. Currently, I’m en route to the Dayton Ohio Hamfest, without question the largest assemblage of Amateur Radio operators in the world. With an attendance of about 25,000 hams, one in every 28 US hams will be there!
I am active on most bands and have recently put up a tower with HF and VHF antennas. I am a member of the Calaveras Amateur Radio Society, CARS, whose president lives in Arnold and meets in Angels Camp. The CARS repeater has coverage over most of Calaveras, Amador, and Toulumne counties as well as a large part of the San Joaquin Valley.

WA6ZTYFYI I just published another update. The Team had a great 65 mile ride out of Half Moon Bay this past Saturday. There’s a map, elevation profile and brief video showing some of the ride in the article HERE.
Just had a new mountain bike crankset put on my road bike. I should be able to spin the pedals at 90 rpm while going up a cliff face now. How does this make me feel?
Found an iPhone 6, front glass smashed, half out of rubber case middle of Hwy-4, last corner headed uphill through the Big Trees State Park.
About 13:00 today.
I use my ham radio quite often at my cabin in BLS. There are a number of repeaters you can reach in the area. In fact there is one on Mnt. Diablo I can reach from BLS to talk to my wife in San Jose. I often ride my dirt bike on the forest roads and bring my HT with me to check in with the wife at the cabin in BLS (on the base station) when there is no cell service. I have my cabin antenna on 10 foot mast that I place on my deck to use the radio, and take it down when I leave. There is CARS http://calaverasars.org/Web/ and a few other clubs in the area.
