Dick Muniain was raking leaves on his Frymire Road property when he spotted a rattlesnake at his feet! He quickly dispatched it. It was about 10 inches long and now he is wondering where its brothers and sisters are!

The clubhouse is looking good. The trim is now painted a dark green and the whole building looks great. Thanks Ray McCartney for taking on this project for your Eagle Scout Badge!

Sean and Kim McCarthy and children River, Tristan and Savanna along with Kim’s parents Darlene and Ray, and Kim’s brother Matt, his wife Christie and children Ian and Charlotte, have returned from vacationing in our local mountains. They stayed in a cabin in the woods and did day trips.

They went to Calaveras Big Trees where Tristan was awed by their size. They went to Columbia and panned for gold and took a ride in the horse drawn carriage. River decided she would rather collect turquoise than gold. The group swam in Pinecrest Lake and went to Kennedy Meadows where Tristan caught a fish. They toured the Train Museum and rode a train in Jamestown. Kim said there was a lot to see and do just in our area.
